London, UK – 5 June 2025 – The Environmental Industries Association (EIA), the leading voice for the UK’s environmental services technology and services sector, is proud to announce the formation of a new Environmental Noise Working Group. This initiative underscores the EIA’s commitment to addressing the growing challenges and opportunities surrounding environmental noise pollution across the UK.
The Environmental Noise Working Group will bring together experts from industry, academia, and government to explore innovative solutions, influence policy, and promote best practices in noise measurement, assessment, mitigation, and regulation. With urbanisation, infrastructure development, and transportation networks expanding rapidly, the need for coordinated action on environmental noise has never been more urgent.
Key objectives of the working group include:
- Policy Engagement: Collaborating with regulators and policymakers to shape effective noise control legislation and standards.
- Innovation and Technology: Promoting the adoption of cutting-edge noise management, assessment and abatement technologies.
- Public Awareness: Raising awareness of the health and environmental impacts of noise pollution.
- Industry Collaboration: Creating a platform for EIA members to share knowledge, case studies, and technical expertise.
Giles Parker, Sound Barrier Solutions who has offered to chair the working group said “We are excited to launch this new working group at a time when environmental noise is gaining recognition as a critical public health and environmental issue,” at the EIA. “This group will play a vital role in ensuring that the UK remains at the forefront of sustainable and responsible environmental management.”
The Environmental Noise Working Group will hold its inaugural meeting in next month, with participation open to all EIA members and invited guests and stakeholders.
