Owens Corning Announces Major Shingle Recycling Program
Monday, 25 January 2010 20:57
Announced in time for the CMRA’s 4th Shingle Recycling Forum, Owens Corning announced a major program to promote asphalt shingle recycling. Asphalt shingles are the most widely used roofing products for aesthetics, durability and installed costs. Recognizing the opportunity to provide a more sustainable end-of-life solution for asphalt shingles, Owens Corning’s roofing business developed a program to simplify shingle recycling for its Preferred Roofing Contractors. Through the program, Owens Corning connects roofing contractors with convenient drop-offs and recycling centers run by Heritage Environmental Services. Heritage, the largest privately-held environmental services company in the United States, will provide dedicated, convenient drop-off centers that will recycle and process shingle tear-offs for the materials to be used in paving. The program will begin in Indianapolis and gradually spread around the country.
