British Gypsum, part of Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions, has unveiled Gyproc SoundBloc Infinaé 100, providing the industry with the first UK manufactured plasterboard made from 100% recycled gypsum and setting a new benchmark for sustainable construction.
Dean O’Sullivan Managing Director at Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions said: “The new Gyproc SoundBloc Infinaé 100 is a testament to British Gypsum’s commitment to the circular economy and dedication to shaping a more sustainable future for the construction industry. This breakthrough will showcase what is possible when we invest in the future of our industry and the planet, paving the way for a new standard in environmental responsibility.”
This innovation is the result of a new industrial process. Plasterboard waste from construction sites is transformed into high-quality plasterboard, supporting the circular economy and helping construction companies achieve their sustainability targets.
It builds on the success of British Gypsum’s plasterboard recycling service. Contractors can sign up for British Gypsum to collect new build waste and scrap from not only new British Gypsum plasterboard but also Gyproc Driwall Adhesive and most Thistle plasters.
The launch of Gyproc SoundBloc Infinaé 100 recycled plasterboard is another UK first sustainability initiative from British Gypsum, which is committed to reaching Net Zero Carbon by 2050. In 2024, British Gypsum also became the first building materials manufacturer in UK construction to partner with The Pallet LOOP, a circular economy pallet supplier. Increasingly, British Gypsum goods such as Gyproc and Glasroc are shipped on easily identifiable, green-coloured LOOP pallets, in a bid to radically reduce avoidable pallet waste.
