1984 the very first landfill ban for gypsum plasterboard waste was enacted. The Provincial Government of British Columbia wanted not only to reduce solid waste disposal in the province but was actively evaluating recyclable materials and seeking entrepreneurs with reprocessing capabilities. It was a natural fit for Tony and Gwen McCamley, owners of a company that was already in the construction waste hauling and demolition business. Now, three decades later, New West Gypsum Recycling continues to have the highest quality recycled gypsum material in the industry. In an effort to ensure that no gypsum ever makes its way to a landfill, Tony and Gwen McCamley established New West Gypsum Recycling, Ltd. (NWGR) in 1985. Over time, a highly-efficient process was developed to pulverise the gypsum core and remove the backing paper, leaving the recycled gypsum ready for use. This process – now patented – is the cornerstone of nearly 5 million tonnes of gypsum material that NWGR has recycled to plasterboard manufacturers. The recycled material is a consistent, quality blend of pre- and post-consumer gypsum material that is a readily available source for use in the manufacture of new Gypsum products. NWGR has developed methods of recycling the paper backing for re-use in many different applications. NWGR has streamlined their processes and business model and has expanded around the globe. NWGR has well over 100 people employed at plants world-wide. NWGR is the most efficient gypsum recycler today – not only can we recycle dry gypsum, but we are experts at recycling wet gypsum. Here in the UK aim is to follow the goal set by Tony and Gwen McCamley, that no gypsum material ever ends up in a landfill. Since there is no product degradation during the recycling process, gypsum is an infinite re-use material. We ARE Gypsum Recycling.
