Création Baumann launches absorber plates made from residual textiles

(CONNECT) Création Baumann is expanding its ACOUSTIC WALL COVER and ACOUSTIC ROOM DIVIDER range of acoustic panel systems with absorber panels made from residual textiles. The interior textile designer from Langenthal has spent years developing a process for the recycling of pre-consumer textiles and production waste, as Création Baumann has reported in a press release. With ABSORBER RECYCLED, the company is offering a circular solution for controlling background noise.

The textile waste collected by Création Baumann from its own production processes is pressed into panels that are cut to size in the factory in Langenthal. ABSORBER RECYCLED can be purchased in two panel thicknesses with different levels of absorption. In addition to their effectiveness as noise insulation, Création Baumann highlights the optical appeal of the panels within a space. Their textile structure gives the panels a “lively, authentic aesthetic”. In addition, each panel boasts a unique color composition.

“The journey to creating to a functioning, pure recycling process was technologically challenging,” CEO Philippe Baumann said in an interview within the press release. A particular challenge noted by the company boss was the development of a process for collecting, identifying and sorting the Trecira CS residual textiles and shredding them down to fiber size. “The combination with melt bonding fibers and subsequent compression process to create stable, acoustically effective panels required many tests and adjustments until the result met our high standards of quality, durability and design,” explains Baumann. ce/hs
