Foldcast Sagl
Less concrete. More design.
It is a company based in Lugano (Switzerland) which, starting from the idea that concrete is a significant source of CO2 emissions and using proprietary optimization software tools, uses paper as a material for the creation of formworks (the casings inside which the casting takes place) for concrete structures.
The aim is to make them fully recyclable and reduce costs as well as to optimize the shape by exploiting the mechanical properties of paper, with a significant reduction in the quantity of concrete used.
