Re-thinking Acoustic Panels for a quieter and greener Future
The bio-based panels are made with agricultural waste or cellulose pulps as a forest industry side-stream
The acoustic panels are fully bio-based and recyclable with cardboard.
The panels offer a versatile solution for easy installation and handling, optimizing user convenience.
The panels are free from microplastics, contributing to a cleaner environment.
The panels offer endless customization possibilities, allowing for seamless integration into diverse design concepts.
Our panels enable continuous and scalable production, meeting market demands efficiently and sustainably.
The material properties of the cellulose foam ensure superior sound management in any environment.
We aim to address plastic pollution and environmental issues by offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-based indoor acoustical foams.
The solution is inspired by natural materials like wood and cork, utilizing forestry resources & agricultural waste. The foam‘s structure enhances its acoustic properties, and surface treatment further improves performance.
The manufacturing process is simple and continuous, enabling large-scale production. Our technology can incorporate additives to adjust properties such as density, stiffness, and functionality.
The research demonstrates potential benefits like anti-bacterial features, with confidence in the superiority of the proposed material and process over other bio-based foam alternatives.
Our comprehensive suite of professionals caters to a diverse team, ranging from seasoned university professors to young startup enthusiasts. Our team comprises of experts in science business and arts.
