ABOUT IT
The project promotes circular economy in civil construction through post-consumer gypsum recycling:
Main objectives:
Collection and recycling from gypsum waste from customers and partners in the construction industry;
Adaptation of industrial processes to incorporate recycled gypsum;
Development of gypsum boards with a high percentage of recycled material (e.g., Infinaé in France – 50% recycled; United Kingdom – 100% recycled).
Benefits of the closed loop:
Reducing the extraction of virgin raw materials;
Reducing waste disposal in landfills;
Contribution to decarbonization and circular economy;
Positive social and economic impacts (new business models, strategic partnerships, and support for cooperatives).
Results and Objectives
Recycled gypsum reintroduced into production in 2024: 400,000 tons;
Extending the lifespan of mineral deposits;
Significant reduction in the volume destined for landfills;
Creating sustainable products and new business models;
Engagement with customers, cooperatives, and recyclers.
Continued global gypsum recycling until 2030;
Contribution to circularity and decarbonization targets until 2050;
Accumulated recycled gypsum: 400,000 tons.
