OmniBoard is made with all-natural materials that do not contain any harmful materials like asbestos, formaldehyde, or harmful radioactive elements.
Why you should encourage builders in your city to use OmniBoard instead of drywall:
A single layer of OmniBoard fits all: fire separation, damp areas, exterior walls, soffits, ceilings and more. Because it has no paper surface, OmniBoard does not contribute smoke and soot in a fire. Ask your Fire Chief to call us for a demo. OmniBoard does not require mould-resistant chemical additives. To keep drywall out of your landfill, ask the construction industry to switch to versatile, easy to use OmniBoard today.
Gypsum becomes poisonous gas in your municipality’s landfill!
When drywall reaches your municipal landfill, it does so in vast quantities. Drywall constitutes about 26% of all construction and demolition debris. In your City’s landfill, drywall leaches toxic chemicals, mercury and other heavy metals into groundwater. In the anaerobic conditions of a landfill, bacteria converts gypsum into hydrogen sulfide, a poisonous gas.
Unfortunately, post-consumer gypsum board is commonly diverted from landfills to be used as a soil amendment in agricultural settings. Rural municipalities are often impacted by gypsum waste from urban areas. As toxic chemicals and heavy metals are present in drywall waste, it is not a good idea to add gypsum to agricultural soil.
Biocides that make gypsum mould-resistant are not good for the earth!
Biocides are commonly used in mould-resistant drywall because paper-faced gypsum can develop mould. When gypsum is used as a soil amendment, moisture in the soil cause these toxic chemicals to leach into the earth as well.
