Gyproc SoundBloc Infinaé 100 is described as “a new benchmark for sustainable construction”.

It is made in the UK by British Gypsum, a subsidiary of French company Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions, by taking plasterboard waste from construction sites and reprocessing it.

Dean O’Sullivan, managing director at Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions, said: “The new Gyproc SoundBloc Infinaé 100 is a testament to British Gypsum’s commitment to the circular economy and dedication to shaping a more sustainable future for the construction industry. This breakthrough will showcase what is possible when we invest in the future of our industry and the planet, paving the way for a new standard in environmental responsibility.”

He added: “Our innovative 100% recycled plasterboard is more than just a product; it’s a further step towards a circular future where business and environmental goals align for a better world.”
