Produced within Nurus’ 95% vertically integrated production base, Calma acoustic spaces are designed and manufactured with a steadfast commitment to people, planet, and performance. From concept to completion, each Calma pod embodies a philosophy that balances aesthetic integrity with environmental responsibility. Every detail from the materials used to the energy that powers production reflects a belief that great design should leave a positive impact, not a footprint. #### **Sustainability, Designed In** Calma pods are layered with Basotect® G+, a high-performance acoustic material that enhances soundproofing while supporting superior indoor air quality. Each surface is finished using HDF Powder Coating Technology, an industry-leading process that ensures durability with minimal environmental impact and low VOC levels — protecting both people and the spaces they inhabit. This considered approach extends through every stage of production, guided by[Nurus](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/brand/nurus/)’ Circular Economy and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) principles. From sourcing raw materials to end-of-life design, Calma products are created to last, be reused, and be responsibly recycled. ## **Sustainable Materials, Thoughtful Design** Sustainability in Calma begins with the materials themselves. Every component is carefully chosen to promote durability, wellbeing, and environmental responsibility ensuring that what feels good also *does good*. #### **Eco-Friendly Fabrics** Each Calma pod is upholstered with high-quality, sustainable fabrics certified by OEKO-TEX® and EU Eco Recycled PET standards. These textiles combine refined aesthetics with environmental mindfulness, providing long-lasting performance while supporting responsible material cycles. #### **Recycled Felt Wall Coverings** Inside, felt wall coverings made from recycled materials contribute to better indoor air quality and enhance Calma’s acoustic comfort. These surfaces do more than absorb sound they embody the commitment to reducing waste and reimagining materials through sustainable innovation. #### **Basotect® G+ Acoustic Layer** At the heart of Calma’s soundproofing lies Basotect® G+, a lightweight, high-performance material known for its exceptional acoustic absorption and eco-friendly composition. Its use ensures a superior acoustic performance with a lower environmental footprint  aligning perfectly with Calma’s mission to blend comfort with consciousness. #### **HDF Powder Coating Technology** Calma’s outer shell is finished with HDF Powder Coating Technology, offering durability with minimal environmental impact. This innovative coating system maintains healthy VOC levels for indoor air quality and features a closed-loop process that reuses paint waste, exemplifying circular production principles. Together, these elements represent more than material choices — they reflect a philosophy of designing responsibly. Every texture, surface, and finish in Calma contributes to creating spaces that are healthier for people and lighter on the planet. ### **Transparency and Responsibility** Through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Calma provides full transparency on carbon footprint, energy use, and material composition. This measurable accountability ensures every design decision contributes to continuous improvement and reduced environmental impact.  ### **Powered by Clean Energy** Inside Nurus’ headquarters, sustainability is built into the infrastructure itself. - 70% of total energy is generated from renewable sources, including a large rooftop solar power plant. - The facility operates with 95% vertical integration, reducing reliance on external processes and minimizing transport emissions. - In one year alone, the company recycled 235 tons of metal, 53 tons of packaging, 20 tons of polypropylene, and recovered 372 tons of wood. Every process is optimized not only for performance but for responsibility, ensuring that Calma’s sustainability promise extends well beyond the product itself. ### **People, Progress, and Purpose** Sustainability also means investing in people. Over 55% of Nurus’ management team are women, and the company continues to grow with an emphasis on equality, innovation, and education. With **38** engineers dedicated to R&D and a community of 500 people, Nurus drives progress through collaboration and care. From design awards to carbon reduction milestones — including a 24.51% drop in CO₂ emissions from 2022 to 2023**.** Calma and Nurus demonstrate that sustainability can be both measurable and meaningful. ### **Sustainability that Feels Like Calma** Delivered in 100% recyclable cardboard crates, Calma pods are the result of an ecosystem built on responsibility, transparency, and vision.     For Nurus, sustainability is the starting point for every product, every process, and every idea. And with Calma, that vision takes shape in spaces that support how we work, think, and live — beautifully, quietly, and sustainably.    [View full post](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/calma-by-nurus-sustainability-at-the-core-of-every-space) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Innerspace" }, "dateModified" : "2025-10-23T07:45:04.614Z", "datePublished" : "2025-10-23T07:45:04Z", "headline" : "Calma by Nurus: Sustainability at the Core of Every Space", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 1000, "url" : "https://6002092.fs1.hubspotusercontent-ap1.net/hubfs/6002092/Blog%20Featured%20Images%202000x1000%20%285%29.png", "width" : 2000 }, "mainEntityOfPage" : "https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/calma-by-nurus-sustainability-at-the-core-of-every-space", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 60, "url" : "/hs/hsstatic/content_shared_assets/static-1.4092/img/default-amp-logo.png", "width" : 60 }, "name" : "Innerspace Journal" } } ```
