NuPod®, a sustainable waffle pod alternative developed by Neumann Steel, has been awarded the 2021 HIA Australian GreenSmart Product of the Year. NuPod® is the latest innovative product from Neumann Steel, an Australian company that has been producing reinforcing steel products for more than 50 years.

NuPod® is manufactured in Australia and has been designed to replace polystyrene waffle pods, which are the current industry standard for use in residential concrete slabs. NuPod® was awarded the 2021 HIA Australian GreenSmart Product of the Year due to its environmental benefits, as NuPod® is manufactured from recycled plastic.

NuPod® is not only a sustainable alternative to traditional polystyrene waffle pods but also has many other benefits. NuPod® has been designed to reduce concrete blowouts in the slab and can be stacked for easy storage onsite. NuPod® also allows easier installation for concreters in comparison with traditional waffle pods, as NuPod® is interlocking and has built-in spacers and chairs to reduce the number of pieces required.

The 2021 HIA Australian GreenSmart Product of the Year Award was given in recognition of NuPod®’s sustainable qualities and benefits for users, including concreters, builders and homeowners.

We are so excited to announce that NuPod® has been awarded the 2021 HIA Australian GreenSmart Product of the Year! This award was given based on its environmental benefits, including how it replaces polystyrene waffle pods.
