SUSTAINABLE materials and practices are given an increasingly important consideration in today’s building construction. As a demonstration of its commitment to sustainability principles, Boral developed an environmentally preferred ENVIRO plasterboard range incorporating proprietary Recycled Materials Technology (RMT).
Boral ENVIRO plasterboard products have been certified as complying with Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) Panel Board Standard GECA 04-2007. Key features of this Standard require a minimum 10% overall recycled content, operation and monitoring of environmental performance through an Environmental Management System, and the reduction of production and construction waste including the availability of recycling services.
Boral ENVIRO Regular plasterboard is intended for use in non fire or acoustic rated applications. It is available in 13mm thickness, with a mass of 9.0kg/m2.
ENVIRO Regular plasterboard was used in the construction of Mirvac's nine-Star house in Melbourne.
