London, 13th October 2023:
Structemp Innovations, the designer and worldwide trademark owner of the Buddy Range of products, has won the Environment & Sustainability award at the Construct Day 2023 awards in London. Their products, the Linear Buddy and Rebar Buddy were recognised as the most innovative and environmentally conscious solutions for temporary works in the construction industry in 2023.
The Buddy Range of products are made from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a material that is durable, reliable, recyclable and reusable. They are designed to cover exposed rebar and prevent contact injuries during construction works. They also have superior performance and durability vs alternatives, as they can withstand high temperatures, UV rays, solvents, impacts and shocks.
The awards jury praised the products for their cradle-to-cradle feature, which means that they can be recycled and used again to make more products, creating a truly circular economy. The jury also commended the products for their high visibility, good fit, easy installation & removal, and minimal environmental impact.

Shiraz Dudhia (pictured above), the founder of Structemp Innovations, said: "We are delighted to receive this award, which validates our vision of providing innovative and sustainable solutions for temporary works. We are proud of our products, which are backed by the British Design Fund. We are also grateful to our partner Selkent, one of the UK's most prestigious and longstanding construction suppliers, for distributing our products within the UK and Ireland."
The Construct Day 2023 awards is an annual event that is attended by 500+ business owners from hundreds of construction companies in the UK. The award ceremony was held on October 13, 2023 in London, United Kingdom.

Construction Site Safety Gets a Boost with the Launch of Linear Buddy

London, 1st March 2023:
Structemp Innovations, a leading provider of construction site safety equipment, has announced the launch of its latest product, the Linear Buddy. Made from thermoplastic elastomer (PTE), the Linear Buddy is a durable and flexible product designed to enhance safety on construction sites. Importantly, this innovative construction product features a cradle-to-cradle design, making it the ideal choice for sustainable building needs.

With its high-temperature resistance of up to 170°C, good low-temperature flexibility, and resistance to solvents, wear, and impact, the Linear Buddy is a versatile product suitable for a range of construction projects. Additionally, the product is certified as non-toxic to RoHS and REACH standards and is 100% recyclable at the end of it's life.

Part of the circular economy, the Linear Buddy can be removed and reused multiple times, reducing waste and promoting sustainable practices. At the end of its life, the product is 100% recyclable, minimizing its impact on the environment.
"We're thrilled to introduce the Linear Buddy to the construction industry," said Shiraz Dudhia, CEO of Structemp Innovations. "This product is a game-changer, providing construction companies with a safe, durable, and sustainable solution that enhances site safety and reduces waste. We strongly believe that the Linear Buddy and the Buddy range overall will revolutionize the way that construction sites operate, and we're excited to see the positive impact it will have on both the industry and the environment."
