SAINT-GOBAIN LAUNCHES ITS FIRST 100% RECYCLED PLASTERBOARD

 

Following the launch in 2022 in France of the first plasterboard containing at
least 50% recycled gypsum, Saint-Gobain today announces the introduction in
the United Kingdom (UK) of a plasterboard manufactured entirely from recycled
materials, a world first for the Group.

 

The Gyproc SoundBloc Infinaé 100 marks a major milestone for the whole
industry towards circularity as it is among the world's first plasterboards
manufactured entirely from gypsum recycled materials.

 

Developed by British Gypsum, a Saint-Gobain subsidiary in the UK, it uses
plaster waste taken from construction sites. These materials are then
introduced into the production process to make high-quality plasterboard,
supporting the circular economy and helping construction companies achieve
their sustainability goals.

 

Mike Chaldecott, Chief Executive Officer of Saint-Gobain UK and Ireland, said:
"Gyproc SoundBloc Infinaé 100 plasterboard embodies our commitment to
transform the construction industry and to offer solutions that meet the
environmental challenges. With this innovation, we reaffirm our role as a
leader in sustainable construction, promoting the recycling of materials and
preserving natural resources."

 

Leveraging its expertise in recycling, British Gypsum offers a collection
service for construction site materials, covering not only plasterboard but
also products such as drywall adhesive and finishing plasters. Additionally,
collaboration with a circular economy pallet provider highlights a commitment
to reducing waste in the construction supply chain.

 

This initiative reflects Saint-Gobain's commitment to achieving net-zero
carbon emissions by 2050 across scopes 1, 2, and 3.
