Is the Gypsum powder the only reusable product of this process? What happens to the paper and metal?

[MrHenriklundnielsen]

@christinicole

Both are recycled. The metal goes to a metal recycler, while the paper is used for animal bedding, composting or similar. Best Regards, Henrik Lund-Nielsen

@christinicole the paper is ground into pulp, and the metal is sold by weight.

I am sorry: Can you be a bit more specific ? Are you aksing for what price recycled gypsum can be sold to the wallboard manufactorers for ? Are you saying that that agricultural users are paying 250-300 $/t for the gypsum they buy ? Do you know wether this gypsum is in the hemihydrat or dihyrdrate form ?

How does the pricing compare recycled for gypsum sold back to the manufacturers verses agricultural use at $250-300 per ton? Thanks
