NN'S PLANTERS ARE THE RAW MATERIAL FOR YOUR CIRCULAR MEETING TABLE
Hundreds of planters were no longer needed at the offices of Nationale Nederlanden in The Hague and Rotterdam. Instead of throwing all the valuable raw materials into the container to be burned as waste, NN came up with the perfect circular solution in the Workspace2020 project, together with TRIBOO. The raw materials will return to the office, not as plant pots but as high-profile circular meeting tables.
This robust meeting table is made of four or eight flower boxes depending on the size. Layered in a distinctive fishbone pattern, it provides a chic appearance. The table can be made from various types of wood waste from your organisation. / Dimensions: 2750x1200x760mm | 3000x1000x760mm | 4500x1500x760mm
The difference between reuse and recycling is that in the case of reuse, the product is reused in its application, whereas in the case of recycling, the steel is melted down to make a new or different steel product. In this respect, reuse is the most advantageous in terms of material energy. Material energy is the energy used for production and assembly, up to and including the energy used for demolition. Since steel can be dismantled, it can often be easily reused. In addition, all steel is recyclable, even when galvanised or coated. Central to recycling is the collection of dismantled steel products. This 'scrap' is collected and processed worldwide. Both steel production processes (the blast furnace and the melting furnace) convert this scrap into liquid steel. Worldwide, 45% of all steel is made from scrap. That not all steel is (yet) made from scrap is due to the fact that the demand for steel is higher than the amount of steel that is released from scrap. The production of steel from scrap consumes 45% less energy than the production of steel from iron ore.
Made by hand in the Netherlands. Innovative craftsmanship resting on years of experience and love for making furniture. With passion for the most sustainable and circular materials, raw materials are extracted from waste streams and shaped into high-profile interiors. Professional craftsmen skilled in working with wood, metal, plastic and textiles.
Computer Numerical Control or CNC for short refers to the process of removing material with high-speed precision machines that use a wide range of cutting tools. These machines are used to process materials such as wood, plastics, stone, composites and metal to make circular office furniture.
With healthy and circular furniture. Less material, less CO2 and less waste!
