Lafarge Paperless Mold Resistant Drywall is a synthetic gypsum product that utilizes the latest technology in drywall/gypsum board manufacturing. Lafarge uses the highest percentage of synthetic gypsum in the drywall industry. With all of their plants using 99 percent recycled content by weight, Lafarge is the only drywall manufacturer to have nearly all of its board manufactured in North America made with 100 percent recycled gypsum and recycled paper. Synthetic Gypsum (also known as calcium sulfate) is a by-product of the desulfurization process coal-fired power plants use to reduce air pollution. Considered a waste product, synthetic gypsum is typically hauled away and disposed of in landfills. However, because it is chemically equivalent to natural rock gypsum, synthetic gypsum can be used as an alternative resource when available. At the Lafarge Palatka plant, synthetic gypsum from neighboring power plants is used to manufacture environmentally-friendly drywall. This cooperative effort results in reduced landfill waste and cleaner air quality inside the home.
