A healthy desktop, 60% less CO2, made from old milk cartons and CARB2 certified.
In a joint development, TRIBOO and ECOR come to market with an innovative lightweight desktop #GREENGRIDZ ECOR. Made from cellulose waste residue streams from old milk cartons, the CO2 footprint is 60% lower than traditional solid tops. The furniture panel is 60% lighter and CARB2 certified. With this it meets the highest requirements, when it comes to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as FORMALDEHYDE.
The patented GRID combined with ECOR's material technology creates a circular lightweight desktop with the lowest CO2 emissions in the Netherlands. It contains no harmful toxic substances such as added FORMALDEHYDE. It requires fewer raw materials, is biodegradable and is made in the Netherlands.
ECOR is a sustainable, 100% recycled material made from local waste streams. Natural fibres such as old paper, textiles and miscanthus are converted into a high-quality raw material. The material is versatile, biobased, non-toxic and fully recyclable. The material is multifunctional, strong, lightweight and can be shaped in many ways.
The raw material ECOR consists of biomass instead of fossil raw materials. The biomass comes from crops that grow on land or in the sea. Residual streams from forestry, agriculture and recycled municipal waste. Two important advantages over fossil feedstocks. The product can be converted into another product with maximum retention of the high quality of the raw material and minimal production of waste. In addition, biomass is CO2 neutral due to its short carbon cycle. ECOR is 100% non-toxic, fully cradle to cradle (certified) and formaldehyde free.
ECOR is made from water and natural fibers using heat and pressure. No adhesives were used in the production process and 99% of the water used is recycled. The process is CO2 neutral. The production of, for example, an office furnishing based on this sustainable material is clean and simple. The material can be cut with a laser and processed with tools. The production generates no waste. Saw waste goes back to the ECOR factory.
#GREENGRIDZ is used for various circular applications such as desk tops, furniture, cabinets, sliding doors, acoustic panels, wall systems, signage, thick floors, stands for trade fairs, shop fitting and interior decoration.
Worthless waste turns into a valuable resource stored in #GREENGRIDZ's time capsule and piggy bank. The healthy furniture that is made from the panels is 100% reusable. At the end of their useful life, you can return them and receive a payment for the value of the raw material. We then turn the raw material into panels that are used to make other circular products. The raw materials for office desks are the raw materials for cabinets, the raw materials for kitchens, time after time after time.
