Sourced in Australia
At Verbox, we’re committed to sustainability and supporting the local economy. That’s why all our raw materials are sourced from Australian wholesalers. While imported materials can sometimes be cheaper, we believe the benefits of buying local far outweigh the cost. It allows us to reduce environmental impact, maintain faster turnaround times, and ensure consistently high-quality products for our customers.
Origins
As part of our commitment to supporting the Australian economy, all of our materials are purchased from local businesses. However, due to factors like affordability and availability, not every material is manufactured locally. Our products are built using four core materials: Plywood (used in frames and diffusers), MDF (used in frames), Polyester insulation (used as the core sound absorber) and Acoustic fabric (used for panel coverings).
Detailed Information
Plywood: Sourced from an Australian supplier, manufactured overseas. FSC certified for sustainable forestry practices.
MDF: Both sourced and manufactured in Australia. FSC certified.
Insulation: Manufactured locally from mostly recycled plastic. Some raw materials may be sourced internationally.
Acoustic Fabric: Sourced through Australian suppliers. Some fabrics are made locally, while others are produced overseas.
Reuse and Recycle
We prioritise efficient design and minimal waste over profit. Offcuts and excess materials are reused wherever possible—whether that’s fabric repurposed by local makers into bags or sawdust donated for use in kilns. What can’t be reused is recycled through the proper channels, helping reduce the amount sent to landfill.
Sustainability
Our panels are built to last a lifetime with proper care. They’re crafted to high standards using premium materials, and designed with simplicity, longevity, and value in mind—so you get a product that performs exceptionally, while supporting a more sustainable future.
Safe to use
Your health and safety are just as important to us as performance. That’s why all Verbox materials are non-toxic, carry an E0 rating (meaning zero harmful emissions), and are completely safe for use in any environment—from small recording studios to busy public venues.
Unlike many acoustic panels on the market that use materials like glass wool or rockwool—which can release airborne fibres and unpleasant odours—our panels feature a polyester insulation core. This material emits no odours, produces no breathable fibres, and is 100% allergy-safe. It’s one of the safest acoustic solutions available today.
