Clevaco®
The future of slabs
Circular, Code-Compliant and
made for New Zealand.
The CLEVA POD® system by CLEVACO® offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional polystyrene waffle pods. Made entirely from 100% recycled plastic, these pods are designed to perform as well or better than conventional systems while eliminating polystyrene waste and reducing environmental impact.
Fully CodeMark certified and engineered to integrate seamlessly with existing RibRaft foundations, CLEVA POD® installs easily with no special tools or additional engineering required. The system cuts on-site with built-in End Caps and Baffles, creating zero waste and saving valuable build time.
Proven lifecycle recovery through the CLEVA POD® GreenSlab™, helps bring circular design principles to New Zealand foundations – making sustainable building practical, cost-effective, and future-proof.
What we like best
It’s an engineered slab system that performs as well – or better – than polystyrene, while completely eliminating landfill waste at end of life.
Key points
Made from 100% recycled and waste plastic, diverting thousands of tons from landfill.
Eliminates environmental contaminant polystyrene.
Stackable, lightweight and easy to transport.
Fully configurable: CLEVA POD® is the only pod that can be cut at any angle, just like traditional polystyrene pods, ensuring minimal concrete infill wastage.
Uses less concrete: the CLEVA POD® system produces a foundation with a like for like volume of concrete as compared to a traditional slab.
Supports circular construction: the CLEVA POD® system is the only plastic foundation system to demonstrate the ability to recover and recycle the entire slab during demolition.
Works with standard RibRaft engineering and Firth Codemark (CMNZ70056).
Contractor friendly: the CLEVA POD® is incredibly stable with a non-slip surface and exclusion of any trip hazards like built in mesh chairs.
50-year service life with no maintenance required.
