Foldcast

Foldcast develops recyclable paper moulds for concrete construction, replacing traditional single-use formwork. Before pouring concrete, the paper mould is placed and fixed according to the design shape; after hardening, the mould can be recycled. The technology aims to reduce concrete usage and construction waste; specific workflow and deliverables still need verification.

Why this would be needed

Start inside the user's day · Public facts + workflow reasoning · 2026-09-01

Use case

Before pouring concrete, construction teams need to set up formwork; traditional formwork is often wood or steel, which is costly to dispose of or recycle after use.

Currently using wood, steel, or aluminum formwork, with limited reuse cycles and difficult recycling after disposal.

Traditional formwork materials are costly, disposal pollutes the environment, and setup and removal are time-consuming and labor-intensive.
