The construction industry has historically relied on materials and practices that are resource-intensive and environmentally taxing. Timber-based formwork, for example, has been widely used for decades but comes at a significant cost to the environment. Logging for timber contributes to deforestation and generates substantial waste when discarded after single or limited use.

Aluminium alloy formwork offers an alternative that addresses these challenges. With its durability, adaptability, and potential for recycling, this material is helping the construction sector reduce its environmental footprint while improving project efficiency. The industry can significantly contribute to global sustainability goals by investing in technologies that enable efficient recycling and reuse.

Aluminium formwork can be used multiple times, reducing the need for continuous production and cutting material waste. A single set of aluminium formwork can last up to 300 cycles compared to the 2–3 cycles of timber alternatives. This longevity lowers costs for construction companies and minimises the extraction of raw........
