watch the webinar with Oscar Acoustics MD, Ben Hancock
On September 30th, 2025, Oscar Acoustics’ Managing Director Ben Hancock joined a panel of thought leaders in Architecture Today’s highly anticipated webinar, Beyond Carbon, exploring how architects are applying new methods, materials, and measures to deliver sustainable and regenerative design.
In a session that drew hundreds of architects, designers, and developers, Ben shared his insights on how the use of SonaSpray acoustic spray not only significantly improves user comfort but can effectively lowers the carbon footprint of a building project by sequestering rich stores of carbon for the life of the structure or application.
As sustainability and occupant wellbeing become the defining standards of modern architecture, Oscar Acoustics’ SonaSpray range of architectural acoustic finishes stands at the forefront of innovation. SonaSpray seamlessly blends acoustic comfort with interior design, while its impressive environmental credentials make it the perfect choice for projects aiming to meet rigorous standards and certification targets.
Watch Ben’s presentation now to discover how to create buildings that are both planet and people positive.
