Claims (20)

1. 1 . A consumable for use with an aerosol provision system, the consumable comprising a section formed from a rolled corrugated sheet material, wherein a surface of one or more of the corrugations of the rolled corrugated sheet material abuts a corresponding surface of an adjacent corrugation.
2. 2 . A consumable according to claim 1 wherein each corrugation of the corrugated sheet material is defined between adjacent concave folds of the extended corrugated sheet material.
3. 3 . A consumable according to claim 2 , wherein each corrugation of the corrugated sheet material comprises a polygonal cross section.
4. 4 . A consumable according to claim 2 , wherein each corrugation of the corrugated sheet material comprises a curved cross section.
5. 5 . A consumable according to claim 3 , wherein each corrugation of the corrugated sheet material comprises two planar primary walls, the primary walls being arranged so that each primary wall abuts a primary wall of an adjacent corrugation of the rolled corrugated sheet material, so that the abutting pairs of primary walls form radially extending walls of the consumable.
6. 6 . A consumable according to claim 5 , wherein each corrugation of the corrugated sheet material further comprises secondary walls that connect the primary walls of each corrugation so that the secondary walls interconnect the radially extending walls and form an inner wall of the section.
7. 7 . A consumable according to claim 6 , wherein the inner wall defines a central channel of the section.
8. 8 . A consumable according to claim 1 , wherein the rolled corrugated sheet material further comprises a base sheet that forms an outer wall of the section.
9. 9 . A consumable according to claim 6 , wherein the rolled corrugated sheet material further comprises a base sheet that forms an outer wall of the section, and wherein the radially extending walls separate airflow channels bounded by the inner and outer walls of the section.
10. 10 . A consumable according to claim 1 , wherein an inner wall of the section is formed from a first rolled sheet of material and an outer wall of the section is formed from a second rolled sheet of material, and wherein the rolled sheet of corrugated material is provided radially between the rolled first sheet and the rolled second sheet such that, the rolled sheet of corrugated material forms radially extending internal walls of the section that extend between, and are enclosed by, the inner and outer walls of the section.
11. 11 . A consumable according to claim 10 , wherein the internal walls separate airflow channels bounded by the inner and outer walls of the section.
12. 12 . A consumable according to claim 1 , wherein the consumable comprises an aerosol generating material.

14. 14 . A consumable according to claim 11 , wherein an aerosol generating film is provided within at least one of the airflow channels.
15. 15 . A consumable according to claim 14 , wherein the aerosol generating film is provided on a radially outermost surface of the inner wall of the section and/or a radially innermost surface of the outer wall of the section.
16. 16 . A consumable according to claim 14 , wherein the aerosol generating film is provided on at least one of the radially extending walls.
17. 17 . A consumable according to any of claims 12 , wherein the aerosol-generating material comprises: an aerosol former a binder; optionally a filler; and optionally an active and/or a flavorant.
18. 18 . A consumable according to claim 17 , wherein the aerosol generating film is up to about 1 mm thick and, optionally, up to 500 microns thick and, optionally, 50 to 500 microns thick.
19. 19 . A method of forming the consumable of claim 1 , the method comprising: providing a sheet of corrugated material; and rolling the sheet of corrugated material into a section so that each corrugation of the rolled corrugated sheet material abuts an adjacent corrugation.
20. 20 . A non-combustible aerosol provision system comprising: the consumable of claim 1 ; and a non-combustible aerosol provision device for heating the aerosol generating material of the consumable to generate an aerosol, the device comprising an area for receiving the consumable, and an aerosol generator for causing said heating of the aerosol generating material when the consumable is in said area.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application is a National Phase entry of PCT Application No. PCT/GB2023/052726 filed Oct. 20, 2023, which claims priority to GB Application No. GB 2215599.8 filed Oct. 21, 2022, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a consumable for use with an aerosol provision system, an aerosol provision system comprising the consumable and a method for forming the consumable. BACKGROUND Certain tobacco industry products produce an aerosol during use, which is inhaled by a user. For example, tobacco heating devices heat an aerosol generating substrate such as tobacco to form an aerosol by heating, but not burning, the substrate. Such tobacco industry products commonly include consumables containing aerosol generating material for use in a heating device. SUMMARY In a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a consumable for use with an aerosol provision system, the consumable comprising a section formed from a rolled corrugated sheet material, wherein a surface of each corrugation of the rolled corrugated sheet material abuts a corresponding surface of an adjacent corrugation. In a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of forming the consumable of the first aspect, the method comprising: providing a sheet of corrugated material;rolling the sheet of corrugated material into a section so that each corrugation of the rolled corrugated sheet material abuts an adjacent corrugation. In a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a non-combustible aerosol provision system comprising: the consumable of the first aspect; anda non-combustible aerosol provision device for heating the aerosol generating material of the consumable to generate an aerosol, the device comprising an area for receiving the consumable, and an aerosol generator for causing said heating of the aerosol generating material when the consumable is in said area.
