Vital Acoustics is a 100% biobased acoustic panel used within a track system in category B and C fit-outs. The product is a like-for-like replacement for existing compressed polyester, or mineral fibre options. Designed and produced to the highest environmental standards (LEED) and made in the UK using locally sourced materials. Our regenerative acoustic panels use hemp which is a sustainable and ecologically sound novel crop, grown in the UK. Our product celebrates the natural functional performance of the natural materials and uses no synthetic additives, using a naturally derived resin system that creates a product that is environmentally friendly and healthy for human and animal exposure as it produces no harmful VOCs or formaldehyde gases. The product has been designed to be reused, which extends the practical lifespan of the panels and at the end of life, the panels are safely compostable, thus reducing waste and harmful effects at the end of its life.

About me

I have a passion for creating regenerative products that have an overall net positive impact on ecological and human health.

My background in compliance has aided my risk-based approach to the hemp industry. I work on life cycle assessments and environmental product declarations as a means to quantify the overall impact of biogenic materials.

I enjoy the development of new products and processes that alleviate our reliance on petrochemical products and other high embodied energy solutions currently available.
