Description

Recycling Gypsum Wall Board

presented by Renée Gratton

As is the case for any fabric, the use and continued re-use of the urban fabric needs to be considered, or else it will fade and the edges fray. Gypsum wall board is one of the most common construction materials in both residential and commercial buildings, yet few understand all the possibilities, limitations and environmental issues surrounding its manufacture, use and disposal. Come join us as the CRI (Construction Recycling Initiatives) Task Group addresses this subject including landfill issues, recycled content and recycling of gypsum wallboard waste, and how it impacts all stakeholders within the National Capital Region.
