Paper-Based Moulds for Concrete Construction
The use of concrete as a building material is responsible for 10% of global CO2 emissions. As the demand for new construction grows, we need to find ways to reduce the global use of concrete now. Foldcast combines software and digital machines to design and produce paper moulds for concrete casting. After the hardening time, the paper can be removed and reused or fully recycled. Foldcast’s building elements use up to 50% less concrete, while offering the same or greater structural resistance. This translates to a 40% reduction of the carbon footprint, lower construction cost, shorter construction time, and less waste.
