Plasterboard disposal


Gypsum Recycling International is the first company to have implemented a complete and commercially viable voluntary system for disposal of plasterboard waste by means of recycling. We turn the waste into a gypsum powder which the plasterboard plants can use as raw material for the production of new plasterboard. The system with its patented technology is now implemented in 10 countries.

Plasterboard disposal in landfills is an environmentally unfriendly solution and does not use the resources that the waste represents. Indeed, disposal of plasterboard waste at landfills creates potential problems with hydrogen sulphite gasses and generates greenhouse gasses.

Plasterboard disposal by means of recycling is a much better solution. It helps the environment and is less costly than disposal of plasterboard waste at landfills.

On top of this, our unique plasterboard recycling technology is mobile, so that the recycling unit can be moved around from one processing facility to the next. This way the plasterboard waste does not have to be transported far, and the whole system for plasterboard disposal via recycling becomes very competitive with plasterboard disposal at landfills.

About the plasterboard recycling system

Up until now it has been a widely accepted fact that the ability to handle wet waste is crucial for establishing plasterboard recycling systems, as the waste inevitably would get wet at some point from creation until it was reprocessed.

While it is true that the recycling unit for plasterboard disposal should be able to handle wet waste if such is present, it is a conceptual mistake to design the system around handling wet plasterboard waste: if the system allows the waste to get wet, the end users will be paying for having water removed from their site, which obviously is not very economical. Secondly if the waste gets wet, the water absorbed must under all circumstances at some point be driven out again either by the recycling unit or at the plasterboard plant. It will always increase the cost of recycling to drive out this water.

Gypsum Recycling International’s concept is to avoid that the waste gets wet at all, because this will always be the most economical solution. Thus by having the special containers from Gypsum Recycling International with the top lids and transporting the plasterboard waste in covered trucks, we prevent the waste from getting wet in the first place!
