One of the most common pieces of furniture used extensively in our work environment every day is the height-adjustable desk. Working alternately standing and sitting is healthier than sitting all day. This is common knowledge. What very few people know is what these workstations are made of, where these pieces of furniture are produced and what impact they have on health, CO2 and the environment when we can no longer use them.
This is precisely where TRIBOO's healthy and circular desk stands out from all desks available in the market. The #GREENGRIDZ lightweight desktops and the EverUse acoustic desk screens make the difference. We are introducing the new standard when it comes to healthy and circular working.
#GREENGRIDZ is the circular furniture construction panel with a healthy mission. It is the sustainable replacement for solid non-reusable furniture panels such as particleboard and mdf. The structure of the lightweight construction consists of a patented GRID system. The innovative base material is made in the Netherlands and can be assembled from different types of waste residues. The source for this adapter is cellulose fibers from cardboard, milk cartons, hemp and wood, among others. These raw materials are bonded under the influence of temperature and pressure to form strong sheets. No toxic binders or other harmful substances are added. These sheets are pressed into a rock-solid and lightweight furniture construction panel that is versatile in use.

Almost all desks have solid tabletops made of particleboard or MDF. These furniture panels require a lot of raw materials and are very heavy in terms of weight. On the waste management standard, Lansink's R ladder, the lightweight #GREENGRIDZ furniture construction panel scores the highest level. REFUSE. Simply because the material is no longer needed to make a strong furniture construction.
With a #GREENGRIDZ desktop, depending on the thickness of the panel, between 60 and 90% less raw material is extracted from Mother Earth compared to traditional panels. At 19mm thickness, 60% less material is used. With a 100mm sheet, only 10% solids remain in the structure and 90% air. Avoiding the use of material, it doesn't get more sustainable and circular than that!

The lightweight furniture panel contains no toxic substances, is CARB2 certified and biodegradable. This means that it meets the highest requirements when it comes to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as FORMALDEHYDE. In addition, the lightweight construction spares the backs of people who carry and assemble furniture, which results in many happy employees.
CO2 emissions in the production of #GREENGRIDZ are 60% lower than solid furniture panels made of particleboard and plywood. Carrying less weight and more volume. Due to the light weight of the construction panels, the engine has to exert less effort, thus consuming less fuel. In addition, more volume can also be transported. In the Netherlands, the maximum weight of a truck including cargo is set at 40,000 kilos. In practice, this means that trailers with solid sheet materials can only be half loaded. As a result, the load factor is only 50% of the total volume that can be transported. With #GREENGRIDZ, trailers can be loaded 100% due to the light weight, which in turn saves kilometers and CO2. The weight per m2 of a 38mm furniture panel is about 18 kilos of plywood, 25 kilos of chipboard and 8 kilos of #GREENGRIDZ. The furniture construction panels are made in the Netherlands. With this, we always produce close to our customers which minimizes CO2 emissions and environmental impact compared to panels coming from far away. CO2 storage. #GREENGRIDZ is made from CO2 because it is made from cellulose waste residues. This stores CO2 in the furniture.

