Acoustic brands live or die on spec visibility. With its debut Environmental Product Declarations, Akuart just made its numbers findable by the people who decide what gets installed. Here’s what went live, who already competes with EPDs in this category, and why this moment resets the shortlist math for fit‑out projects.

What just went live

Akuart has published its first‑ever Environmental Product Declarations in July 2025, covering two models in its Supersonic Wall Panel line. The declarations list “R75” and “R100” versions that reflect frame options within the same acoustic wall panel family, not a one‑off prototype. They were issued by the program operator EPD Hub and reference the operator’s core PCR for construction products. Scope reads product‑specific and squarely in acoustic wall panels, the heart of Akuart’s portfolio.

Why this matters for specs now

In offices, schools, and cultural spaces, acoustic wall panels sit on the critical path. Buyers increasingly ask for a verified EPD so they can model embodied carbon without using punitive defaults. Showing real numbers keeps Akuart in play on projects that would otherwise lean toward brands with published data. It also helps sales teams defend premium positioning on design, performance, and service instead of racing to the bottom on price alone.

Quick company snapshot

Akuart designs interior acoustic solutions with a Scandinavian aesthetic, including wall panels, screens, and room dividers for commercial interiors. The Supersonic range pairs PET absorbers with visible aluminium frames and a changeable textile canvas, making it a natural fit for high‑design workspaces and hospitality. That’s exactly where EPDs show up on submittal checklists.

The fine print specifiers care about

– Two product‑specific EPDs for Supersonic Wall Panel models R75 and R100. – Issued July 2025 by EPD Hub, using a cross‑category PCR aligned to EN 15804. – Category coverage is acoustic wall panels, consistent with Akuart’s core use cases.

Competitive lens in the acoustic panel set

Autex Acoustics publishes current product‑specific EPDs for PET acoustic panels and tiles through Global GreenTag, which means project teams already find comparable wall panel declarations in that library. Acoufelt has active EPDs that cover wall and ceiling acoustic systems under BRE/Global GreenTag. Rockfon and Ecophon focus more on ceiling systems yet list product‑specific EPDs for acoustic solutions across major European operators, useful when wall and ceiling lines are evaluated together. Translation for bids. Akuart has entered a field where leading brands already use EPDs as table stakes, so the gap is closed and the brand can compete on design and service with enviromental data to match.

What the debut signals

– Visibility: Akuart’s data is now searchable alongside entrenched acoustic names, which reduces friction in early‑phase screening and model baselines. – Portfolio strategy: Starting with the flagship wall panel family makes sense. It captures the most spec volume and creates a repeatable template for additional SKUs. – Program operator choice: EPD Hub’s digital cadence favors speed from draft to publish, which aligns with fast‑moving interiors work where timelines compress.

Where to find the files

Akuart lists the declarations on its sustainability page with a direct download link for the Supersonic Wall Panel EPDs. That is exactly where specifiers look first on a manufacturer site, so bravo on placement. Link for teams: Akuart Sustainability. If anything, mirror the same links on each Supersonic Wall Panel product page to reduce clicks from the product detail to the EPD download.

Takeaway for product leaders

This is a clean entrance into the transparency arena. Two EPDs on the core wall panel family create immediate spec relevance, neutralize a key competitive edge from Autex and Acoufelt, and set up a scalable path for screens and suspended panels next. Keep the momentum by extending coverage to the next two highest‑volume lines and by keeping EPD download links front‑and‑center on product pages. That’s how the numbers work for you in every shortlist.
