Sustainability

Waste generated from commercial re-roofing projects account for up to 20% of the entire construction and demolition waste stream in the US. With over 3 billion sf of commercial re-roofing completed each year, that's a lot of waste headed to landfills.


Alternatively, reuse and recycling will conserve these resources, minimize landfill needs and reduce global warming impacts.


Recycling the insulation and membrane from a typical 200,000 sf re-roofing project will avoid 100,000 lbs. of waste and 41 tons of CO2 from being released (manufacturing & disposal).


Carbon emissions are created at each step in the lifecycle of most products starting with raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation and end of life management. The “embodied carbon” of a product is used as a measure of its impact.


The reuse of rigid foam insulation and roofing membranes avoids another round of carbon emissions that would otherwise occur if new products were used.
