[GBlist] Demolition gyp board into papercrete

[Peter Reppe <reppe@darkwing.uoregon.edu>]

Dear all,
Does anybody on this list have experience with the use of ground-up,
salvaged gyp board in papercrete, perhaps as a partial substitute for
cement?   
This might be a great possibility for a) keeping out of the landfills
much of the demo'ed gyp-board, and b) have even more post-"consumer"
recycled material in papercrete?

Would love to hear about your experience, and/or do some collaborative
research/testing with you. Please let me know.

Have a great weekend. Cheers,
Peter

Center is starting to fill up (www.lostvalley.org/Papercrete.html).
