In recent decades, almost all the furniture in our offices has been made of MDF and particleboard. Easy to work with and inexpensive. You see it in desktops, conference tables, acoustic panels, walls, pantries, benches and much more furniture. The problem is that all these products are not healthy and circular. When we no longer want to use them, they cost money and are one big waste problem. Even worse, that waste pile is extremely unhealthy for us as well. This has everything to do with the binder used in making MDF and particle board; formaldehyde. In addition, these linear products are often made in countries on the other side of the world, then transported here by ships and trucks. Then to be put down in, on paper, healthy and sustainable buildings and offices. The office has become a repository of toxic materials and non-reusable worthless furniture, where CO2 emissions play no role.

Because of our race for more and cheaper, we have completely lost sight of reality. We are making ourselves poorer and losing sight of important values such as health and our globe. If you know that, you don't want it anymore, do you? It has to be different!
