Sustainability

We see sustainability as not only a commitment, but our responsibility - from material sourcing and manufacturing, through to working on solutions for product end of life. That is why, we have incorporated sustainability throughout our Tauranga facility. Watch our video to learn more about our Tauranga plasterboard production.

 

 

GIB® plasterboard and compounds are manufactured in New Zealand to support local jobs and our environment1..

GIB® plasterboard is a sustainable, non-toxic, compostable product made from natural gypsum and 100% recycled paper.

The full lifecycle of our products are considered and Winstone Wallboards supports waste minimisation and recycling initiatives both from our manufacturing processes and on construction sites.

GIB® plasterboards do not use fly ash, a derivative of coal extraction, as a bulk filler2. in place of naturally occurring gypsum. 

 1.GIB Barrierline® is manufactured to Winstone Wallboards’ specific specification from a reputable overseas manufacturer.
 2.10mm GIB Aqualine® board uses less than 0.7% fly ash as a processing agent, not as a bulk filler.
