Green Innovation in Higher Education
In line with our dedication to sustainability, and green innovation in higher education, we have introduced sustainable worktops for our furniture solutions manufactured with 100% recycled plastic. Having seen our Sustainable Lectern on the stand at ISE 2024, Cardiff University decided to partner with TOP-TEC to supply a sustainable Messenger lectern for one of their lecture rooms in their Business School.
Supersized recycled plastic sheets create our recycled worktops, transforming what is usually considered “waste” into new products. Universities even have the chance to use their own plastic waste to create recycled worktops!
Features of the Sustainable Messenger Lectern
-
Recycled Plastic Worktop
The university chose the colourful plastic as the worktop design for the lectern created from PET packaging waste. It incorporated elements of Kaleido, giving it a unique design with colourful, energetic fragments.
-
Height adjustable
Suitable for all users. Equality Act Compliant as the entire worktop rises and falls to suit user preference.
-
Sleek Finish
The recycled worktop maintained the design of our standard Messenger with its modern silhouette. The colours on the worktop offers a unique design making it stand out in the room.
The university appreciates the sustainable lectern, praising how we integrated green innovation in higher education into its eco-friendly design, functionality, and aesthetics.
“ This innovative design by TOP-TEC really transforms the look and appearance of the traditional lectern to something that brings more vibrance and style to the learning space, with plenty of options to choose from regardless of your colour scheme. The unique selling point to me, is the ability to offer a 100% recycled lectern to an industry that can often have a very large WEEE disposal footprint”
