Designed for Repair
The most sustainable product is one that lasts. Slowing the cycle of consumption is still the most effective and often overlooked aspect of sustainability, so we engineer our solutions for longevity, durability, and repairability. Repair is simple, quick, and saves your budget with our tutorials (Coming soon).
Re:Impact
In a traditional, linear economy, a product's journey ends at disposal. In our circular system, that's just the start of its next chapter. Re:Impact is our official closed-loop take-back program to remanufacture our, and our competitors' products into new PET or cellulosic acoustic products, reducing your tipping fees and diverting waste from landfills. It's our promise to you that no acoustic products ever need to become waste.
The Cradle to Cradle principle redefines product lifecycles, ensuring materials are endlessly valuable and nature thrives. ARCHISONIC® Felt embodies this innovation, and is proudly Cradle to Cradle Certified®.
See our wide variety of certification and sustainability data to streamline your submittal process and guarantee acoustic performance without compromise.
Made from Recycled or Regenerative Materials
Our innovation is rooted in transforming what is discarded into what is desired, designing not just for a product's life, but for its many lives to come without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
Our high-performance acoustic absorber, ARCHISONIC® Felt (24 mm), is crafted from 88 upcycled plastic bottles per square meter to fuse sustainability with proven performance.
ARCHISONIC® Natura is plastic-free, made from a natural raw material and enables a closed loop system through the use of cellulose. Unlike conventional acoustic materials, which rely on synthetic binders that are difficult to recycle, our bio-circular solution allows the absorber is fully reintegrated into the production process.
We provide a suite of integrated services, harnessing the precision of Swiss Engineering toassess and optimize your designs, finding opportunities to minimize waste while still meeting your acoustic targets. Let us be the expert partner for your project, reducingboth your embodied carbon and your bottom line.
Find quick answers to the most common sustainability questions and gain a clearer understanding of recycled materials, circular design and verified environmental information.
This FAQ brings together key information around PET, EPDs, material transparency and take-back options. By making these topics easier to access, it supports more informed specification decisions and helps clarify how acoustic performance, responsible material choices and circular thinking come together in Impact Acoustic solutions.
What does sustainability mean for Impact Acoustic?
Sustainability means transforming waste into functional acoustic design while focusing on circularity, transparency and measurable material performance.
What does circularity mean in acoustic materials?
Circularity means designing acoustic products for long life, recovery and return into material cycles instead of disposal or down-cycling in inferior products.
How can recycled PET reduce environmental impact?
Using recycled PET can reduce reliance on virgin fossil resources and transform plastic waste into long-life acoustic products.
What is embodied carbon?
Embodied carbon is the greenhouse gas emissions associated with material extraction, manufacturing, transport, installation and end-of-life stages.
What is an EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration is a third-party verified document that reports environmental impacts based on life-cycle assessment rules.
How do EPDs support architects?
EPDs help architects compare environmental impacts and document material choices for sustainable building projects.
How does material transparency support better decisions?
Material transparency enables better decisions about health, fire, circularity, recyclability and environmental impact. We cannot rely on products without certification.
What role do take-back programmes play in circular design?
Take-back programmes create a practical pathway for recovering products and retaining material value after use.
What is Re:Impact Take Back?
Re:Impact Take Back is Impact Acoustic’s programme for recovering eligible materials at end of life and supporting circular handling.
