Reducing the environmental footprint of shingles is a priority in the roofing industry. But what do homeowners think about shingle recycling and the opportunity to divert landfill waste? What are the opportunities for contractors to address market demand, nurture their reputation in the market and reduce the environmental impact of their business?
Each year, 12 to 13 million tons of shingle waste is generated. At least 90% of that waste is sent to landfill. The Roofing industry has committed to being part of the solution – and recent data indicates that homeowners want to share in our commitment.
