An Irish recycling programme

• The collection activities were started in Ireland in the spring of 2005 
     
• The major construction companies and demolition companies are the biggest users of the system 
    
• Due to the strong economy and booming housebuilding sector, there are more housebuilding companies as customers of the system than in any other country that Gypsum Recycling International serves 
     
• A smaller container has been developed to suit the needs of the Irish housebuilding companies 
    
• The processing facility is conveniently located north of Dublin in Drogheda 
      
• The cost of landfilling has been exploding in the last years and often now is more than 150 EUR per tons. Compared to this, Gypsum Recycling offers a very significant saving 
    
• The system has been inspected by the Irish Minister of the Environment with great satisfaction 
     
• Most customers are from the greater Dublin area, but everyday the coverage of the system is expanded to other areas 
     
• The only Irish plasterboard plant, BPB Gypsum Industries, have received recycled powder. Volume is increasing every day
