Gypsum wallboard recycling
It is the mission of Gypsum Recycling International to avoid landfilling of gypsum blocks and gypsum wallboard waste, which instead can be 100% recycled into valuable raw materials for the production of new gypsum wallboards. By establishing gypsum wallboard recycling programmes we can assist the environment globally and save scarce natural resources, at the same time as we are providing the gypsum industry with a valuable raw material at low cost. With landfills filling up everywhere, we consider it to be a very meaningful and desirable mission to help avoid that more than 15 million tons of gypsum wallboard waste is deposited at landfills yearly.Company profile
Gypsum Recycling International is the mother company of the internationally operating Gypsum Recycling Group. Gypsum Recycling International is the first company worldwide to have implemented a complete and commercially based gypsum wallboard recycling system for recycling of all kinds of gypsum wallboard waste by converting the waste into a raw material for production of new wallboards.
The system was introduced in Denmark in 2001, and has since been expanded to cover new countries very quickly. Today we are active in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Ireland, UK and USA, and Japan will start next year.
Gypsum Recycling Internationals system provides benefits to all parties involved, and accordingly the basis of the system is common business sense rather than bans or regulations regarding landfilling of wallboard waste.
Significantly different
The system has a proven track record in several countries and has obtained the world record recycling rate of 65%, not just of new construction waste but also of demolition waste. We do not just claim we can make gypsum wallboard recycling happening, we are doing it every day in 7 countries. Nobody has more experience than us.
It is a complete system with all the necessary elements for efficiently taking the waste from the place of generation to the processing facility, where the waste very economically is transformed into a valuable raw material that cost efficiently is delivered to the wallboard plant nearby. The system encompasses: a collection system/containers, a logistics system, the mobile recycling unit and end-users that can benefit from the recycled material.
The recycling unit is designed to be mobile and very compact. Hereby multiple small processing plants/facilities located close to where the waste is generated can be serviced using the same recycling unit. The recycling unit removes all types of contaminants from the recycled waste, no matter whether the waste is from new construction or demolition activity, assuring that any wallboard manufacturer can use the produced powder and replace up to 25% of the raw materials needs with recycled gypsum powder made from gypsum wallboard waste.
