Georgia-Pacific Gypsum and Sustainability
Georgia-Pacific Gypsum’s definition of sustainability is meeting the needs of society today without jeopardizing our ability to do so
in the future. We are committed to using resources efficiently to provide innovative products and solutions that meet the needs of
customers and society, while operating in a manner that is environmentally and socially responsible, and economically sound.
We continue to focus on:
• Improving energy efficiency at our manufacturing plants
• Seeking out opportunities to reduce water use, and to reuse water more efficiently
• Finding cost effective ways to further reduce air emissions
• Recovering and reusing materials that otherwise would end up in landfills.
Green building codes, standards, and programs are establishing themselves across the country. They promote the use of products
that contribute to the performance of the building, along with minimizing environmental and human health impacts over the life
of the building or home. Because we embrace product performance and operate in an environmentally, socially, and economically
sound manner, owners and architects can feel good about the structures they build using our products.
Many of our products contribute to LEED
®
and other green building codes, standards, or program credits or requirements. To find
out more, please refer to the Sustainable Materials Data Sheets (SMDS) at www.gpgypsum.com for recycled content, regional
materials, and low emitting materials information or use our on-line LEED calculator to calculate contribution for a specific credit.
