Two innovative Dutch companies at the forefront of circular office design and developing and marketing products made from waste are joining forces. Together, they are launching a high-profile circular product, the #GREENGRIDZ Cooloo.

The #GREENGRIDZ Cooloo, is an innovative circular lightweight furniture construction panel which is finished with a bio-based circular coating. This coating made from various local waste streams such as jeans, leather, cork, recycled concrete and even tennis balls gives the panel an unprecedented aesthetic appearance and through the interior tells the story of the waste-free society. The first products made from #GREENGRIDZ Cooloo include desk and table tops and wall panels.

Both organizations share the same vision and focus when it comes to realizing the circular economy. By working together in projects, the #GREENGRIDZ tops come together with other refurbished furniture from Cooloo as chairs, tables, desks, benches and acoustic applications. Step by step, we are thus furnishing more and more offices in a healthy and circular way without using new materials.
