Foldcast SlabX. Paper formworks for optimized concrete elements
Campaign: Digital Fabrication with Additive Manufacturing – Key for Innovation in Construction
Concrete is by far the most used material in the construction industry, and its global use is only going to increase in the next decades. However, it has also a significant environmental impact: 8% of global CO2 emissions come from the cement industry alone.
How can we reduce the carbon footprint of concrete structures?
By combining structural optimization, recyclabe paper formwork and a concrete mix with 50% recycled aggregates, the Foldcast SlabX can reduce by 40% the embodied carbon of a concrete slab element.
