At Acouflor, we are looking to drive product performance in acoustics while doing our part to lessen our environmental impact.
Acoustic carpet tiles play an important role in improving indoor sound quality by reducing noise pollution, enhancing the acoustic environment while providing cushion under foot. As with all building materials, the production, use and disposal of acoustic carpet tiles can have significant environmental consequence.
Recognising this, Acouflor have taken a comprehensive approach to understand and minimise these impacts through the lifecycle of our products. To contribute to healthier, more comfortable spaces that align with global sustainability goals, we are adding a minimum of 80% recycled PET felt into the backing of all our carpet tiles and working on supporting end of life options available in Australia.
We have partnered with Resource Co who can take carpet tiles at the end of their warranty period to be used as alternative fuels, keeping the tiles out of landfill while providing a valuable resource.
We remain committed to verifying our ranges in safety and environmental claims through eco labels like Declare, Health Product Declarations, Environmental Product Declarations and Environmental Certification Scheme through Carpet Institute of Australia.
This ensures we have proof our carpet tiles are safe for use in the spaces where humans spend the most of their time indoors in Education, Commercial and Hospitality spaces. As we move forward in our sustainability journey, we remain committed to transparency, innovation and the responsible use of resources and look forward to sharing progress and the impact of our sustainability initiatives including the publication of our 2023 Impact Report. Through our efforts, we aim to foster a future where sound and sustainability go hand in hand.
