GreenShift is a Creative Innovative Furniture .
The specific problem is furniture is being thrown in landfills after redesigning homes and offices . Millions of tons can be reused, redesigned and recreated with artists and those can lead to building new green jobs and new skills .
GreenShift is an innovative green business concept, creating sustainable Furniture and interior solutions, that will have a positive impact at an ecological and social level.
We work on assessing the indoor environmental quality by providing sustainable healthy trendy furniture finished with nontoxic sealants and water based paint. To protect the health and wellbeing of occupants.
GreenShift is working on ecological awareness by promoting the use of sustainable products with ongoing assessment on industry carbon footprint and eco-friendly recyclable/recycled content- instead of purchasing raw materials that cause nature depletion; And avoiding more waste thrown in landfills.
it’s a project to raise awareness to the public ( families, schools , universities, governmental and non governmental authorities) municipalities.. to all population have furnishings in their spaces either home / work / study …
All can be upgraded and revived .
With a broad experience and loads of creativity . We can customize our design in any space ( even outdoors ) we have won a survival recognition designing an urban furniture near the harbor from old fishing boats . That serves the community to meet , enjoy ocean views and can be used by all ages and physical abilities ( we added a space for elderly accessible and wheelchairs )
- Enable learners to bridge civic knowledge with taking action by understanding real-world problems, building networks, organizing plans for collective action, and exploring prosocial careers.

- Concept: An idea for building a product, service, or business model that is being explored for implementation; please note that Concept-stage solutions will not be reviewed or selected as Solver teams
First we need to reach our voice. Arrange a collection place for recyclables. Workshop needed to recreate . Then get advanced with technology. Add 3D printing (which is zero waste ) to create sculptural furniture / artistic multifunctional forms )
so all are present now Technical and market and financial barriers.
- Business Model (e.g. product-market fit, strategy & development)
- Financial (e.g. accounting practices, pitching to investors)
- Human Capital (e.g. sourcing talent, board development)
- Legal or Regulatory Matters
- Monitoring & Evaluation (e.g. collecting/using data, measuring impact)
- Product / Service Distribution (e.g. delivery, logistics, expanding client base)
- Public Relations (e.g. branding/marketing strategy, social and global media)
- Technology (e.g. software or hardware, web development/design)
creating value from waste .
Our slogan
Waste is value
The change will happen by the shift in market trends . By highlighting the importance of social support to the artists/ crafters who created the hand - machine work for them . And by knowing the environmental value ( how many trees saved from cutting ) a campaign will be launched to involve artists and creators from all the world and inspire other makers to reuse ( start from draft and not from zero )
to grow this small concept to a multinational business that educates public , promotes environmental design , creates green jobs , saves negative emissions, and many more .

we are still in the ideation process . Working to grow our sdg reach . The prototyping needs experimentation and more work to be launched .
Artistic creative repurposing of furniture pieces .
All can be recycled and reused .
safe products for the Environment and for humans.
our pieces come with a theme to build up community networks , health and awareness.
Each end user will be informed how much negative impacts he saved . And what positive initiatives he motivated. And then asked to spread the word with us . To be a contributor inviting others . So the circle will keep on growing.
we will be lucky to happy to add future 3D printing to our recreated pieces and designs . Which shows that repurposed furniture are not only old they can be Trendy and fun !
