Welcome
The role of the Gypsum Products Development Association (GPDA) is to develop and encourage the understanding of gypsum based building materials and systems. The Association provides a cohesive package of advice and information on all developments affecting the gypsum industry, and communicates it to all aspects of the construction industry. Issues include the latest technical and product developments as well as training opportunities in the industry.
Working with Government
The GPDA began working with Defra and WRAP in 2007 to set measurable recycling targets for the industry. The industry is already exceeding its targets.
