Solid furniture panels are used for almost all furniture applications. As a result, many raw materials are required and the panels are very heavy in terms of weight. Because they also contain volatile organic substances such as FORMALDEHYDE, traditional furniture panels often do not score higher on the R ladder than the level of recycling or recovery (energy recovery in the form of combustion of raw materials). The lower two steps of the R ladder of Lansink.

#GREENGRIDZ SCORES HIGHEST LEVEL ON R LADDER REFUSE

By applying #GREENGRIDZ, the furniture panel with a healthy mission, achieving the highest level on the R ladder becomes child's play. The patented GRID simply eliminates material use. Simply not using material anymore is the most circular and scores the highest level on the R ladder.

60% TO 90% LESS MATERIAL WITH A 19MM #GREENGRIDZ PANEL

A 19mm #GREENGRIDZ lightweight furniture panel uses 60% less material than a solid sheet of particleboard or plywood. With a 100mm sheet, only 10% solids remain in the lightweight construction. With #GREENGRIDZ, depending on the thickness of the panel, between 60 and 90% less raw material is extracted from Mother Earth. The material is simply no longer needed to make a strong lightweight furniture construction. This prevents the use of material. It doesn't get more sustainable and circular than that!

THE FURNITURE INDUSTRY CAN NOW MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE REDUCTION OF RAW MATERIALS AND CO2

The social task in terms of health, sustainability and circularity is to use raw materials sparingly, produce no waste and save CO2. From now on, the furniture industry can make a substantial contribution to realizing this so that the waste-free society and circular economy become a reality. Simply applying a different furniture panel will change your score from the lowest rung on the R ladder to the highest rung on the R ladder.

WHAT IS THE LADDER OF LANSINK?

The Lansink Ladder is a standard in the field of waste management. The standard is named after the Dutch politician Ad Lansink, who tabled a motion in the Lower House in 1979 in favour of this method. Internationally, the general principle behind the Lansink Ladder is often referred to as the "waste hierarchy".

The waste policy aims to give priority to the most environmentally friendly treatment methods. These are at the top of the 'ladder'. Government policy must be aimed at having as much waste as possible 'climb' the Lansink Ladder. In practice, this means that it will always be examined whether a certain step can be achieved. Only if this is not the case will the next, lower step be considered.

THE LADDER OF LANSINK IS COMPOSED OF THE FOLLOWING "STEPS.

- prevention

- reuse

- sorting and recycling

- burn

- pour

IN THE NATIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 2002 - 2012 (PATCH), THE CLASSIFICATION WAS REFINED:

- quantitative prevention: the generation of waste is prevented or limited

- qualitative prevention: substances and materials are used in the manufacture of substances, preparations or other products which, after use, are

product does not cause any, or the least possible, adverse effects on the environment

- product recovery: substances, preparations or other products are reused as such after use

- material recovery: substances and materials of which a product is composed are reused after the use of the product

- fuel recovery: waste is applied with a primary use as fuel or for other means to generate energy

- incineration as a form of disposal: waste is disposed of by incineration on land

- landfilling: waste is landfilled
