US: Xeriant says that it has successfully tested a high-volume production process for its Nexboard alternative wallboard. The wallboard is made of recycled plastic content, and is 100% recyclable.
Recycling Today News has reported that CEO Keith Duffy said “The industry is desperate for a viable green alternative to gypsum board as part of a transition toward greater efficiency, safety and sustainability in building design. Drywall has essentially remained unchanged for over a century and is extremely vulnerable to moisture and mold. Our homebuilder clients are anxious to receive and approve our production samples so we can execute pending contracts and begin our quest to disrupt the building materials industry.”
