European Waste Catalogue
Gypsum-based construction materials including plasterboard are 17 08 02 — or 17 08 01 when contaminated with hazardous substances. Plasterboard must be landfilled separately from biodegradable waste.
Also searched as: drywall, gypsum board, gib board, wallboard
The European Waste Catalogue codes waste by the process it arises from, not just the material. Pick the row that matches where your plasterboard is generated — each code links to its full classification, valorisation routes and receiving industries.
