Gypsum recycling


Avoid landfilling of gypsum waste. Gypsum waste should be recycled instead.

Gypsym Recycling International is the first company to have implemented a complete and commercially viable voluntary system for plaster board and gypsum recycling.

Gypsum Recycling International has so far established plasterboard waste recycling on three continents: Europe, North America, and Asia. Due to our win-win business model and our ability to produce a recycled gypsum powder which is 99% as good as virgin gypsum raw materials, the growth of plasterboard waste and gypsum recycling has been increasing rapidly.

In total 80 million tons of plasterboard is produced every year. Europe, US and Japan accounts for 85% of this. Of this 15 million tons becomes waste and most of it is still sent to landfill. This means that app. 15 mio tons of waste unnecessarily is being landfilled yearly, or more than 40.000 tons of waste every day. Our gypsum recycling system can change that.

Gypsum recycling is becoming a key source of raw materials for more and more plasterboard plants. Our gypsum recycling system counts the top 5 plasterboard companies in the world as customers. Plasterboard plants belonging to USG, BPB Group, Knauf, Lafarge Gypsum and National Gypsum participate in our gypsum recycling system and rely on us to supply them with high quality recycled plasterboard waste at prices below the price of virgin materials. We make gypsum recycling in 10 different countries in cooperation with among other these 5 leading plasterboard manufacturers.

Our gypsum recycling system benefits the environment, the construction and demolition industry and the manufacturers of the plasterboards.

The benefits to the environment of gypsum recycling:

Gypsum recycling means that waste that would otherwise have been disposed of in landfills now is being recycled and turned into a gypsum powder that the plasterboard manufacturers can use when making new boards. Not only does gypsum recycling thereby prevent waste from being disposed of unnecessary in landfills to the benefit of the environment, but the use of scarce natural resources is also reduced by the gypsum recycling, as the recycled waste will reduce the need for manufacturers to acquire natural gypsum resources. On top of that gypsum plasterboard waste in landfills under certain circumstances is known to cause hydrogen sulfite gasses, which potentially are lethal, and obviously by recycling gypsum waste instead such dangerous situations can be avoided.

The benefits to the construction and demolition industry of gypsum recycling:

For the construction and demolition contractors recycling gypsum waste means less costs, as we always offer gypsum recycling at a price below the price of disposal at landfills. As we on top of our gypsum recycling service also provide an entire collection and logistic solution, the construction and demolition contractors can leave everything to us: We will pick up the waste at the construction site, recycle it and deliver the powder to the plasterboard manufacturers. The only thing the construction and demolition contractors have to do, is to order our gypsum recycling service.

The benefits to the drywall manufacturers of gypsum recycling:

For the plasterboard manufacturers gypsum recycling also means less costs, as we always offer the recycled gypsum powder made from the gypsum recycling at a price that is below the price of other gypsum raw materials.
