FAST FURNITURE TURNS INTO NEVERENDING FURNITURE
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. This cannot go on and must be radically changed!
With NeverEnding furniture's 3D printed furniture families, worthless waste is transformed into valuable circular furniture and our resources are never lost again. The families include tables, planters, lamps, roomdeviders and sofas in a variety of high-profile shapes and sizes. With advanced 3D printing technology, 5 waste streams, are prepared for extrusion from 100% recyclate. The ingredients are recycled polypropylene, PET, rPet carbon, hemp, paper and cardboard. In addition, it is even possible to have custom furniture made from its own waste.
When the furniture has come to the end of its life then the furniture 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. 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.
In addition to recycling raw materials, our ambition is to start preventing the CO2 emissions caused by transporting furniture over long distances. In every European member state we want to build advanced decentralized production ecosystems so that furniture can be printed locally. As a result, only short distances need to be driven to the customer, thus minimizing CO2 emissions. The first production facilities are already up and running in the Netherlands, Belgium and Slovakia.
Robot 3D printen is een techniek die wordt toegepast bij de productie van de circulaire design meubelen. Laagje voor laagje worden parametrische modellen omgezet in spraakmakende meubelenstukken. Doordat de robot arm vanuit praktisch elke hoek kan printen zijn extreem complexe, gebogen geometrieën mogelijk. Biophilic design en complexe wiskundige vormen en algoritmes kunnen nu eenvoudig worden vertaald naar Dutch Design meubilair. Herbruikbare grondstoffen en recyclaat uit afvalrestromen vormen de ingrediënten van onderstellen van tafels, lampen en plantenbakken. Het creëert een nieuwe wereld van ontwerpvrijheid en maakt de weg vrij voor afval loos produceren. Meubelen worden digitaal getransporteerd naar de plaats van bestemming en lokaal geproduceerd met een minimale CO2 footprint.
With healthy and circular furniture. Less material, less CO2 and less waste!
