Gypsum recycling

Why recycle dental stone?

dentona attaches great importance to sustainability and resource conservation. We are therefore pleased to present our new service for the recycling of dental plaster.

Using state-of-the-art processing technologies, our dental plaster waste is reintegrated into the production cycle and utilised directly for the production of high-quality gypsum plasters. This helps to reduce the extraction of natural raw materials, as our recycled gypsum is used as a sustainable alternative in the production of building materials.

How plaster recycling works

A white square icon with a black outline of a closed box secured with parcel tape. A thick red curved arrow encircles it clockwise (starting at the bottom left), symbolising a return.

Collect your dry plaster residues in a sturdy cardboard box. Please ensure that only dry plaster without foreign materials is placed in the box. Wet plaster can damage the box and increase the weight.

A black smartphone with a red QR code on the display is shown in the centre. A thick, red, curved arrow surrounds it, running from the bottom left to the top right, symbolising an update or a repeat.

Preferably use your dentona® plasterboard.
The maximum dimensions for DHL are 60 x 60 x 120 cm and the weight must not exceed 30 kg. Seal the box carefully with sturdy adhesive tape. Scan the QR code on the box or visit www.dentona.de.

Log in to your dentona® customer account or register if you do not yet have an account. Set the collection date and send the request.

Two stick figures are exchanging a parcel: the one on the left hands the one on the right a square parcel with a red border. A large red circular arrow surrounds the scene, indicating an ongoing exchange or return process.

On the agreed day, hand over the box to the DHL driver.

Important information for use

Observe maximum dimensions: The box should not exceed the dimensions of 60 x 60 x 120 cm to ensure safe handling and smooth transport.
Recommended cardboard boxes: Ideally, use your dentona plasterboard (32 x 24 x 35 cm), which is ideal for this purpose.
No foreign materials: Make sure that only plaster residue is left in the box to ensure smooth further processing.
Only dry plaster: Please ensure that only dry plaster residue is placed in the box. Damp or wet plaster can soften the cardboard and increase the weight unnecessarily.
Secure closure: Carefully seal the box with sturdy adhesive tape to ensure safe collection and processing.

Frequently asked questions

What does plaster recycling cost?

Our recycling service is a non-profit initiative for the benefit of the environment. The cost of 13.90 euros plus VAT only covers the recycling process, including handling, processing and transport.

Can I fill the box with more or less than 30 kg of plaster?

The box should contain a maximum of 30 kg of dry plaster. A lower weight is not a problem, but a higher weight can lead to additional postage costs. Please also bear in mind the burden on the deliverer.
