Sustainability
Journey
At Acoustic Works, we are committed to sustainability by transforming post-consumer PET plastic into high-performance acoustic panels. Our eco-friendly process starts with the recycling of used PET bottles, which have already completed their first life cycle. These bottles are collected and given a second life, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy.
By choosing our recycled PET acoustic panels, you're not just investing in high-quality noise reduction solutions - you're supporting the circular economy, helping to reduce plastic waste, and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Solid Durable Acoustic Panels
The journey begins with the identification of PET soft drink bottles marked with a "recycled" label. These bottles are carefully collected and transported to our facility, where they are chipped into small pellets.
The cleaned and sanitized PET pellets are then fed into a hopper, where they are melted into a resin-like material. The melted resin is then compressed and pumped through a specialized device known as a spinneret, which is equipped with multiple shower-rose jets. This process creates fine fibers, much like a "spider web," which form the core of the acoustic panels.
To enhance the safety and performance of the final panels, we introduce a modified flame-retardant PET fiber into the process. This ensures that our acoustic panels meet high fire safety standards without compromising on sound-absorbing capabilities.
Next, the fibers are fed through a needling machine, where they are power-pressed and compacted into a solid, durable panel. This high-pressure technique not only strengthens the fibers but also ensures a uniform, dense structure that maximizes acoustic performance.
