Siniat to launch RECYPLAC recycled gypsum wallboard 04 April 2025
France: Siniat has announced the forthcoming launch of its RECYPLAC 100% recycled gypsum wallboard in July 2025. Siniat developed the product at a pilot line at its Carpentras plant in Vaucluse and will now start to produce it at its Ottmarsheim plant in Haut-Rhin.
Siniat’s parent company Etex says that it is the European leader in the use of recycled gypsum, with some gypsum wallboard plants already producing over 35% recycled wallboard. Group recycled gypsum use rose by 34% between 2018 and 2024.
China: Beijing New Building Materials (BNBM) raised its revenues from its gypsum wallboard business in 2024, with a 56% rise in gross profit. The group says that it continues to strengthen its gypsum wallboard market presence. Home renovations have now risen to 35% of business sales. Taishan Gypsum increased its share of BNBM’s high-end product sales to over 2%.
Gypsum wallboard projects in Thailand and Bosnia & Herzegovina are under implementation ‘in an orderly manner’ in line with BNBM’s focus on increasing operational strength in South-East Asia, Central Asia, Periphery Middle East and Mediterranean-Europe.
