TRIBOO is growing! More and more organisations choose a healthy and circular interior and want to get involved in the realisation of the waste-free society and the emergence of the circular economy. Our team has therefore been expanded with Michel Porro, an expert in the field of health and office design. Michel will actively contact organisations that consider health important and want to make the circular economy visible in their interiors. He will accompany the request until the delivery of the circular project or product.  

I am Michel Porro.

I enjoy connecting people and making them happy. Creating the right chemistry so that outstanding results are magically achieved. With boundless energy and tenacity, I always do more than is asked of me. Exceeding expectations in an honest and positive way. That makes me happy.

Photography plays an important role in my life. From the age of thirteen, I printed the photos of the portraits I made myself on a fifty-year-old enlarger belonging to my father. Later, I travelled all over the world as a professional photographer. During this trip, I discovered the psychology behind photography. A photographer is often more psychologist than craftsman. With this knowledge I was able to capture the essence of people. Many famous people came my way like the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Richard Branson and Bill Clinton to name a few.

Honesty and justice are important values to me. Before exploring the world, I studied law. For this, I did research into the burden of proof for environmental damage. I saw that humans pollute their environment and what impact this has on health. I just did not know what to do about it and this concern has never left me. Later, when I ended up in Hong Kong and saw that the sky was no longer blue, I was able to apply both areas of knowledge. As a co-founder of the Clear The Air Foundation in Hong Kong, I started working for cleaner air in big cities almost 25 years ago.

I wanted to devote more and more of my time to health of mind, body and environment in the business context. I acquired orthomolecular and epigenetic knowledge to give the right load to my upcoming challenge. During my training, I learned that health depends for the most part on our behaviour and on environmental factors. This led me to two great social organisations TRIBOO and EverUse. We make an impact and make an important contribution to the development of the circular economy and the waste-free society.

Because of my medical knowledge and my great interest in health in the broadest sense, I can inform HR, facililty and purchasing managers about responsible office design in the broadest sense. A company is only really healthy when its employees are healthy and happy. And sustainable materials play an important role in this.

If you have a challenging question relating to circularity and the design of healthy offices, I would be happy to come and talk to you about it. Are you curious and would you like to see the latest circular products and materials? Then come to our experience centre in Zevenhuizen and I would be happy to show you around.
