Innovative Use of Recycled Materials
We are thrilled to share that our Miixfelt™ acoustic panels now contain 75% post-consumer recycled content, thanks to our commitment to using sustainable materials without compromising the integrity or aesthetic of our products. This achievement has been independently certified by SCS Global Services, affirming that our panels incorporate a minimum of 75% recycled polyester staple fiber.
"Our current PET panels are made of a 50/50 mix: 50% High Melt Fiber (recycled content) and 50% Low Melt Fiber (virgin polyester). The Low Melt Fiber has a Core-Shell Structure, where the core is made of a low-melting-point material, and the shell is made of a high-melting-point material. When heated, the core melts to create bonding, while the shell provides strength and stability. Previously, both the core and shell in our 50/50 mix were made from virgin polyester. However, to improve sustainability and increase recycled content to 75%, we now use recycled material for the shell instead of virgin polyester."

Sustainable Design and Production
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond materials to every aspect of design and production. We optimise each design to minimise cutting loss, eliminate the need for glue, and facilitate recycling at the end of the product's life. Any residual material produced during manufacturing is recycled into filling for our acoustic products or repurposed as packaging, further reducing waste.
Health-Conscious Materials
Our Miixfelt™ panels are entirely free from formaldehyde binders, ensuring they are safe for both our customers and the environment. This focus on health and safety is integral to our sustainability efforts, as we strive to create products that are not only eco-friendly but also contribute to healthier indoor environments.
Future Processing and Management of PET Waste
-
We are collaborating with several UK universities to develop innovative methods for recycling PET fibre. This initiative has progressed significantly and shows promising potential. We are now seeking commercial support to further these processes, aiming to make them accessible to private companies through licensing agreements. This will help establish a circular recycling process for PET polyester fibre.
-
At Lumii, we work alongside Veolia to ensure zero waste ends up in landfills. Veolia transforms the bottom ash from our energy recovery operations into valuable construction materials, such as road bases and bricks. Metals are recovered and recycled, while the remaining ash is repurposed, contributing to waste reduction and a lower carbon footprint, all in support of a circular economy.
A Commitment to Continuous Improvement
At Lumii, we are constantly evolving our acoustic solutions to be both beautiful and sustainable, staying attuned to global trends in architecture and design. We believe that taking care of the environment is essential to our success and are committed to continually reducing our carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly practices within our industry.
