Philippines Tariff Commission prepares for public hearings on proposed anti-dumping duty on gypsum wallboard from Thailand

24 March 2025

Philippines: The Tariff Commission (TC) will be running public hearings from late March 2025 that will consider implementing a permanent anti-dumping duty on gypsum wallboard imported from Thailand. The import tax is being considered following a petition by Knauf Gypsum Philippines in late 2023, according to the Business Mirror newspaper. In November 2024 the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty in the form of a cash bond for four months until March 2025.

In a government investigation into the situation, the subsidiary of Germany-based Knauf alleged that wallboard was imported from Thailand at ‘dumped’ prices in 2022. Other companies claimed that these imports started to negatively affect the market in 2019, leading to lower revenue and decreased profits.

Chiyoda Ute joins gypsum wallboard recycling demonstration project

17 May 2024

Japan: Chiyoda Ute is taking part in a demonstration project intended to demonstrate the recycling of gypsum wallboard. The so-called ‘horizontal recycling scheme’ includes construction company Mori Building, interior design company Senba and wallboard recycling company Tokuyama Chiyoda Gypsum. Based on the results of the demonstration the companies hope to build a wallboard recycling supply chain.

It is estimated that the volume of wallboard waste in Japan will exceed 2Mt/yr in 2032 and 3Mt/yr in 2047. However, there are concerns that the recycling rate is low and managed final disposal sites are becoming scarce. In addition, supplies of synthetic gypsum from coal-fired power stations are expected to decrease. At present the country imports over 2Mt/yr of gypsum.
