GypStream

We Make Drywall Recycling Possible.

Gypsum recycling is an essential process for reducing construction waste and promoting sustainable material recovery. Used drywall and plasterboard can be processed into high-quality recycled gypsum that’s reused in new drywall manufacturing, cement production, and agricultural applications. By recycling gypsum instead of sending it to landfills, companies can significantly reduce disposal costs, lower environmental impact, and conserve natural resources.

Scott Equipment designs and manufactures gypsum recycling equipment engineered for efficiency, durability, and precise material separation. Our systems include heavy-duty crushers, separators, and screening units that cleanly separate gypsum from paper and other debris. The result is a consistent, high-purity gypsum product ready for reuse in industrial production. Whether you operate a drywall recycling facility or need an integrated recycling solution for your manufacturing plant, Scott Equipment provides custom-engineered gypsum recycling systems that help your operation achieve sustainability and profitability goals.

THE CHALLENGE

Eternally Recyclable

Hydrous Calcium Sulfate, commonly known as Gypsum, is a non-metallic mineral found in natural rock deposits across the world. Gypsum has a wide variety of uses, but primarily it is known as the main ingredient in drywall (wallboard, plasterboard, sheetrock). One beautiful attribute of Gypsum is its eternally recyclable. It can be reused into new drywall over and over again.

Ending up in Landfills

Despite gypsum being recyclable, drywall waste predominantly ends up in landfills. In the United States alone, nearly 15 million tons of drywall end up in landfills every year, where it takes up limited landfill space, leaches sulfate, and generates hydrogen sulfide, responsible for a noxious odor similar to rotten eggs

A Better Way

As Scott Equipment Company, our Recycling Products Division developed the GypStream to disrupt this wasteful pattern of sending drywall to the landfill. GypStream makes drywall recycling viable by efficiently separating gypsum from its paper backing, producing pure, clean gypsum that can be recycled for use in a variety of downstream markets or returned upstream into new drywall.
