Autex Acoustics is driving innovation in sustainable building materials by developing circular acoustic products. Their mission is to design products that can be reused and recycled throughout their entire lifecycle, keeping them out of landfills.
Autex Acoustics has developed innovative materials, ReForm and RePET, which are made entirely from repurposed acoustic PET material. ReForm utilises reclaimed material from Autex Acoustics' Takeback Programme, while RePET recycles in-house waste from production like trimmings. These materials not only divert waste from landfills but also provide a new stream for product waste to be reused and recycled repeatedly.
Creating these solutions wasn't without challenges. Autex Acoustics had to establish a viable manufacturing process, run a functioning Takeback Programme, and ensure the finished products met building standards. Through extensive research, testing, and market feedback, they successfully developed ReForm and RePET.
These materials represent a significant step towards a more sustainable future. They help reduce the construction industry's impact, which generates a significant portion of landfill waste. By closing the loop on construction waste, Autex Acoustics is paving the way for a new era of sustainable product development.
As Autex Acoustics continues to innovate, the future of circular materials like ReForm and RePET looks promising. The company is exploring ways to expand the use of these materials and develop systems for recycling more materials. By pushing the boundaries of what is possible, Autex Acoustics is not only contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy but also demonstrating its long-term commitment to sustainability and product innovation.
