This Is How Beautiful Sustainability Can Sound

By working with Rockfon, you are getting much more than acoustic solutions. You contribute to a built environment which is more durable, more circular, and therefore more sustainable. Our core material is stone wool made from volcanic stone, one of nature's most abundant resources. As well as ensuring exceptional acoustic performance, stone wool is a highly durable material and is fully recyclable in a closed loop. Thanks to our material choices, product design, and sustainability programs, over 90% of our acoustic product sales are Cradle to Cradle Certified, reflecting our ambitions to design and make products that enable a healthy, equitable and sustainable future.
