Tackling climate change and achieving net zero emissions of CO2 are crucial objectives for our societies.
Eurogypsum, the European association representing the suppliers of gypsum and gypsum-based products, such as plaster or plasterboard, published on 9 November 2023 a roadmap presenting the industry's journey to net-zero emissions.
The gypsum industry is an enabling sector and is actively contributing to achieving Europe’s carbon neutrality objectives through:
- Reducing resource and energy use through manufacturing transformation.
- A switch to renewable energy sources.
- A higher share of recycled, alternative and/or low CO2 raw materials.
- Innovative solutions for the built environment.
- Engagement & collaboration with the full value chain.
Achieving climate neutrality is a global and common endeavour, which requires joint actions from all involved actors, including industry players and policymakers.
A stable and forward-looking economic and policy framework is needed to maximise the industry contributions to a net-zero building sector.
