Towards Climate Neutrality with Gypsum

Eurogypsum presents an industry journey to reach net-zero emissions by 2050

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.
