While we’re still waiting for spring to arrive and the Leeds sky continues to look a little grey, it can be hard to imagine how you can brighten up your walls to make a more welcoming interior.

But what if we told you that there was a way to make your space look perfect, whilst also helping achieve your sustainability goals? 

Introducing… Imageco’s sustainable wallpaper.

Sustainable Wallpaper Solutions With PONGS AKUSTICO® Newlife FR

Here at Imageco, we believe that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice the earth in order to create a beautiful interior. That’s why we only use sustainable materials when creating our wide format print solutions. But when traditional wallpaper remains unrecyclable due to its plastic content and wall paint continues to contain toxic solvents that leach into the atmosphere long past its application, how do we ensure that our interiors remain green? 

PONGS AKUSTICO® NewLife is a new top of the line wide format print material that doesn’t sacrifice sustainability for quality. Made from 100% recycled plastic bottles AKUSTICO® NewLife FR is produced using a mechanical not chemical manufacturing process that not only produces a PVC-free recyclable product but also creates significantly less CO2 emissions than your traditional wallpapers. Pair this with Imageco’s carbon neutral promise and you’re onto an eco-friendly winner. 

Oh, and did we mention that it’s flame retardant, durable, and noise cancelling? Pretty cool right?

Keeping Things Cool 

Some spaces need specialist interiors in order to make them fit for purpose, and that includes having wallpaper that fits the bill. Not only does PONGS AKUSTICO® NewLife FR help you achieve your sustainability goals but its composition means that it’s permanently flame retardant which makes it ideal for any space that experiences high heat or open flames. 

Take for example, a restaurant that features an open kitchen. As staff rush around cooking delicious meals on open top flames in full view of drooling customers, the last thing they want to be worrying about is if the food is going to set the walls alight. By using PONGS AKUSTICO® NewLife FR instead of traditional wallpaper, which is often made of plant cellulose fibres or synthetic polymers that make it highly flammable, staff can minimise the chance of uncontrollable flames in a high-risk area. 

Standing The Test Of Time

When redecorating, it’s important for your interior to stand the test of time and keep looking brand new despite what life throws at it. But in environments that see high footfall and need to be constantly disinfected in order to maintain hygiene, keeping designs looking fresh is a big ask. 

Thankfully Imageco’s sustainable wallpaper offers a solution. As PONGS AKUSTICO® NewLife is made from recycled water bottles woven into a fabric like structure, any wide format print design can be fully wiped down and disinfected.

Its durable nature means it can withstand even the most brutal jet washing. Making it perfect for high pressure environments such as schools and hospitals. Giving you all the benefits of plastic with none of the unsustainable ramifications.
