Sustainability is an essential part of doing business in today’s building industry. PABCO® Gypsum is focused on being a good steward of the environment and participates in activities that benefit the community and quality of life.

Sourcing of Raw Materials: PABCO® Gypsum plants use naturally occurring gypsum mined from an adjacent mine in Las Vegas and outsourced from an external mine in Newark, CA. Our 100% recycled paper for the drywall facings is sourced from PABCO® Paper located in Vernon, CA.

Indoor Air Quality: The quality of indoor air can directly affect the health of occupants. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. PABCO® Gypsum is committed to offering building products that are low in VOCs and tests our products for VOC emissions by using the stringent California Department of Public Health CDPH/EHLB/Standard Method Version 1.2, 2017. (Emission testing method for CA Specification 01350).

Environmentally Responsible: An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is a comprehensive report disclosing the environmental impacts over the life of a product. PABCO® Gypsum has several published EPDs that support our commitment to environmental transparency.

Transparent Material Health: Products used in the built environment should also meet specific criteria for the health and safety of all occupants. Health Product Declarations (HPDs) are the standardized way of reporting the contents of building products. Striving to build responsibly, PABCO® Gypsum has published HPDs disclosing material ingredients openly and transparently.
