We’re proud to announce the development of RECYPLAC™, a groundbreaking innovation from Siniat France, the first standard plasterboard made from 100% recycled gypsum. By using almost entirely circular materials for its other constituents, it delivers the same high performance as standard plasterboard while significantly reducing waste and the need for virgin raw materials: ✅ 100% recycled gypsum – sourced entirely from gypsum recovered after use ✅ Uses nearly only circular material for its other constituents– maximising resource efficiency ✅ Same high performance – meeting industry standards ✅ Patent pending – reinforcing our leadership in recycled gypsum technology ✅ Sustainability for customers – a practical alternative for mainstream construction projects, not just niche applications RECYPLAC™ is set for market launch in France in July 2025, thanks to the dedicated collaboration between our R&D teams in Avignon and Siniat France. This achievement further strengthens our leadership in circular construction and advances our sustainability goals, with some plants surpassing 35% recycled gypsum ratios, applied across all plasterboard products—both standard and technical. Since 2018, we have increased our use of recycled gypsum by 34%. 📢 Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eVzaAnqV
Great initiative. Congratulations!!
Congrats team! Great achievement and emphasize our focus and leadership in #sustainability
We are EXTREMELY proud about this key milestone, constantly striving to lead in #Sustainability! A wonderful achievement from a strong collaboration across the organisation!
It is encouraging to see the progress Etex is making in gypsum recycling, particularly with the introduction of the 100% recycled RECYPLAC™ plasterboard. However, it raises the question of what happens to the paper fraction that is separated during the recycling process. As paper is a significant component of plasterboard, finding a sustainable end-of-life solution for this material is essential to achieving full circularity. Are there any current initiatives or plans at Etex to recover or repurpose the paper content from used plasterboard? There are potential solutions available for this fraction, and exploring these could further strengthen the circular approach in your operations.
When collaboration between R&D and manufacturing teams delivers outstanding sustainable results.
Thumb up to your innovations and product development
Feliz de ser parte esta familia...
Great job! 🥳
Congratulations!
At Siniat France, we’re proud to have contributed to the development of RECYPLAC™ — a major step forward in circular construction, developed hand in hand with our R&D teams and industrial sites. This innovation shows how far we can go when performance and sustainability work together. A big thank you to all the teams involved — we’re excited to see RECYPLAC™ hit the French market in July 2025!
