EcoRock – the Green Drywall Alternative
Posted by Greg Castillo on October 19, 2009
The First Environmentally Friendly Drywall
EcoRock is an advanced solution that uses 80 percent less energy to produce than gypsum drywall, which for over 100 years has been the traditional construction drywall on the market. Naturally cured and dried, this innovative product eliminates the energy-intensive, high-CO2 generating calcining and oven-drying production method used to make wasteful gypsum drywall.
EcoRock Benefits:
- EcoRock is made with 80 percent post-industrial recycled waste, including waste from steel and cement plants—with no gypsum.
- EcoRock can be used as a pH additive for soils, in the production of other building materials and as a valuable raw material.
- Unlike gypsum, EcoRock may be safely disposed of in landfills.
- EcoRock outperforms all other mold resistant drywall by 50 percent.
- EcoRock uses no harsh anti-fungal chemicals on its surface or within its core.
- EcoRock generates 60 percent less dust and reduces the quantity of indoor air contaminants more than any other drywall.
- EcoRock is termite, impact, and ceiling sag resistant.
EcoRock is made by Serious Materials, which has four manufacturing locations around the country and strives to create thousands of green collar jobs right here in the USA.
