Modern formwork systems responsibly employ energy efficiency and use green technology. 

Explaining the advantages of innovations in plastic formworks, Vikas Mittal, CEO of NOVA Formworks, highlights the organisation’s contribution to sustainable construction practices.

How have innovations in scaffolding and formwork structures contributed to more sustainable and cost-effective projects?

Innovative scaffolding and formwork structures and products effectively address the complexities of construction processes, resulting in improved cost control, streamlined schedules, and enhanced quality. They offer a comprehensive and affordable solution for all construction projects, ensuring swiftness, worker safety, and high-quality outcomes. Sustainable scaffolding practices focus on resource efficiency and optimisation, leading to increased productivity and long-term profitability. Leading the way in plastic and aluminium formworks, NOVA contributes to a greener planet by maximising installation efficiency, reducing risks, and saving costs.

How have recycling abilities in modern scaffolding and formwork systems reduced waste and environmental impact?

With continuous improvement in sustainable development, innovative processes and methods are used to reduce waste and increase profits through salvage, reuse, and construction waste recycling. Once the formwork systems reach saturation to their use, reusing and recycling materials come into focus. Reuse requires fewer resources, less energy, and less labour than recycling, disposal, or manufacturing new products from virgin materials. Plastic formworks can be used and reused over 100 times for various construction requirements and again can be further recycled into new useful products. Reuse provides an excellent, environmentally-preferred alternative to other waste management methods. Reusing and recycling is a preferred sustainable 

How do sustainable scaffolding and formwork solutions help achieve green building certifications and meet sustainability goals?

Using sustainable formworks in all construction projects helps reduce the negative impact on the environment, helping to reduce the consumption of energy, water and other resources and minimising pollution and incorporating recycling systems, using sustainable materials and saving as many resources as possible during construction. We are at the forefront of this effort, with products designed to minimise waste and energy consumption while maximising efficiency and durability. Our formwork systems are made from sustainable materials and can be reused for various projects. Further, they can be recycled after their serviceable lifecycle comes into existence. 

How do advancements in materials and design contribute to overall sustainability?

Modern formwork systems responsibly employ energy efficiency and take advantage of green technology. With new advancements in construction and technology, we can now recycle plastic to create building materials, such as plastic panel formworks that cut down on waste in landfills, waterways and other polluted areas. Because of their durability and resilience, plastic and reusable formwork may be excellent choices in such circumstances making your structure more suited for the environment and more functional and productive. 

What measures are being taken to ensure that recyclability and sustainability are prioritised in the production and lifecycle of scaffolding and formwork materials?

Designing formwork systems to support adaptation, disassembly and reuse can reduce waste and extend its useful life, providing economic and environmental benefits for builders & construction houses. This practice allows panels to be quickly, cost-effectively, rapidly removed, and directed for further reuse. Strategies to ensure sustainability during production include zero waste, integrated recycling, international approaches, reuse of materials, resource optimisation & waste reduction.

How do scaffolding and formwork manufacturers address the balance between affordability and sustainability?

The financial outlay to enable change can often deter business owners from making adaptations, and when it comes to sustainability, costs play a large role in the decision-making process. Manufacturers of formwork systems focus on materials that support sustainability along with affordability. Reuse and recycling are the main focus, along with more factors that include cost, economic factors, social factors and environmental factors. An understanding that a strategy for saving time and materials can lead to higher profitability and the good feeling of not creating unnecessary waste can feed the sustainability thrive.
