Nationwide Foam, Inc. Management of the demolition waste stream is an important environmental issue. With over 3 billion square feet of commercial re-roofing each year, the resulting tear-off materials represent an area of special concern. In order to address this concern, roofing system manufacturers and industry associations have worked with roofing contractors to demonstrate the feasibility of reclamation. In addition, private sector entrepreneurs have begun to invest in the necessary collection and processing systems to make this option available to many roofers on a regional basis. However, the recycling service is not yet fully being utilized throughout the continent. Finding a home for the volume of roofing system components that are removed is the fundamental challenge. As more end-markets for roofing debris form, the economics of handling and collection will improve dramatically. This in turn will allow recycling companies to offer roofing material recycling services that compliment a project’s schedule and budget – two necessary elements of a truly robust program. Material is geared towards commercial contractors.
