Circular table made from old milk cartons

From a discarded beverage carton to a circular meeting table

Milk and beverage cartons contain valuable cellulose fibers that can be reused. For this table, the fibers are processed into a circular panel that serves as the base for the tabletop. In this way, an everyday waste stream takes on a visible and long-lasting role in the interior.

What makes this %circular table% special?%

The tabletop is not made from a traditional, solid sheet material. The core consists of recycled cellulose fibers from used milk and beverage cartons. These natural fibers are reformed into a sturdy panel suitable for use in professional furniture. The material’s origin gives the table a clear circular narrative. Packaging that would normally be thrown away becomes part of a conference or meeting table that can be used within an organization for many years.

From a beverage carton to a %furniture panel%

After collection, usable cellulose fibers are recovered from the beverage cartons and prepared for a new application. The fibers are mixed with water and then pressed into panels under pressure and heat. This process produces a dimensionally stable material that can be further processed into a tabletop. By reusing existing cellulose, fewer new fiber raw materials are needed for the core of the furniture panel.

Compressed using %water, pressure, and heat%

During production, the natural fibers are compressed into a compact panel under high pressure and heat. Water helps the cellulose fibers bond together during the process.

Removable %HPL finish%

The cellulose panel can be finished with HPL, making the tabletop suitable for daily professional use. The finish is bonded to the core using Niaga® adhesive technology. This bond is designed to be reversible. As a result, the HPL finish and the cellulose core can be separated at the end of the product’s service life.

What started with viewing a 3D printed tulip vase and then driven by commitment and enthusiasm, many more circular solutions turned out to be possible, which were eventually realized in the building. TRIBOO gave "working together on housing" a much broader dimension and a story to go with it.

Pieter and Peter find it very interesting and fun to work with TRIBOO. They deliver products that are completely in line with our circular objectives. They take us along in the development and knowledge of materials, binding techniques and modular constructions made on Dutch soil. They simply show us what it is made of and that appeals. They also help us tell "the circular story".

Massaro: 'We chose this furniture because it is made of worthless waste that would otherwise have made a negative impact on our planet. Now the waste has become cool and fun furniture. All those thousands of employees and visitors who will be using the rooms will see the story, read it, and may be inspired to do the same'.
