National Gypsum Partners with Gypsum Recycling   May 19, 2006 National Gypsum and Gypsum Recycling International (GRI) are moving closer to launching a program developed to recycle waste wallboard from new construction sites. A warehouse has just opened in Cambridge, MA, to collect the material. The company’s partner, GRI will process the scrap wallboard. National Gypsum will purchase the gypsum powder and recycle it into its wallboard manufacturing process at its Portsmouth, NH Plant.

GRI, a Danish firm which developed the recycling system, will manage the collection operation and the crushing equipment. GRI has had a similar system operating successfully in conjunction with wallboard manufacturers in Scandinavia for the past three years.

The crushing equipment is being built and is scheduled for delivery in Massachusetts this summer. National Gypsum expects to divert up to 30,000 tons of waste gypsum that would otherwise be land filled to the Portsmouth plant.

Headquartered in Charlotte, National Gypsum is a leading supplier of wallboard, interior finishing products, and cement board to the construction industry. It has a network of 20 wallboard plants in North America, in addition to finishing products and cement board plants, paper mills, and gypsum mines and quarries.