#GREENGRIDZ innovates on material, binding technology and construction. As an adapter, innovative materials can be integrated into the furniture construction panel. Exclusive access to proprietary reusable materials and pioneering innovations from the market can be adopted flexibly, easily and quickly. Natural cellulose fibers extracted from waste residues are at the basis of all developments. The cellulose raw material turns into another circular product over and over again. A desktop forms the raw material for a kitchen, forms the raw material for a wall, forms the raw material for a cabinet or again the raw material for a desktop.
If you go to a bank to lease gold they look at you crazy. Gold you can buy but not lease. If you want to redeem it again, you can look at the market to see what it is worth, it will be weighed and you will be reimbursed this value. This is also how it works at TRIBOO! Our raw materials and products are worth money! If the value has increased over time, the customer also benefits. Just like an investment or investment. Where previously a cost stream was created by the presence of toxic substances and harmful fibers in non-reusable furniture, now a value stream has been created by healthy circular furniture. Furniture is no longer a cost but an investment and part of a sustainable business strategy. Thus, waste, like gold and silver, acquires value.
EverUse is the circular insulation material made from paper and cardboard waste in the world's first circular insulation factory. Because the circular product is upcycled from waste instead of virgin raw materials, it has a negative CO2 footprint and stores CO2 in the construction in which it is incorporated. The natural cellulose fibres are gentle on the skin and not harmful to the respiratory system. It contains no harmful fibres or toxic substances such as formaldehyde and ink. This makes it possible to create healthy acoustic furniture applications that contribute to a healthy and responsible environment. EverUse is the world's first circular insulation material with Cradle to Cradle certification.
The EverUse® insulation board is sturdy and resilient and forms the basis for the acoustic desk screen. The innovative EverUse recipe is upcycled from waste paper and cardboard. A woolly material is created by shredding these natural cellulose fibres. This material forms the basis for the EverUse circular insulation products. Uniquely, the product insulates both acoustically and thermally, thus solving two problems at once. It is available as a flake, sheet, panel or insulation system. With every EverUse product you buy, you make the waste mountain smaller and the acoustic and thermal comfort in your building and work environment greater.

EverUse makes a valuable contribution to the realisation of acoustic comfort. Absorbing, when it comes to noise nuisance from reflections and reducing the reverberation time. Isolating, when it comes to shielding a room from sound from outside to inside or vice versa. Thanks to its woolly structure and springy mass, sound is very well absorbed at both high and low frequencies. The frequency range where EverUse excels above all other acoustic materials is that of the voice. This is often the cause of nuisance in open-plan offices. With a board of 4cm thickness, the absorption is 100%. Specifications, properties and official tests have been carried out by Cauberg Huygen to substantiate this best in class performance and A rating.
The recipe for EverUse consists of natural cellulose and contains no harmful fibres or toxic substances such as formaldehyde or ink. As the world's first circular insulation material with a Cradle to Cradle certificate, it is our mission to ensure that everyone can build in a healthy and circular way. We produce without waste and prevent reusable raw materials from unintentionally ending up as waste in the incinerator, under the ground or in our oceans. In this way, we prevent damage to our living environment and make an active contribution to reducing environmental pollution, climate change and the depletion of raw material stocks. As a Cradle to Cradle certified material, EverUse also scores highly in the evaluation and certification systems used to determine the sustainability performance of buildings. LEED and BREEAM-NL award credits and points to Cradle to Cradle certified products that have been thoroughly researched and meet very strict requirements in five areas. Safe and healthy use of materials - reuse of materials - renewable energy and CO2 management - improvement of water quality - social aspects. The product must be produced sustainably and be able to be used again as a raw material in a biological or technical cycle.

Your acoustic desk screen as a CO2 storage medium. Because EverUse is incorporated into the construction of the office screen, the cellulose fibres are stored as biomass in the interior. For every kilo of EverUse, 3.7 kilos of CO2 are stored. If we correct for production and logistics in the chain, EverUse has a negative CO2 footprint of -1 kg CO2/kg of product and therefore makes a substantial contribution to the reduction and storage of CO2.
Circular production without waste. EverUse is a material development of 20 years. Designed from the fibre up to be 100% reusable. The circular production facility in Sneek produces without waste, and every insulation board can be completely reused. Even the cutting loss, which is normally a cost factor because waste has to be processed, turns into a value stream in 15 minutes and becomes a profitable circular insulation board again.
Silence is worth its weight in gold. As a circular value chain, EverUse takes responsibility for its high quality cellulose raw materials. So if you're done with it, we'll continue to use it. When EverUse is removed from the desk screens, it is weighed and we refund the raw material value per kilo. If the current value of the material has increased compared to the value at the time of purchase, you will benefit from this extra return and receive it just like an investment in your bank account. Because you have cared for the raw materials with love, you will receive the appreciation instead of an invoice with costs to be paid for the processing of waste. In this way, we can all be responsible for our raw materials and not throw anything away. In this way, EverUse, as a producer, is making a concrete contribution to the emergence of the circular economy and the realization of a waste-free society.
