50% fewer transport trips thanks to the use of #greengridz desk and tabletop surfaces

Did you know that choosing a lightweight #greengridz desk or tabletop from TRIBOO EU helps reduce the number of trucks on Dutch roads? And by adopting a circular design for your workspace—whether at the office or at home—with a desk or table, you’re helping to reduce traffic congestion and CO2 emissions.  

Every day, hundreds of thousands of solid furniture panels are transported by road. These heavy panels—particleboard and plywood—are traditionally used as tops for desks, tables, and other furniture. Due to the weight of the material, the trailers used for transport can only be loaded to 50% of their capacity. In the Netherlands, the maximum weight of a truck, including its load, is set at 50,000 kilograms.

With #greengridz, it’s a whole different story. Because of their light weight, the trailers can be loaded to 100% capacity. In practice, this means that only one truck hits the road instead of two. That cuts the distance traveled, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions in half.

Starting today, redesign your office with #greengridz desk and tabletop surfaces. Make a demonstrable contribution to European sustainability goals and join us in making an impact by reducing material use, CO2 emissions, and waste.
