Plasterboard Recycling & Disposal Services

Why is Plasterboard a problem?

The average yearly production of plaster in the UK has reached an estimated 700 million kg, with the rise in plasterboard, or drywall, housing developments over the last few years requiring an even higher level of production.

However, a law created in 2009 has made it illegal to send plasterboard waste to landfill deposits due to the harmful effects it can have on the environment. Constructing plasterboard uses up a lot of valuable fossil fuels, and the continued over-ordering of plasterboard in construction amounts to roughly 300,000 tonnes of wasted plaster, meaning higher transport emissions and more toxins in the environment.
