Europe: The GtoG project (The perfect loop - the path to a circular economy: A European collaborative approach between the recycling industry, the demolition sector and the gypsum industry) has developed a film that presents in detail the project objectives and results.
Gypsum products like wallboard and blocks are among the very few construction materials where closed-loop recycling is possible. The recycling process separates gypsum from paper and both materials can be re-used to repeatedly produce the same products. The overall aim of GtoG is to transform the gypsum demolition waste market to achieve higher recycling rates of gypsum waste, thereby helping to achieve a resource-efficient economy.
The newly-launched film enables the audience to gain insight on the project developments and is part of the consortium's willingness to enhance the quality and availability of information to all industry professionals and to its stakeholders. The film includes contributions from professionals covering not only the entire gypsum supply chain (demolition, recycling and production), but also the full range of organisations represented in the project (universities, consulting agencies and demolition, recycling and manufacturing companies).
