Ecophon obtient la certification Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze dans sa version 4.0
Ecophon réduit davantage l'empreinte de ses systèmes acoustiques et améliore la transparence de ses produits. En obtenant la certification Cradle to Cradle Certified® (C2C Certified) Version 4.0 au niveau Bronze, Ecophon a démontré des performances exceptionnelles dans cinq catégories de durabilité : Or en circularité des produits, Argent en santé des matériaux, Air propre & Protection du climat, Gestion de l'eau & du sol, et Bronze en Équité sociale.
Être l'une des premières entreprises à obtenir la certification Version 4.0 plus stricte pour leurs produits est une réalisation marquante qui positionne Ecophon à l'avant-garde de la conception acoustique durable, combinant responsabilité environnementale et sociale avec la santé des matériaux et la qualité. Les panneaux légers en laine de verre sont partiellement fabriqués à partir de verre recyclé un service de recyclage primé, disponible en Suède, en Finlande, au Danemark, en Allemagne et en France.
Selecting products that adhere to C2C-principles ensures materials are safe for humans and the environment, compliant with regulations, and benefit property value. Receiving a Silver® C2C Certified Material Health Certificate™ for glass wool products produced in the Nordics underscores Ecophon’s commitment to chemical safety and low emissions, a well-known property of their glass wool ranges. Material health is especially important for the indoor climate in spaces like offices, schools, and healthcare facilities. The certification will replace Ecophon's work with Health Product Declarations (HPDs) in relevant regions, offering a more comprehensive assessment of the sustainability and health impact of their products.
“We are honored to break new ground in achieving Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze under the more stringent Version 4.0 criteria. This is a recognition of our holistic approach to sustainability and our long history of using safe ingredients and recycled content in our products. We are proud not to rely on carbon offsets to reach net-zero, but rather have a long-term sustainable business model through transparency and innovation”, says Ola Karlsson, R&D and Innovation Director, at Saint-Gobain Ecophon.
The Cradle to Cradle Certified® framework is globally recognised for its rigorous assessment of products across sustainability dimensions such as health, circularity, and responsible manufacturing. Aligned with leading Green Building Certifications like LEED and WELL, Cradle to Cradle Certified® is externally verified by a third party and requires re-certification every three years.
The Cradle to Cradle Certified® Version 4.0 certification covers Ecophon’s glass wool ceiling production sites in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.
