Speaking to one of the workers at the UH recycling station, she mentioned the Tetra Pak cartons are used to make saveBOARD. Thanks for showing where my oat milk cartons end up! 👌🏼

Very interesting! Thanks for adding the extra details and how it's an approved product in nz now.

[@nzbuilder]

No problem

@@nzbuilder Hi Josh. I am from USA. I plan to implement this idea in The USA and in developing countries like Vietnam and Cambodia to help reduce waste in general. Can you help me understand where I can buy equipment for making those boards. Thanks, Josh

[@aqmorisny]

Perfect, Thanks for sharing the adventure.

[@atornekarlmax]

Always dreamt of turning plastic waste into dry wall. In PH there is so much waste and I want to take advantage of that, not for profit but as a means to provide shelter for those people who has nothing to cover their heads especially the elderly. I hope someday will be able to afford or find a cheap way to make dry walling.

awesome project my friend !

[@41DegreesSouth]

Mate - this is so cool. Any chance you can do a video going into a bit more detail showing what it's like to work with? Maybe a small demo project? I'm assuming its a bit like working with plywood? Do you have to countersink screws? do they do a board with a recessed edge where you would tape and plaster? These are my burning questions lol

[@nzbuilder]

We are talking with Saveboard about doing an install on an upcoming project, If it happens I will be sure to post :)

Amazing discovery. Wow so glad to know this sort of facility & product exists in NZ right now

[@nzbuilder]

It really is!

[@marcelnz]

a quick FAQ Josh; why the Mururoa Atoll atomic blast at the end of your video? I took a screenshot of it. *I have my reasons* , for asking and for watching with delight what's happening here haha great stuff. Cheers, Marcel.

[@nzbuilder]

Hey Marcel - I used to say "Boom - thats it" and it grew from there, but we stopped doing it about a year ago

Nice product. It’s just that sheet rock offers a fire rating that usually always specified by Architects. I wonder if this affects this product to be acceptable for the building industry.

[@zephyer-gp1ju]

As an old volunteer fireman I was having the same thought.

[@ThePhilcam]

So what happened. During the gib crisis and why didn’t we hear anything about this option?

[@syedhussaini9211]

Were we can get this machine

[@HindHind-on7jl]

[@goldenbay69]

[@nzbuilder]

Get in touch with Saveboard - They are a really great company who will help you out with pricing

[@kaupoiNZ]

Government should make this compulsory in all new builds.

[@nzbuilder]

[@dcworks523]
