Autex Acoustics repurposes industrial plastic waste with SpinFix range

Autex Acoustics has developed an adhesive-free mounting system for its acoustic panels using manufacturing waste, as shown in this video produced by Dezeen for the brand.

Autex Acoustics has developed a series of recycled clips and fastenings used for mounting acoustic sound panels, which were debuted at the brand's showroom during this year's London Design Festival.



Autex Acoustics gas launched its SpinFix range

Called SpinFix, the mounting system was designed to eliminate the use of adhesives, which enable the panels to be more easily repurposed or recycled at the end of their life cycle.

Without adhesives, the acoustic panels can be dismounted and disassembled without causing damage.

The SpinFix clips are made from RePET, a recycled material made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is created by recycling the leftover waste from Autex Acoustics' manufacturing processes.

SpinFix works using a mechanism that binds the clips to the panels without glue, enabling them to be easily recycled.

The brand also displayed its Grid Ceiling Tiles and Groove collection in its showroom during London Design Festival.

Grid Ceiling tiles are an adhesive-free acoustic solution for traditional ceiling grid systems. Each customisable tile is made from at least 60 per cent post-consumer recycled content.

Groove is a customisable lightweight ceiling and wall panel system that uses geometric angular ridges to distort and bend light. The panels, which feature a self-adhesive backing for easy installation, can be tailored with various pattern options.

Dezeen teamed up with Autex Acoustics during London Design Festival to host a talk on innovative approaches in product design.

The talk was hosted by Dezeen's design and environment editor Jennifer Hahn and took place at One Hundred Shoreditch in London.

The panel featured London designer Jan Hendzel, Gensler design director Megan Dobstaff and Autex Acoustics consultant Abby Gottermeyer. The speakers shared their perspectives on how to bring together creativity and sustainability when designing.

Autex Acoustics was founded in 1967 and creates sound-dampening acoustic products for offices and mixed-use interiors.
