Asphalt shingles continue to dominate the roofing market. They are used on nearly two-thirds of new homes and roof replacements in the country. Because of the obvious support of many home and building owners to asphalt shingles, an estimated 7-10 million tons of waste is collected yearly.

Used asphalt only has only two places to go: the landfill or the road. That’s why shingle recycling has been developed to minimize the accumulation of installation scraps and tear-off wastes.

Main Benefits of Shingle Recycling

As your local Vancouver roofing company, Crown Roofing LTD greatly supports shingle recycling. This green practice offers plenty of benefits. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling asphalt shingles significantly decreases greenhouse gas emissions. On top of that, recycled shingles lessen the demand on virgin asphalt cement. Since asphalt is greatly used in pavements, you can use recycled shingles instead of purchasing virgin asphalt.

Less demand on asphalt cement means less production, which in return cuts down on waste materials. Additionally, shingle recycling diminishes our need for imported new oil. Imagine how much we can save as a business, an industry, and a country. This will also help conserve our natural resources. Shingle recycling can positively influence your community altogether. It paves the way for the creation of new jobs, which will be helpful to your local area.
