Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team
Dec 1, 2009
Knauf Drywall has made plasterboard process improvements resulting in a reduction in water and energy requirements.
Knauf Drywall's Immingham factory has reduced the excess water content of its board by approximately 12.5 per cent, with proportionate savings in gas needed to dry it before finishing.
Knauf Drywall has improved its processes in plasterboard production
Much of Knauf Drywall's raw material is FGD gypsum, a recycled by-product of coal fired power stations.
This is supplemented by further recycled material from production waste and clean building waste.
The paper liners are made from fully recycled fibres.
Knauf Drywall has previously gained ISO 14001 certification for environmental management as part of an ongoing drive for sustainability excellence throughout its business.
