Saint-Gobain Unveils First 100% Recycled Plasterboard in the UK

On January 16, 2025, Saint-Gobain announced the launch of its first plasterboard made entirely from recycled materials in the UK, a pioneering achievement for the Group. Named Gyproc SoundBloc Infinaé 100, the product signifies a significant move towards circularity in the construction industry. Developed by British Gypsum, a Saint-Gobain subsidiary, this plasterboard utilizes plaster waste from construction sites, integrating it into a sustainable production process.

The initiative also includes a collection service for construction site materials, reinforcing their dedication to waste reduction in the supply chain.

This development is part of Saint-Gobain's strategy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, aligning with its broader sustainability goals.
