Plasterboard Disposal

At Sortera, we ensure plasterboard waste is not only disposed of in compliance with regulations but also recycled responsibly. This approach helps support sustainability efforts in the construction sector and reduces the environmental impact of projects.

Proper plasterboard disposal is critical for several reasons. When mixed with other waste, plasterboard can release harmful chemicals which can pollute soil and water. Therefore, it's crucial to keep plasterboard separate to ensure its recycled safely. Recycling plasterboard also helps conserve natural resources by reducing the need for raw material extraction. In turn, this lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with manufacturing new materials. In the UK, regulations strictly prohibit the disposal of plasterboard in landfills due to its potential environmental harm, making it essential to follow the correct procedures.

Sortera makes it easy to manage plasterboard waste in a way that benefits both your project and the environment. We work with you to tailor a solution that fits your specific needs. To help keep plasterboard separate from other materials, we provide Plasterboard Sacks for use on-site. This segregation is key to ensuring that plasterboard can be recycled effectively.

Once the plasterboard is collected on a scheduled day, it is transported to our recycling facility using our specialised fleet of vehicles. We guarantee that 100% of segregated plasterboard is recycled, reducing the need for new resource extraction and helping to lower your carbon footprint.

Choosing Sortera for plasterboard disposal ensures compliance with all regulations while contributing to your sustainability goals. Whether you’re managing a small renovation or a large-scale construction project, we provide efficient, eco-friendly, and legally compliant waste disposal services.
