Not all gypsum board waste can be recycled. On top of that, some landfill operators and municipalities, due to a shortage of landfill space, are no longer accepting gypsum waste of any kind. According to Michigan.gov, "Gypsum wallboard is one of the largest waste components in residential construction. The United States produces approximately 15 million tons of new drywall per year. Approximately 12 percent of new construction drywall is wasted during installation." So, enter the I-Clip. The Infinity Clip, otherwise known as the I-Clip, is a system created to reduce the cost of labor and material wastes while revolutionizing drywall installation in hopes to eliminate material waste in landfills.
