British Gypsum signs up to zero carbon
commitment
British Gypsum has become one of the first construction product manufacturers to sign up to the Government's zero carbon strategy, as a founding signatory of the '2016 Commitment'.
The Commitment, which has been formulated to support the Government's recent re-assertion of a zero carbon target for all new homes by the year 2016, is the first step in formalising support for the initiative across house builders and organisations working within and supplying the housebuilding sector As a signatory to the 2016 Commitment, British Gypsum is not only underlining its support for the zero carbon target, but is committing to work in partnership with other signatories to resolve the issues that must be tackled before the target can be achieved

British Gypsum say 'Think sound - think blue'
Think sound-think blue', is the latest message from British Gypsum following a move to standardise the face colour of all products in the company's Gyproc SoundBloc acoustic board range.
Mike Chaldecott, Managing Director of British Gypsum, sees signing the Commitment as just another step in his company's drive to deliver sustainable building solutions.
"We are committed as a company to drive sustainability throughout the business, from the way we manage our day-to-day operations and environmental obligations to the way we work with customers to develop solutions that minimise waste, and our increasing use of recycled raw materials".
""We are already working in partnership with many of the UK's leading house builders on ways to reduce the whole-life impact of our products, and see the 2016 Commitment as a natural extension of this work.
We are delighted to be the first plasterboard manufacturer to sign up to the Commitment, which I am sure will be a catalyst for higher environmental standards throughout the industry.
