| The European Gypsum Industry is taking measures to reduce, reuse, and recycle gypsum waste, therefore contributing to the 70% target for preparing for reuse,recycling, and other material recovery of non-hazardous Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste by 2020, set down in Directive 2008/98/EC. An overview on current practices towards higher recycling rates of gypsum waste recycling in ten European Member States (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, and the United Kingdom) is outlined: from the type of gypsum waste generated to the diverse technical specifications required for the recycled gypsum. The objective is to analyze peculiarities of each country in the path towards achieving a circular economy in the European Gypsum Industry. The results show how in 5 out of the 10 countries under study, Austria, Germany, Italy,Spain, and Poland, only Production waste is being diverted from landfill disposal, whereas in Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, apart from Production waste, gypsum waste coming from Construction and Demolition building sites is also being processed, and the resulting recycled gypsum is being successfully reincorporated in the manufacturing process, therefore effectively closing the loop of this material. | |
