State Urged to Recycle Gypsum

G-P Gypsum and United States Gypsum Co. (USG) have submitted letters to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection in support of gypsum recycling at their New England wallboard manufacturing facilities.

The letters outline the two companies’ current efforts to recycle the material, and pledge to find ways to economically recycle more of the material. The idea is to help Massachusetts meet its goal of reducing non-municipal solid waste by 88 percent by 2010, as outlined in its solid waste master plan.
