HELP PUSH BACK EARTH OVERSHOOT DAY BY USING LESS MATERIAL AND CO2 WHEN DESIGNING WORKPLACES IN OFFICES AND AT HOME

Today is Earth Overshoot Day for the Netherlands. The day when we have used up all available natural resources for the whole year. Are we going to let this day, which is pushed further forward every year, come back? Or will we make other choices in advance this year to push this day further back?

SAVE AT LEAST 18 KG OF MATERIAL AND 60% CO2 ON EACH WORKSTATION OR TABLE

With every work or meeting place you furnish in the office or at home, you can make an enormous contribution to reducing the use of materials. Every day, desks are still being equipped with heavy, solid tops made of chipboard. On average, these 1600x800mm desktops weigh around 25kg. With #greengridz desktop, the same sheet with better characteristics 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.  

WORLDWIDE WE CAN SAVE BILLIONS OF KILOS OF MATERIAL AND CO2 WITH LIGHTWEIGHT #GREENGRIDZ FURNITURE CONSTRUCTION PANELS

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. #greengridz, the furniture construction panel by TRIBOO has a healthy mission and is going to make a difference.
