Recycling initiative adds a sustainability angle

As Business Wire reported on September 10, 2026, Saint-Gobain Canada is expanding its CertainTeed Recycle gypsum recycling program, aiming to divert thousands of tonnes of construction waste from landfills.

The release highlights that the initiative will increase the volume of gypsum board scraps collected from construction sites and manufacturing facilities, with the recycled material then reintroduced into new board production, which fits with Saint-Gobain's broader objective to reduce its environmental footprint and support circular economy practices in its North American operations.Business Wire

For investors, such recycling projects can reinforce Saint-Gobain's positioning with customers who increasingly value low-carbon and resource-efficient building materials, potentially supporting medium-term demand even as cyclical construction activity in Europe and North America remains sensitive to interest rates and broader economic conditions.
