Inspiration
During a vacation in Da Nang with my friends, I was impressed by how effectively the walls could block out noise—but also disappointed to learn about the environmental harm caused by conventional soundproofing materials.

That experience inspired me to gather and lead a small group of friends to develop an alternative: a safer, more eco-friendly soundproofing material that could perform just as well, if not better.
Result
After months of research, field trips to different regions to observe and collect natural resources, and countless experiments, we finally created a prototype made from dried sugarcane fiber—entirely biodegradable yet highly effective.

To test our idea and gain external feedback, I led my team to participate in the Sustainable Business Model competition organized by Vietnam National University, where we presented our concept, responded to questions from the judges, and were honored with the Most Sustainable Team Award.
