What makes #greengridz worktops really special is that they can be made in one piece up to 5100 mm in length.
Making circular table tops and furniture from #greengridz means less material, less CO2 and less waste. This makes it a practical solution that gives substance to the United Nations' SDG12, responsible production and consumption. And if we all start using lightweight #greengridz instead of massive sheets for the circular furnishing of our organisations, together we will make sure that Earth Overshoot Day will be pushed back one day at a time, so that we will deal better with the resources of our planet.
All these sustainability features are fantastic because they give practical expression to the change that is needed to achieve a circular economy and a waste-free society. However, #greengrdz has many more striking properties, such as the length of its leaf. It is ideally suited for office desks and conference tables in all shapes, sizes and thicknesses. But what makes the #greengridz worktops really special is that they can be made in one piece up to 5100 mm in length. These are truly impressive table tops. The thickness varies from 24mm to 100mm. And when the tops are linked together, you can build infinitely long tables in all kinds of folding shapes that are super light.
The internal grid makes the table top extremely rigid and therefore hardly bends. This makes it a core material for building long tables with a one-piece worktop. You no longer need to divide the table top, which also significantly improves the aesthetic appearance. It is also great for transporting, lugging and handling on site because the tops are super light in weight.
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.
The production of our goods must be much more convenient in view of the growing world population: 'producing more with less'. Every day, desks and tables 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 table tops, the same top with better properties weighs only 7 kg. That's a difference of 18 kilos of material per table top that doesn't need to be used anymore. The material is simply not needed anymore to make a strong lightweight furniture construction. It doesn't get more circular and sustainable than that.
Solid furniture construction panels are an integral part of our everyday lives. You see them at work in the form of furniture such as desks, tables, pantries and walls, and at home as cabinets, beds and kitchens. The global market for these panels is approximately USD 145 billion. Unimaginable quantities of panels are produced 24 hours a day. Unimaginable quantities of panels are thrown away every day. Massive amounts of material are extracted from the earth and about 85% of the panels that are thrown away are burned. If we replace all solid panels with lightweight #greengridz the material reduction amounts to billions of kilos of raw materials and CO2.
The social task in terms of health, sustainability and circularity is to use resources sparingly, produce no waste and save CO2. From now on, the furniture industry can make a substantial contribution to the realisation of this so that the waste-free society and circular economy will become a reality. Simply using a different furniture panel will change your score from the lowest step on the R ladder to the highest step on the R ladder.
