IF ONE SHEEP CROSSES THE DITCH, MORE WILL FOLLOW.

Raw materials that have ended up in waste find their way back as circular products, to the offices where they were once discarded.

The way we handle our raw materials, turning them into waste, is no longer tenable. Every year, we throw away 70 million euros worth of raw materials. Materials that we could have reused. Not a very good solution, now that our raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce and we have to ensure that the CO2 emissions of our society are significantly reduced.

IT CAN BE DONE DIFFERENTLY, TURN 7 WORTHLESS OLD FRIDGES INTO 1 VALUABLE WHITE SHEEP .

High-quality raw materials that have ended up in waste no longer need to be burned. They find their way back as circular products to the offices where they were once discarded. In total, the inside of 7 old refrigerators is used to make a beautiful new circular planter, the white sheep. This turns 28 kilos of worthless waste into 1 valuable circular product. No new raw materials are used, it is made in the Netherlands and so we extract a lot of CO2 from the environment.

THE WHITE SHEEP STIMULATES ALL YOUR SENSES AS AN EXAMPLE OF CIRCULARITY.

The raw materials used to make the White Sheep consist of old refrigerators, pressed household waste and textiles that would normally go into the incinerator. The pot is 3D printed, and the legs of the sheep are fixed in the pot by friction. This makes the materials easy to detach and 100% reusable in mono-flows.  

CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND WASTE-FREE SOCIETY VISIBLE AT YOUR OFFICE

In a high-profile way, the waste-free society and circular economy become visible at your office. The white sheep can be used alone or as a flock to green your office. As a divider between workplaces, it ensures that enough oxygen is available for the brain and that harmful substances such as FORMALDEHYDE are absorbed.

A STORY THAT EVERYONE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT

Employees talk about it, how can a refrigerator become a plant pot? Customers talk about it, it is super fun to show what you are doing as a company. And in the evening at the table at home it is also a nice story to share with your children. How mum or dad's company deals differently with raw materials and how we are more economical with our environment.  

MADE IN HOLLAND CONTRIBUTES TO CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND REDUCTION OF CO2 EMISSIONS

The sheep are made in the Netherlands. By producing locally, using local raw materials and working with top designers from the Netherlands, we ensure a strong proposition that improves employment in the Netherlands. We reduce CO2 emissions by not using new raw materials, by applying efficient production techniques and by travelling few kilometres.

PRODUCT AS A SERVICE

Everything is temporary and we cannot own anything. Because we as humans cannot deal with ownership, we throw away raw materials and they are destroyed in the incinerators. If you also believe, as we do, that responsibility is the key to a waste-free society and the circular economy, then do not become a product owner yourself. Place it with the organisation of TRIBOO. We make sure that raw materials are not thrown away anymore but are reused and made into other circular products. If your people and organisation change because your customers or market changes, the circular organisation changes with you. You pay for our service without feeling guilty about irresponsible handling of property. We make sure that the investment in circular furnishings creates an improved proposition for you and your customers.

FROM WASTE COSTS TO RAW MATERIAL VALUE TO CUSTOMER VALUE

And when you are finished with it, we continue with it! TRIBOO remains the owner of the raw materials and together we make sure they are not thrown away again. At the end of the product's life, we pay you back the raw material value of the product and turn it into other circular products!
