IS GREEN BURIED WITHIN YOUR TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE?

Many businesses we work with have developed their own stories of sustainability, ones their customers care very deeply and passionately about. It’s an aspect of “triple bottom line” thinking, or what’s sometimes referred to as “people, planet, and profit.” If your business has an active, ongoing brand and/or social media engagement with your consumers, making an investment in recycling is an investment in that relationship. You’ll have a new and very powerful story to tell about your commitment to your customers and the planet we all share. And while we can’t promise you an algorithm that demonstrates ROI, you’re surely aware of consumers who are choosing where to spend based on the level of corporate commitment to the planet they see. You don’t have to recalibrate everything you do. But providing a thoughtful, sensitive approach to your own reroofing may pay dividends far beyond what you see today.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Tearing off a typical 50,000 sq. ft. roof that consists of single-ply membrane and 2.5-inch foam generates approximately 12,000 cubic feet of nonbiodegradable waste. In a landfill, that produces 390 lbs. of carbon dioxide, and that’s just the debris from a single roof.

• Many types of thermoplastic roofing materials are recyclable, including EPDM, PVC, and TPO membranes. Extruded polystyrene insulation and beadboard, in addition to composite foam insulation and polyisocyanurate foam insulation, are also recyclable.

• Overloading our landfills with nonbiodegradable waste can lead to chemical leaching and contamination of vital water supplies, and can contribute to the pollution of surrounding environments.

• By diverting reroofing waste to recycling centers, we’re not only reducing environmental degradation—we’re conserving valuable energy resources that go into the manufacture of new products. Your old roof will have a new life in the form of new roofing membrane, athletic fields, picture frames, shipping materials, walking pads, and potentially hundreds of other items.

HOW OUR PROGRAM WORKS

When you’re ready for a new roof, we’ll send out a representative to inspect the old roof, and if the materials are recyclable, we’ll let you know. Most of the time, we’ll be able to remove the old roofing materials and send them on their way to the recycling center at no additional cost to you. During the reroofing project, we’ll separate the recyclable membranes and foam materials from the non-recyclable debris. We’ll track the recyclable material from the time it leaves the job site until it arrives at the recycling center, and we’ll let you know how much reroofing waste we saved from the landfill.

BENEFITS TO YOU—OUR CUSTOMER

You are an important part of protecting our environment for future generations. While we strive to give you a long-lasting roof through quality installation and preventative maintenance, it’s reassuring to know that once your roof reaches the end of its usefulness, it can be recycled and reused.

By diverting reroofing materials from the waste stream, we’re making it possible for you to reach your sustainability goals in a way that diminishes the impact on the environment. Our program meets and exceeds most government regulations.

Rest assured that not only will you get a new, high-quality roof for your building; you’ll be taking part in our ongoing commitment to respecting our environment and protecting our resources.
