plasterderived

Plasterderived refers to materials or substances that originate from or are processed from gypsum plaster. Gypsum plaster itself is a building material used for coating walls and ceilings. When materials are described as plasterderived, it signifies that their composition or manufacturing process involves gypsum plaster as a primary component or precursor. This can include various forms of recycled plaster, derived plaster aggregates for use in concrete or other building applications, or even certain types of filler materials where ground gypsum plaster is incorporated. The term emphasizes the origin and secondary use of gypsum plaster beyond its initial application in wall finishing. Understanding plasterderived materials involves recognizing their connection to the plaster industry and their potential for reuse or repurposing of gypsum-based waste streams. These materials can contribute to sustainability efforts by diverting plaster from landfills and reducing the demand for virgin raw materials in new construction products.
