1 PLASTERBOARD SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE PSP (UK) 13 November 2012, European Parliament Brussels Presented by: Malcolm Waddell, WRAP UK

2 Agenda Introduction to WRAP Plasterboard Sustainability Partnership Resource Efficiency Action Plans Plasterboard Sustainability Action Plan PAS109 (for production of recycled gypsum) Quality Protocol for recycled gypsum

3 About WRAP WRAP s vision is a world without waste, where resources are used sustainably. We help businesses, individuals and communities reap the benefits of reducing waste, developing sustainable products and using resources in an efficient way.

4 Product Sustainability Forum a collaborative forum to quantify, reduce and communicate the life cycle environmental impacts of everyday products

5 Plasterboard Sustainability Partnership Consists of stakeholders throughout the plasterboard supply chain: Manufacturers Designers Suppliers Logistics Installers / contractors Waste management / recovery Demolition Delivers on the actions within the Plasterboard Sustainability Action Plan

6 Resource Efficiency Action Plans Support for existing action plans progress and delivery Developing new action plans Clay Bricks and Blocks Precast Concrete Composites

7 Annual Reports

8 Plasterboard Sustainability Action Plan Actions Manufacturer efficiency Responsible Sourcing Health and Safety Design Logistics transport / packaging Waste management Quality Protocol / PAS Ashdown Agreement 2 WRAP provide project support

9 PSP Highlighting progress Design out waste learning module

11 PSP Highlighting progress Design out waste learning module Voluntary agreements Ashdown Agreement 2

12 Ashdown Agreement 2 Manufacturers voluntary agreement 1. Reduce the amount of plasterboard waste to landfill and increase recovery of all plasterboard waste with a long term objective of zero plasterboard waste sent to landfill by Reduce plasterboard waste being sent to landfill from UK plasterboard manufacturing operations to zero tonnes per year by Increase the recycling of new construction plasterboard waste to the best environmentally beneficial applications (as defined in the Quality Protocol) to 50% by 2015.

13 PSP Highlighting progress Design out waste learning module Voluntary agreements Ashdown Agreement 2 All manufacturers committed to Responsible Sourcing (BES6001) Labelling to promote safe handling Recycling trials for laminate boards

14 PAS109 Specification of production of recycled gypsum from waste plasterboard Publicly Available Specification (BSI) Launched in 2008 Quality management and processes Standardised levels to meet for reprocessors Size Physical contaminants Chemical contaminants Identifies range of end uses

17 Quality Protocols

18 End of Waste When has waste been fully recovered? Three criteria to consider after the defined waste has been through an authorised recovery process: Certainty of use Suitability for use No greater risk to the environment and human health than the virgin alternative

19 Quality Protocol for recycled gypsum

20 Quality Protocol for recycled gypsum Published in 2009 Three end uses Raw material in gypsum based products (plasterboard / ceiling tiles) Soil treatment for agriculture benefit Raw material in cement manufacture Record management Approved standards

21 Life cycle assessment of plasterboard Reviews one board type Three scenarios 10.5% recycled gypsum (includes production waste) 15% recycled gypsum 25% recycled gypsum CO2 reductions can be achieved by increasing the amount of recycled gypsum Impact minimal compared to all impacts
