Gypsum closes in on green goals - British Gypsum
Closure of the landfill site at its Kirkby Thore works is said to have taken British Gypsum a significant step closer to its sustainability goals. The landfill had been in continuous use until June this year accommodating largely production waste from the two plasterboard lines on the site.
British Gypsum managing director, Mike Chaldecott said: 'The closure of the landfill site is a major achievement in our drive to reduce waste through the company.
'Not only does this save us money, but it helps us to preserve our virgin gypsum reserves and reduces the environmental impact of our business. Eliminating landfill from our business is a key element of our corporate sustainability. It is part of a raft of initiatives.'
