Digital material passports - SonaSpray

An acoustic spray made from fire-treated, recycled paper and other rapidly renewable natural resources.

SonaSpray can effectively lower the carbon footprint of the building project by sequestering rich stores of carbon for the life of the structure or application. The seamless spray finish follows the lines of whatever is underneath and It can be applied directly onto most substrates. The range comes in a variety of different textures and colours to suit any interior design.

Installed by ISO 14001 certified in-house operatives, SonaSpray contributes towards many sustainable design and health certification systems. This includes BREEAM, SKA, Living Building Challenge and adds up to 17 points towards the LEED rating of a project.

What is a digital material passport?

A material passport is a digital document listing all the materials that are included in a product or construction during its life cycle in order to facilitate circularity decisions in supply chain management at the end of the building life.

At Cundall, we want to create a passport to materials/products that will also provide information before its use so designers and contractors are capable of making conscious decisions of products that could affect the embodied carbon and health well-being of a project, facilitating the inclusion of the best low carbon and/ healthy materials that align with their design.
