Plasterboard gypsum recycling
Plasterboard must now be segregated from general waste in the UK
Below are the main points of the November 2008 regulations from the EA regarding plasterboard waste:
- Total ban on disposal of plasterboard waste at mixed waste landfills
- The previous 10% rule is gone; the regulations are valid for any amount of plasterboard waste. A zero tolerance policy will be applied
- Obligation for HWRC’s, construction & demolition contractors and transfer/sorting facilities to segregate plasterboard waste
- Obligation to try to recycle and treat as much of the waste as possible
The EA clearly states:
“This material must not be land-filled with biodegradable waste. Producers of gypsum waste should separate it for recovery and recycling”.
