Noise-Reducing School Panels

Dentsu Indonesia and Samsonite are working together on the 'Scholar Panel,' a new solution that helps reduce aircraft noise pollution for schools located near the Soekarno-Hatta Airport. These panels, crafted from 2 cm-thick recycled luggage panels, glass fibre-reinforced concrete board, and steel, help reduce the noise generated by aircraft by 40 dB. Since its implementation, Scholar Panel has been installed in schools serving over 2,500 students. Given the high volume of air traffic at Soekarno-Hatta, which serves as Indonesia’s busiest airport, this solution provides much-needed relief for students and teachers struggling with constant disruptions.

“At Samsonite, we believe travel should not only bring comfort but also create a positive impact. Partnering with Dentsu Creative Indonesia has allowed us to transform an often-overlooked challenge into a meaningful solution. Their expertise in concept and execution has been instrumental in bringing Scholar Panel to life," said Aldila Adininggar, senior marketing communications manager at Samsonite Indonesia.
