Green Product Spotlight: Recycled Drywall


What is RECYCLED drywall?

We get this question a lot here at Woodland. The "recycled" aspect of recycled drywall is the center piece that is normally made from mined gypsum. In the case of recycled drywall it is made from a residue by-product taken from the flutes of coal-fired power plants during the cleaning process. Synthetic gypsum has the same chemical make up as natural gypsum and can be used in the same way that mined gypsum is. National Gypsum has their recycled drywall plants located in close proximity to the same power plants that they receive their synthetic gypsum from. Recycled drywall is a great eco-friendly product due to its recycled content, use of local products, and if you buy from Woodland, it is produced in Shippensberg, PA. Please call 215-727-5333 for availability and pricing, please specify recycled drywall.
