Simply not using the material again is the most circular. In the development of TRIBOO's home workstations, this is the core idea. Making a better circular construction panel from waste streams with significantly less material. By using lightweight #GREENGRIDZ desk tops in the composition of the home office, the circular economy in the Netherlands is automatically set in motion.

TRIBOO DEMONSTRATES CIRCULAR PRODUCTION IN THE NETHERLANDS

Not only does the commissioning of a circular home office workstation extract between 60 and 90% less material from our earth and emit 60% less CO2 than traditional heavy desk tops made from solid particle board. It creates local jobs and preserves Dutch craftsmanship and innovation. All of this is put into motion by choosing a locally produced Dutch home office desk.

60% LESS MATERIAL = 60% LESS WEIGHT + 60% LESS CO2

The weight of solid furniture panels is heavy. Compared to #GREENGRIDZ, this makes a difference of about 60%. The weight per m2 of a 38mm furniture panel is about 18 kilos of plywood, 25 kilos of particleboard and 7 kilos of #GREENGRIDZ. The #GREENGRIDZ furniture panel is available from 20mm to 400mm. As the panel gets thicker, the weight benefits increase significantly and the material required decreases exponentially.

60% LESS MATERIAL = LESS FUEL AND CO2

Since a load of #GREENGRIDZ panels weighs less, the truck's engine has to work less. As a result, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are significantly lower compared to a load of traditional solid furniture panels. #GREENGRIDZ is made in the Netherlands. This way, we always produce close to our customers, minimising CO2 emissions and environmental impact compared to panels shipped from far away.

PRACTICAL SOLUTION TO SDG12 PRODUCING MORE WITH LESS

The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) are seventeen goals to make the world a better place in 2030. The SDGs were agreed by the countries affiliated with the United Nations (UN), including the Netherlands. The goals were established based on global input from organisations and individuals. The Sustainable Development Goals started in 2015 and run until 2030. They are a global compass for challenges such as poverty, education and the climate crisis.

SDG 12 ENSURE SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION PATTERNS

The production of our goods must be much more convenient in view of the growing world population: 'producing more with less'. Every day, desks are still being equipped with heavy solid tops made of chipboard. On average, these desktops, measuring 1600x800mm and 20mm thick, weigh around 25 kilograms. With #GREENGRIDZ desktop, the same sheet with better properties weighs only 7 kg. That's a difference of 18 kg of material per sheet that no longer needs to be used. The material is simply not needed anymore to make a strong lightweight furniture construction. It doesn't get more circular and sustainable than that.  

WITH TRIBOO HOME OFFICE, THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY IS ON THE MOVE

By choosing a home office with a lightweight #GREENGRIDZ desktop, you automatically contribute to reducing the use of materials, waste and CO2. If we equipped all home offices in the Netherlands with #greengridz desktops, we would save millions of kilos of material and CO2. Now that's working for a better environment! In addition, your purchase stimulates the local economy because #GREENGRIDZ is made in the Netherlands.
