Selection of 8 material alternatives for the manufacture of a sound-absorbing screen with minimal environmental impact and that meets the established design criteria.

 

The results are grouped in a Material Box with the physical samples, technical tables descriptive of properties, environmental impact and associated manufacturing methods.

 

Finally, the 3 most effective options have been developed and prototyped: medium-hard rPET felt, thermoformable hemp and molded recycled cork.
