DECORATIVE ECO BOARDS AND ACOUSTIC PANELS
sustainable, non-toxic, & biodegradable solutions for eco-friendly design
decorative eco-boards and acoustic panels were created to provide healthier, environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional building materials. developed in collaboration with strato homes, this project explores non-toxic, recyclable, and biodegradable solutions for construction and interior design
the idea arose from concerns over the widespread use of formaldehyde-based adhesives in particleboards and MDF, which release harmful emissions over time. with a focus on circular design and sustainable architecture, austeja platukyte embarked on a research journey to develop bio-based binders that could replace toxic adhesives while maintaining strength, durability, and functionality
after months of experimentation, she successfully developed formaldehyde-free, non-toxic eco-binders, which were applied to natural fillers such as sawdust, buckwheat hulls, hemp stems, and husks. These materials are lightweight, sound-absorbing, and fully biodegradable, providing a safe and renewable alternative for various applications
material properties & uses:
-
sustainable & non-toxic – free from harmful chemicals, safe for indoor use
-
recyclable & compostable – supporting circular economy principles
-
acoustic & insulating – reducing noise pollution and enhancing comfort
-
durable & lightweight – Ideal for architecture and design applications
eco-boards offer a sustainable alternative to wood particleboard and MDF, perfect for furniture, cabinetry, wall coverings, and decorative surfaces. they provide durability and aesthetic appeal while minimizing ecological impact
acoustic panels are designed for soundproofing and insulation, making them perfect for residential, commercial, and public spaces. their lightweight and sound-absorbing properties improve acoustic comfort while maintaining sustainability
currently in the testing phase, these materials are designed to be scalable and commercially viable, paving the way for eco-friendly homes, sustainable interiors, and innovative product design. austeja is eager to collaborate with industry professionals to further develop and refine these materials for broader applications.
