Concrete is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, yet up to 50% of it is wasted in buildings due to inefficient mould design. Conventional moulds in wood or metal are costly and lack design flexibility, making it challenging to optimize structural elements and reduce material use.
Foldcast is the USI spin-off offering sustainable concrete building elements made with innovative PAPER moulds. Our catalogue features solutions for floors, stairs, façades, and more, reducing concrete use, lowering CO2 emissions, and enhancing architectural design. We are a team of architects, engineers, and entrepreneurs committed at disrupting the $400 billion concrete market, focusing on office, school, residential, and retail buildings across Europe, North America, Middle East, and East Asia.
