Danish producer increases the use of recycled gypsum

A shortage of synthetic gypsum in some jurisdictions means that wallboard manufacturers are looking to recycled gypsum as an alternative. Here Per Cederberg from ReTec outlines the benefits of equipment supplied to a Danish wallboard plant.

In Denmark there is a long tradition of collecting and recycling gypsum wallboard from construction and demolition waste. Hence it was a natural decision for a Danish wallboard plant to look for new recycled gypsum processing equipment, when it wanted to be able to significantly increase its recycled gypsum substitution rate. 

The choice of supplier was ReTec Miljø Aps, based in Haderslev. ReTec has previously delivered equipment, including the essential roller mill to other Denmark-based gypsum recyclers.

ReTec is among the pioneers in development and manufacture of gypsum recycling equipment. It built and co-developed the world’s first mobile gypsum recycling plant in 2005. In the  following years equipment has been delivered to a further three mobile plant as well as two stationary plants in Denmark.
