Germany: Canada-based New West Gypsum Recycling (NWGR) has announced that it will invest in a new gypsum recycling facility in Hürth / Cologne, Germany. NWGR, together, with its local joint venture partner Schulz Baustoffe GmbH, will build a state-of-the-art plant with a gypsum recycling capacity of 90,000t/yr. It will begin operations in January 2017.
NWGR says that the plant location allows easy access to the main industrial areas of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund and the south west of the Netherlands. It adds that the new plant will 'set the new standard in recycled gypsum, unmatched particle size and paper content, combined with the highest care for safety and the environment.'
100% of the recycled gypsum produced by the plant will be used in the production of gypsum wallboard in the Rigips plant in Scholven, Germany.
