Austria: Rail Cargo Group has launched a new service to transport recycled gypsum from Saint-Gobain joint venture GzG Gipsrecycling's gypsum recycling plant in Stockerau, Lower Austria, up to Saint-Gobain's gypsum wallboard plant in Bad Aussee, Styria. Saint-Gobain plans to begin using up to 40% recycled gypsum in its operations at the plant. The partners describe the service as creating Austria's first end-to-end circular gypsum supply chain. RailFreight News has reported that Austria's upcoming landfill ban for gypsum will enter force on 1 January 2026.
GzG opened its Stockerau plant, including a dedicated rail siding, in late October 2024.
