Every year in Europe, 11,000,000,000 kilograms of furniture is thrown away, 90% of which is burned or ends up in landfills. Only 10% is recycled. With the ROOTS collection of 3D printed circular tables, you can make a difference in your business space and show that things can be different.
ROOTS is a high-profile family of circular tables made from 100% recyclate harvested from waste plastics and natural fibers. The biophilic design is based on Yggdrasil, the world tree with its roots from the Nordic cosmogony. The collection of 3D printed tables includes side tables, conference tables and standing tables. With advanced 3D printing technology, the tables can be made from 5 types of waste. The ingredients used are, recycled polypropylene, PET, rPet carbon, hemp, paper and cardboard.
When the furniture has come to the end of its life then it can be returned to TRIBOO. The raw materials used in the furniture are reused to make other furniture. They are granulated after which the robot prints furniture or the material is used to press tabletops. In this way, all materials are 100% reused, preventing waste of raw materials and significantly reducing CO2 emissions. No Waste!
The value of the raw material is paid back to the person who invested in the durable furniture when it is returned. Per kilogram of furniture, the owner of the raw materials receives 5 euros in return. In addition, the costs normally paid for processing the waste disappear. This cuts both ways. Because the furniture is worth money, it is no longer simply thrown away and the raw materials are no longer lost because they are used to make new furniture.
