Soundbounce

Pelotas de tenis recicladas, diseño acústico innovador

Ganador de la Categoria Espacio de Trabajo

El tenis es uno de los cinco deportes más contaminantes del mundo, debido al largo proceso de fabricación, intensivo en carbono, de las pelotas de tenis y a su corta vida útil. Sólo se recicla el 1% de los 400 millones de pelotas que se producen anualmente, por lo que la mayoría acaban en los vertederos, lo que supone un importante despilfarro y el agotamiento de los recursos. Soundbounce aborda este problema reutilizando pelotas de tenis desechadas en materiales modulares circulares para separadores acústicos, paneles de pared y muebles. Este enfoque innovador recicla 283 pelotas por metro cuadrado y reduce las emisiones de CO2 en aproximadamente 8,5 kg por metro cuadrado.

Jury Statement: Soundbounce is pleasing sensorially in sound, sight and touch, and is powerfully researched for reduction in emissions, reuse of materials, and new use of structures. The furniture is remarkably comfortable. The paneling is visually interesting, not distracting, surprisingly refined and as sound-dampening as promised. Soundbounce is a beautifully precise solution for a specific circular economy problem.
