Interview and article Green-Report (2016) , Collage Tubatect Products 2011-2016, Adrian Ibric, Florin Cristache, Mircea Mihai, personal archive
In one of the interviews that was accorded in 2016, for an article by Irina Breniuc about recycling companies in Romania, we emphasised that for our range, it is more important to keep tubes untreated, neither with resins nor paint, and to keep the intervention as simple as possible, with as limited consumption of resources in the manufacturing section and to reach the 100% ecological percentage.
Basically, the most harmful element in question is the binder with which the original cardboard tube occurs before paper is placed on it and reach us: \”The main feature of the furniture in cardboard tubes is that it is 100% eco.\”
To preserve its sustainability, Adrian refused to use paint, even though it would make it more attractive and durable. He thinks this is exactly what attracts customers: the product\’s sustainability. However, it recognises that design plays an important role as well.
Even if it is extremely simple, it draws attention immediately. In addition, its modularity makes it easy to dismantle and adapt to needs.
However, it is not resistant, it gets dirty easily, and if it gets wet, it deteriorates. In the cabinet, he lasted until about 5 years ago. \”And he will still last that, Adrian believes, as it is used for storing files.\”
