A total ban on the disposal of plasterboard waste at mixed landfills is NOW in force. Recycled plasterboard has a high reuse content with up to 97% being suitable for end-users including onward industry use.
Countrystyle Group has been involved in the treatment of plasterboard waste for many years. The Group assists companies by segregating, collecting and recycling plasterboard waste, resulting in improved recycling rates, reduced landfill charges and avoidance of ever increasing landfill taxation.
Plasterboard waste is processed at our own Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) separating paper from the gypsum powder. Both the fibre and powder are then reused in onward industry processes.
For further guidance issued by the Environment Agency outlining your legal obligations please visit http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/static/documents/Business/PS_007_Landfilling_gypsum_rev_Jan_2011.pdf
