Be the difference you want to see in others, one of the quotes on the #GREENGRIDZ worksheets in the circular canteen that TRIBOO built for Trebbe. Trebbe is a developing builder whose ambition is to make the Netherlands more beautiful by creating sustainable and healthy living environments. Based on the belief that every company is constantly subject to change, it offers its employees a lot of freedom to develop themselves and enter into alliances in order to deal with new issues.  

Changes that lead to thinking differently.

Other forms of cooperation, considerations in ownership or use and new concepts. Some of these changes within Trebbe in which urgency, developments in the market and openness to change find their way to a circular economy: together with GoedeStede, Trebbe helped realize The WikiHouse, a tiny house for the private market in Almere. Together with Westerveld and Nederlof and BUVA, a circular window frame was developed. Nine different sustainability measures were investigated through the realization of an energy test garden in collaboration with deltaWonen. Together with various parties, Trebbe realized the Krasse Knarrenhof, a new housing form where noaberschap leads to people caring for each other and less loneliness. CTC, a consortium in which Trebbe participates, together with Woonservice is developing a circular house from DrentheWoontCirculair.  

With the desire to create a canteen/meeting area at the Service Department, the idea popped up - from the same opportunity to put corporate goals into action - to make the canteen completely circular.

Experiencing modular construction with circular products that can be reused in another place in another setting, that was the goal! The circular canteen should inspire to think more and more from raw materials. To experience, feel and see raw materials applied in a different new way. Other connections, remountable products, less material and above all beautiful. But the circular canteen is more. Not only materials are connected, it should also be an incubator where ideas merge, people find each other. An environment with security and vulnerability where it is also permissible not to have a solution, but a need to give substance to what matters. A space that leads to bonding with the company and what is being pursued together. Be welcome!
