Naturally cured and dried, EcoRock eliminates the energy-intensive, high-C02 generating calcining and oven-drying found in gypsum drywall production.
EcoRock is made using 80% post-industrial recycled waste, including waste from steel and cement plants —with no gypsum.EcoRock can be used as a pH additive for soils and can be returned to the production of EcoRock and other building materials as a valuable raw material. Unlike gypsum, EcoRock may be safely disposed of in landfills if necessary.
EcoRock also drastically reduces the quantity of indoor air contaminants over any other drywall. EcoRock generates 60% less dust, and presents no negative effects of airborne mercury often generated during wallboard production using FGD (recycled) gypsum from coal plants.
EcoRock can contribute more potential LEED credits (up to 8 LEED points) than any other drywall in the areas of recycled content, regional materials, low- emitting materials, and innovation in design.
