US: Continuus Material Recovery has acquired ReWall, a company that manufactures building products from recycled materials. Continuus uses consumer and industrial paper and plastic waste to produce building material boards for exterior walls and commercial roofs. Its Everboard product uses a plastic and cellulose core.

“With this acquisition we can accelerate waste reduction opportunities through low cost, easily implementable solutions and generate a universal sustainable raw material for a multitude of new products. Design and engineering is underway for an even larger facility where we will be producing hundreds of millions of board feet of building materials, and then we’ll move into other areas,” said Carl Rush, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Continuus Material Recovery.
