Autex Acoustics SpinFix pioneers end-of-life solutions for acoustic products, minimising their environmental footprint.

 

 

Committed to ongoing innovation and exploration of new materials and techniques, Autex Acoustics has harnessed their advanced pelletising process to create SpinFix, a mounting clip for acoustic panels. Through a cutting-edge approach ‘waste’ from manufacturing offcuts is converted into RePET, a plastic pellet, which is then used as a raw material to produce accessories like SpinFix. SpinFix eliminates the need for adhesives during installation.

 

 

Sam Wells, Product Development Lead, is enthusiastic about the strides made with SpinFix and the accomplishments in circularity. “Improving the end-of-life journey for our materials was top of mind when designing SpinFix, providing us with another avenue to explore applications of  RePET, giving acoustic panels yet another life. Our friction welding technology binds the 100% PET clips to the panels without the use of glue. This means everything remains 100% polyester and can be recycled again at the end of life. Without compromising the performance or usability of the original product, we’ve ended up with an extremely versatile technology, which we will explore and develop even further in the future.”

Autex Acoustics takes a holistic view of product lifecycles, emphasizing sustainable materials and design practices. SpinFix is engineered for easy disassembly, facilitating the repurposing or recycling of panels by eliminating contamination typically associated with installation. SpinFix exemplifies Autex Acoustics’ commitment to sustainability through mindful material selection and lifecycle-centric design.
