[Greenbuilding] Experience with this drywall substitute?

[Bruno M.]

I'm from Europe so cant say i tried it or used it, but neither can most 
Americans,
since it is not in production anymore.

Even the company website http://www.seriousmaterials.com/html/ecorock.html
changed name ( you're linked trough to : 
http://www.quietrock.com/drywall.html
... Market troubles: it seems :

Here a litlle but inspiring speech of the Ceo of Ecorock:

I have no doubts about the guys intention or motivation etc, but a 
"green" house building product
made from industrial waste ( steel & cement industry) ... ? Is that 
really a heathy choice ?

Then again you don't have to explore this any further since its gone 
already.

Another alternative versus classic (cardboard) gypsum board is "Fermacell"
the cellulose fiber is 'IN' the gypsum board not 'ON' it.
(Fermacell is part of the Xella group who also make aircrete ( Ytong & 
Hebel. ).

Fermacell is available in many countries, but i'm afraid not in the US of A.
