Sometimes you come across a client whose sustainability goals align so closely with your own mission that it’s a perfect match. Movares’ request for proposals to the market was highly challenging: to furnish 6 offices in the Netherlands—a total of 1,000 workstations and additional furniture—as a service in the most sustainable way possible, with a focus on the use of circular products. TRIBOO took on the challenge. Our solution—less material, less CO2, and less waste—was a perfect fit.

Our #greengridz desk configurations, available in duo and solo versions, played a key role in winning the contract. They make a significant contribution to making business operations more sustainable. For service-oriented organizations, the design of the office environment plays a major role in the organization’s carbon footprint. That’s exactly where you can count on the pragmatic solution offered by the innovative, lightweight #greengridz desk and table tops. Simply put, on average, you use 12 kilograms less material per desk top compared to traditional, heavy, solid desk and table tops made of particleboard. With a thousand tops, this means 12,000 kilograms less material is used, resulting in a 60% lower CO2 footprint. By using less material, less material needs to be recycled. We prevent the creation of waste and the use of raw materials—simply because we no longer need the material to make the best desk and table tops in the world.
The circular duo workstations feature an EverUse acoustic desk screen in the center. With recycled textile padding on the inside, it absorbs sound and provides acoustic comfort. The exterior of the panel is finished with felt made from recycled military clothing, giving it a rugged look.
The design also included many other sustainable furniture pieces, such as NeverEnding Furniture—3D-printed furniture made from waste materials, tabletops made from reclaimed wood, modular soft seating solutions, and many other pieces that exude sustainability in the Movares Group’s work environment.
Another important step for Movares Group was to shift from owning furniture to using it. TRIBOO’s solution—a transparent, subscription-based circular office furniture model—can flexibly adapt and evolve alongside the company’s operations.
The subscription offers a wide range of benefits:
Pay for usage, not for ownership.
Use high-quality, durable, and ergonomic office furniture without making an investment.
A fixed monthly amount that includes service, maintenance, and warranty.
You'll never pay more than the agreed-upon monthly fixed fee.
Option to change the furniture.
Maximum financial and operational flexibility.
Contributes to achieving the CSRD objectives.
Supports data-driven facility management.
No risk.
Smart and professional logistics.
Circular office furnishings are registered and entered into the TMS (TRIBOO Furniture Management System). The TMS is a software program based on a portal that contains all relevant information about the office furniture.
Each piece of furniture is equipped with an RFID tag that includes a QR code. This provides access to the portal, which fully facilitates furniture management and offers a real-time overview of what’s in use and where it’s located—anytime, anywhere! This way, we ensure that the furniture never goes missing and ends up in a landfill or incinerator. It always returns to TRIBOO, which ensures that the furniture continues to circulate. Together with Movares, we take good care of the raw materials and our furniture.
