How can nature help improve the acoustics of your space while leaving an ecological footprint? Beneath the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea lives Posidonia Oceanica, a marine plant (seagrass) that creates underwater “lungs” and sequesters more CO₂ than all rainforests. When its leaves wash ashore, they are responsibly collected and turned into a new ecological & acoustic raw material – PosiFON. This further utilizes a material that would otherwise end up in landfills, closing its life cycle. This innovative “new life cycle” shows how materials can be reused in ways that protect the environment and reduce primary waste.
What is PosiFON?
PosiFON is a series of acoustic panels made of dried posidonia leaves (seagrass) and bio-connectors. Free of mineral fibers and formaldehydes, it offers high absorption in the critical acoustic spectrum of 250-4000 Hz, reducing resonance and thus noise. Its natural, fibrous internal structure allows sound to enter the interior and be absorbed in the form of heat. Its earth tones and organic texture give a distinctive aesthetic to any room. Whether in an office, restaurant or even large public gathering spaces, PosiFON offers a serene acoustic experience.
Flexible Design & Applications
PosiFON – eco-friendly acoustic panel made of posidonia oceanica seagrass, is available in different geometries (Rec–Hexa–Petalo) and perforations that allow flexible design of your space. Whether clear conversations are required in open-plan offices, a calm atmosphere in a restaurant, or even special acoustic requirements in larger spaces, the eco-acoustic panels are easily attached to surfaces by simply using a special magnetic adhesive-glue. An alternative way of mounting is to use the special metal fitting on the back of the panel. It can also be suspended from the ceiling via stainless steel adjustable wire ropes.
Life Cycle & Sustainable Development
The modular logic of the PosiFON – Eco-friendly posidonia seagrass acoustic panel, allows repositioning or recycling at the end of use, reducing maintenance costs and unnecessary waste. PosiFON is not just an acoustic material, it is part of a larger environmental cycle. It is biodegradable, recyclable and has extremely low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions, making it ideal for projects looking to contribute to sustainability certifications such as LEED and WELL.
