CUPOLEX
100% Recycled Void Forming Solution

Cupolex offers a sustainable and innovative alternative to traditional styrene void formers, commonly known as wafflepod. Made from 100% recycled polypropylene, Cupolex helps reduce waste, supports the principles of the circular economy, and provides a strong, sustainable solution for concrete slabs and foundations. As the construction industry moves toward more sustainable practices, Cupolex stands out as the future of efficient, environmentally-conscious building.

Advantages of Cupolex:

Cupolex offers a wide range of advantages over traditional styrene-based products like wafflepods:

• Sustainable Alternative: 100% recycled polypropylene means no styrene, no long-term pollution, and no landfill waste.

• Cost Neutral Solution: Despite its sustainable benefits, Cupolex remains a cost-effective alternative, aligning with project budgets while delivering enhanced sustainability outcomes.

• Reduction in Concrete Usage: The innovative dome structure minimises the amount of concrete needed, cutting costs and reducing embodied carbon.

• Faster Installation: The modular design of Cupolex allows for quick and easy installation, reducing labour time and costs.

• Efficient Site Management: Cupolex packs neatly into compact pallets, significantly reducing on-site storage space and eliminating the issue of large, fragile styrene blocks blowing around.
• Circular Economy Friendly: At the end of its life, Cupolex products can be fully recycled along with all of the concrete as it has not been contaminated with styrene. 

Why Cupolex is a Sustainable Alternative to Wafflepod:

In recent years, polystyrene void formers (wafflepods) have been increasingly recognised as a significant environmental issue. These products often break apart during installation, polluting local environments and waterways. As styrene products take over 500 years to decompose, their impact on the environment is catastrophic, especially considering they contribute significantly to landfill waste and cannot be recycled after demolition.

Cupolex, in contrast, is made from 100% recycled polypropylene, utilising plastics that are traditionally hard to recycle, which makes it an responsible alternative. By transforming these challenging materials into durable void formers, Cupolex not only reduces landfill waste but also supports the circular economy by giving new life to plastics that would otherwise pose environmental hazards. Furthermore, Cupolex ensures that concrete foundations formed using this method can be fully recycled at the end of their life, with no contamination of materials.

This makes Cupolex the ideal solution for builders looking to support sustainable practices, reduce their carbon footprint, and help keep traditionally unrecyclable plastics out of the waste stream.
