Bravo, DiN Akustik: First EPDs Land

What just went live

DiN Akustik has published its first‑ever EPD for Mollis, a sound‑absorbent wall panel family used in schools, offices, sports halls, public buildings, and restaurants. It reads as a product‑family declaration rather than a single SKU, which helps specifiers cover size variants without chasing multiple PDFs. Issue month is August 2025 with validity through 2030.

Operator and rulebook

The declaration is issued by EPD Hub, a program operator aligned to ISO 14025 and EN 15804. For manufacturers, that alignment means apples‑to‑apples comparisons with other construction products and smoother use in building LCAs.

What the product covers

Mollis panels are PET‑based absorbers with velour and fabric finishes that mount to walls for quick reverberation control. The EPD positions them squarely in interior acoustic finishes, which is where spec teams often need product‑specific data to avoid generic penalties in project carbon accounting.

Why this matters now

Architects and GCs increasingly expect third‑party verified EPDs for interior finishes. A product‑specific EPD replaces conservative defaults with measured impacts, reduces back‑and‑forth during submittals, and keeps the product in play when low‑carbon targets apply. It also means sales does not have to sit out projects that filter for EPD‑backed options.

Competitive snapshot

• Autex Acoustics has multiple current EPDs for PET acoustic wall products across its Composition, Symphony and Workstation lines under Global GreenTag. That is established coverage in the same material family.
• Rockfon shows a broad set of current EPDs for stone‑wool ceiling and wall solutions across Europe and North America, including family declarations that mirror how systems are specified.
• Saint‑Gobain Ecophon lists an extensive library of current EPDs for acoustical ceilings and wall panels across several plants, which sets a high bar on portfolio breadth.

Set against that field, DiN Akustik has entered the game with a focused wall‑panel family EPD. It catches up to established players on transparency for this use case and puts Mollis into more shortlists where verified data is a gate, not a nice‑to‑have.

Spec and market relevance at a glance

• Category fit: interior acoustic wall panels for education, office, sport and hospitality spaces, where reverberation time and speech clarity drive product choice.
• EPD scope: product family coverage helps designers vary sizes and layouts without juggling multiple declarations.
• Program operator: EPD Hub, recognized across European markets, which aids cross‑border specification.

Website visibility check

We looked for these EPDs on the manufacturer’s website and could not locate a public sustainability or downloads page listing them at time of writing. Visibility matters because specifiers often grab links straight from product pages. Adding an easily found EPD link in the Mollis section and a central EPD library would be a quick win for sales and AEC teams. It definately reduces friction when submittals start flying.

What to watch next

If additional product families follow this first wave, DiN Akustik can cover more acoustic use cases without gaps in documentation. That turns transparency into a durable commercial asset rather than a one‑off PDF.
