SoundCircularity™ is the Ecophon circular service offering, designed to support the recycling and reuse of eligible Ecophon acoustic ceiling products. We continue to develop these services with partners across the value chain as part of our work on circularity.

Recycling service

We collect eligible used glass wool ceiling panels and sort the material for recycling into new construction materials. The service is currently available in seven countries.

Reuse service

Launched in Sweden in 2024, the Reuse service collects eligible used ceiling panels for quality assessment. Panels that meet the defined requirements can then be offered for use in new projects.

Products

Choose quality-assessed Reused Ecophon panels as an alternative to newly manufactured panels. Demounted panels collected through our SoundCircularity™ Reuse service are carefully selected and made available for new construction projects. Ecophon Sweden and Ecophon France (and soon Ecophon Germany) currently operate fully established reuse programs and offer Reused panels for purchase.

Ongoing innovation projects

The ReFAB project was initiated in 2022 and carried out together with The Loop Factory, LINK Arkitektur, Design by Johanson, Decibel, LogTrade Technology and Lund University. The aim was to optimise the construction industry's use of resources through new forms of collaboration and circular business models.

Through the project, the partnership has successfully demonstrated how materials previously considered waste can be given new life in commercially viable products. The Second Chance series is a concrete example of how innovation, design and sustainability can be combined to reduce resource consumption and contribute to a more circular construction and interior design sector.

O projeto de escritório no intuito de reduzir resíduos e economia circular

40% de todos os resíduos no mundo vem da indústria de construção onde materiais de acabamento e acessórios são frequentemente substituídos e descartados. Este desafio foi abordado por uma start-up dinamarquesa que criaram, enquanto estavam sediados em Varsóvia, o app Too Good To Go.

Design de Escritórios com menos resíduos – dicas práticas

“Estamos concluindo um projeto de adaptação de escritório para um importante cliente. Todos estão satisfeitos mas o cliente pergunta : ‘e de que forma este design é ecológico? Queremos conseguir explicar às pessoas sobre isso’.” Como evitar uma situação parecida? Como projetar interiores de escritórios que sejam verdadeiramente mais ecológicos pensando na acústica?

Hyllie Terrass – Escritório que impressiona com baixa emissão de carbono

A uma pequena distância da ponte Öresund, na Suécia, foi construído um dos primeiros escritórios com neutralidade de emissões – Hyllie Terrass. É um dos primeiros projetos para a mais nova (e mais exigente) certificação de sustentabilidade na indústria de construção: A certificação do Conselho Green Building Sueco NollCO2.

Grønnköpingkið - o hospital mais ecológico do mundo

A região nórdica é considerada como a vanguarda no que diz respeito à saúde sustentável. Para atender ao crescente interesse das entidades internacionais, o Centro Nórdico de Saúde Sustentável reuniu empresas que trabalham com soluções sustentáveis e criou o fictício Hospital Universitário Grønnköpingkið.
