We are pleased to announce a major new milestone in the development of K inventory. The France UAE Chamber of Commerce and Industry has just highlighted our strategic partnership with Saint-Gobain Gyproc, a subsidiary of the Saint-Gobain group and a global leader in plaster-based construction solutions.

A strong commitment to the circular economy

The United Arab Emirates, host of COP28, are stepping up their efforts toward a more sustainable construction industry, which gives this partnership its full meaning. The country has recently introduced regulations requiring all new buildings to include at least 15% recycled materials.

Faced with this challenge, and given the scale of construction and demolition waste in the country (60 to 80% of total waste, compared with 40% worldwide), Saint-Gobain Gyproc chose our K inventory solution to optimize and expand its plasterboard recycling service.

Ambitious targets for 2025

The project is ambitious: Saint-Gobain Gyproc plans to quadruple the volume of waste processed, from 500 tonnes in 2024 to 2,000 tonnes in 2025. This expansion will come with an increase in the number of partner companies, from 15 to 50, and a presence on around 200 construction sites.

This rapid growth naturally brings more complexity, with more stakeholders, sites and types of waste to manage. This is why our inventory and traceability solution was chosen to meet this challenge.

A solution adapted to specific needs

As Dorian Bomble, Marketing & Specification Manager at Saint-Gobain Gyproc, explains: "What made our Gyproc plasterboard recycling service a success is the management of the drop-off and collection of recycling bags. K inventory has shown its maturity in stock and equipment life cycle management, with a simple and intuitive solution that could be quickly customized to our context. This solution will allow us to manage the growth of this service efficiently and keep full control over the traceability of our waste bags."

Complete, real-time traceability

With our technology platform, Saint-Gobain Gyproc teams and their customers can:

  • Identify sources of recyclable plaster among their customers and optimize collection processes
  • Track in real time the steps leading to plaster recycling, using contactless technologies
  • Generate accurate reports on the quantities of plaster recycled and highlight collective circular economy efforts

A shared commitment to a more sustainable future

As Mohamed KADRI, our CEO, points out: "This partnership is a perfect example of how K inventory can be used to support a more responsible and sustainable economy, while providing accurate, real-time traceability of operations."

At K inventory, we are proud to contribute to the fight against material waste. Our mission is to support companies of all sizes and in all sectors in optimizing the management of their assets and their life cycle.

Beyond recycling with Gyproc, K inventory is a true ally for public and private organizations that want to adopt a responsible approach to materials management.
