Rockfon solutions are made from stone, one of the planet’s most abundant raw materials, but that's not all, we also upcycle old stone wool material and waste from other industries that would otherwise be sent to landfill. We do this because we believe the next generation of Rockfon solutions should sound just as good to the next generation of people.
Natural raw materials & upcycled waste
Our raw materials are the bedrock of our sustainability story. We innovatively transform basalt stone and recycled materials to create acoustic solutions that help people think, relax and enjoy life more. Now that sounds beautiful!
| Sounds good, right? |
More stone
0
The Earth produces 38,000 times more stone than we use in to make stone wool every year.
Recycled content
0
Rockfon acoustic solutions contain up to 64% recycled content with every tile containing a minimum of at least 29% recycled content. Rockfon solutions are also made of recycled stone wool.
Recycling stone wool
0
59.000 tonnes of used stone wool was collected from constumers for recycling in 2023.
An abundant natural resource
Volcanic stone is an abundant natural resource making it a more sustainable building material choice. Every year the earth produces 38,000 times more stone than we use in the entire ROCKWOOL group.
First discovered in Hawaii at the beginning of the nineteenth century, basalt stone is a natural by-product of volcanic activity that is melted and then spun into stone wool fibres.
Acoustic solutions for the circular economy
Minimising the material footprint is key to sustainable living, which is why our solutions follow the “reduce- reuse- recycle” philosophy of the circular economy.
But that’s not all, we also work to improve our ability to recycle waste from other industries, doing our part to divert the 1-2 billion tonnes of construction waste that ends up in landfill each year.
Recycling 2.0
- We upcycle waste from other industries, giving them a second life by creating products with commercial value rather than simply having them sent to landfill.
- We don’t divert any scarce resources away from other industries.
- We contribute to the circular economy.

Safety is our first building block
All ingredients in our solutions are regularly screened against BREEAM Norway A20 list and the REACH candidate list, among others, by an independent third party (Altox ltd).
Rockfon products comply with the Authorisation List– Annex XIV, the Restriction list – Annex XVII and the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list, (June 2013).
