X-Frame – Circular Building Economy

Waste, we come across it each day in many forms. From household to commercial. As a society we have developed many ways to deal with our waste products as we use and dispose of them quickly.

In the construction industry, recycling is thought of not at the point of construction, but at the point of demolition or, the re-use of the space.

An area of high waste in the commercial world is, Office Fitouts. The average office fit-out lasts around 6 years, then removed and generally 80% of the material removed is landfill!

Imagine now, that you have your new office fit-out, and in 6 years’ time, it is decommissioned and the same parts, are reused in another site to build another fit-out!

This is X-Frame.

Manufactured by Collectiv Innovations under exclusive right here in Australia are the first examples of the X-Frame system being deployed in the new award-winning ANZ branch fit-outs across Australia.

The green credentials of X-Frame when used in a new ANZ branch are exceptional. Around 2,245 Tonnes of carbon are offset in an average fit-out, and the same branch can be resized due to its modular design technology.

Collectiv Innovations understand the simplicity of the production of X-Frame and thus, have partnered with Bedford Group to provide opportunities of employment in the production of X-Frame components.

85-90% of X-Frame components are common which assists in the reusability or ‘Circular Building’ nature of the product.
