Since 1972, Abstracta has been working to create better soundscapes, making us pioneers in acoustic products. Well-being is at the heart of our business, including the well-being of future generations and the planet. Sustainability is a natural part of our operations. We are accompanied on this journey by skilled suppliers and designers who take sustainability and soundscapes as seriously as we do at Abstracta.
• Reduced climate impact
• Circular materials and products
• Responsible supply chains
• We have carbon offset our emissions for 2023 in scope 1, 2, and parts of scope 3. Mapping of the remaining
parts of scope 3 is ongoing.
• A 450 kW solar power plant has been installed at our factory in Lammhult. The remaining electricity needs
are covered by 100% renewable energy sources.
• Third-party reviewed environmental product declarations (EPD) are available for the majority of our
products.
• We only purchase company cars that are electric or plug-in hybrids.
• We prioritize local suppliers, which both reduces transportation and simplifies the oversight of our supply
chains. In 2024, over 80% of the purchase volume was from Swedish suppliers within 200 km of our
factory.
• Textile waste and PET bottles are used as materials for acoustic filling. We use our own textile waste in the
dB Pillar product series.
• The majority of our products are Swedish Möbelfakta certified.
As part of our sustainability efforts, we are certified according to several standards and sustainability labels:
ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & ISO 45001
Quality, environmental, and occupational health management systems.
Swedish Möbelfakta
Swedish Möbelfakta is a reference and labeling system for furniture, including requirements for product quality, environmental impact, and social responsibility.Certified products meet sustainability requirements set by an independent third party. Additionally, requirements are continuously tightened and developed from a life cycle perspective. All our certified products can be viewed on Möbelfakta.se. We strive to certify all our products according to Möbelfakta.
As a part of the Möbelfakta label we and our suppliers need to commit to Lammhults Design Group’s Code of Conduct.

Nordic Swan Ecolabel
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is an eco-label with strict environmental requirements. The criteria promote renewable or recycled materials, ensuring that certified products generally have a lower environmental impact. It is also required that the product is not treated with hazardous chemicals and that indoor air quality is not negatively aff ected. The requirements also cover the product’s quality and its circular properties, contributing to an extended product lifespan. Our certificates are available on Svanen.se.
EPD Norway
The majority of our products have an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) published on EPD-Norge.no. An EPD is based on a life cycle analysis and covers the entire product life cycle. The environmental impact of the products can be seen in the EPDs, including carbon emissions, among many other factors. An EPD must follow international standards for each product category, enabling the comparison of our products with others.
Acoustic facts
The acoustic values of our sound-absorbing products are presented on AcousticFacts.com, where products can be compared objectively. This ensures that all technical data is accurate and meets international, European, and Swedish standards.
Waste is simply a resource in the wrong place. Thus, we treat waste material as the valuable resource it truly is. Today we are reusing material, such as textile waste and recycled plastic bottles, as acoustic filling for our products.

We collaborate with some of today’s leading designers, to give our acoustic products a timeless style, and we only use high-quality materials that ensure that our products last as long as possible.
We offer a reuse service for our customers. It involves collecting used sound absorbers and other products for renovation, reuse, or recycling. To facilitate circularity, our products consist of exchangeable parts, simplifying repair, reuse, and recycling. Contact our sales support team for more information!
Flax, hemp, and cork are natural materials that we value highly. For example, cork is a 100 % renewable material. When the cork oak has been harvested, the cork bark begins to regrow. Ten years later, it may be harvested again. Cork production occurs in harmony with nature. It helps to preserve beautiful groves of cork oaks, which in turn provide essential habitat for threatened species. Cork has excellent acoustic properties. We use it for several of our products, such as the wall panel Sahara.
Our aluminium profiles are produced only an hour away from Abstracta, by a factory in Vetlanda, whose manufacturing process has the lowest carbon dioxide emissions in their branch of industry.
As a company based in Småland, Sweden, we care for forests. It is important for us contribute to a sustainable forestry, that is beneficial for biodiversity and good for the climate. Today, we are close to our goal that all wood we use should be certified.
The standard fabrics we use for our sound absorbers and other products are free from flame retardants. Instead, we use materials that in themselves are fire retardant.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals are the basis of our environmental work. We focus on the five goals to which we can contribute most.
Goal # 3 – Good health and well-being
Goal # 5 – Gender equality
Goal # 8 – Decent work and economic growth
Goal # 12 – Responsible consumption and production
Goal # 15 – Life on land
