Capital and Environmental Benefits

With gypsum supplies shrinking, USA Gypsum is helping wallboard manufacturers reduce time and costs associated with waste disposal management. At the same time, we assist them with procurement of high quality gypsum through our proven recycling process without capital investment outlay from the manufacturer. Millions of tons of gypsum wallboard scraps enter landfills each year, representing an enormous loss of energy and natural resources that can be recycled in a closed loop or upcycled to higher value uses. This is consistent with the EPA Sustainable Materials Management Initiative 2017-2022 (SMM), a systemic approach to using and reusing materials more productively over their life cycles. By looking at gypsum’s entire life cycle, from materials extraction to end-of-life management, there are opportunities to reduce environmental impacts, conserve resources and reduce costs.
