Many USG acoustical ceiling panels contain mineral wool derived from slag, a byproduct of steelmaking,
reducing the need to mine and process raw materials and minimizing landfill waste. Many panels also contain
recycled paper. Binders are derived from corn and wheat starch, which are renewable agricultural resources.
The metal in many of our specialty ceiling and drywall suspension systems includes recycled content.
Aluminum offers additional benefits in that it can be fully re-purposed by re-melting and salvaging the metal.
