FreeAxez and McMorrow Reports Partner to Publish Insights on the Circular Economy
Gridd®, The Revolutionary Low-Profile Cable Management Solution, Sets the Standard for Sustainability
BURLINGTON, N.J., June 5, 2023 (Newswire.com) - FreeAxez, the manufacturer of Gridd®, the global leader in raised access flooring systems used for flexible design and building cable management, and The McMorrow Reports, a trusted provider of facilities management and design insights, announce the release of The Circular Economy of Gridd, a comprehensive research paper authored by Lisa Whited. The collaboration details how Gridd's access floor system counters the negative impact of the waste, emissions, and energy use of the built environment industry.
In the current state of the linear economy, resources are removed from the earth, products are manufactured with those materials, and then deposited into landfills at the end of their durable life. In the circular economy, resources are used repeatedly, repurposed, and eventually recycled without the end-o-life stage in landfills. This practice paves the way for products to be built to be durable, repaired, refurbished, reused, and reassembled.
Earl Geertgens, Founder & President of FreeAxez shared the following related to the Circular Economy: "The Gridd system is designed to minimize the quantity of components and to ensure that none of them become obsolete -- an installation completed with components produced in 1999 can be interchanged with those manufactured today, with no additional modification or adjustment."
Further, Eileen McMorrow, Editor-in-Chief of The McMorrow Reports stated that "McMorrow is committed to inspiring and educating facilities professionals and to empowering the industry in this move towards the circular economy and greater sustainability."
With complete alignment of shared principles, FreeAxez and McMorrow came together to share the power of the Circular Economy which requires long-term commitment to the highest quality of sustainable design and materials.
