Why Sustainable Materials?

Everything and everyone is connected by the network of things we produce, use and discard.

While there are a lot of construction materials that are not easy to optimize away from toxicity and waste, acoustic materials are not one of them.

Absorption with infinite possibility

PET is a formidable acoustic material. It is durable, colorful, shapeable, machinable, flame resistant, and recyclable. PET integrates visually into just about any space, and absorbs so much sound per square foot that coverage can be minimized.

The ubiquitous PET bottles that surround us can be repurposed to enhance our built environment. Cafeteria’s approach picks up at the end of the life of the bottle where they’re broken down and spun into thread, felted, and pressed into sheets.

Other acoustic materials we use where PET is not applicable are, whenever possible, non-toxic, from sustainable materials, and sourced from factories with ethical labor practices.
