Recycling Roofing Insulation - Offers Environmental and Cost-Saving Benefits



Construction material waste has come under greater scrutiny as states get more aggressive about recycling goals. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling construction and demolition (C&D) materials conserves landfill space, reduces the environmental impact of producing new materials, creates jobs and can reduce overall building project expenses through avoided disposal costs.

Builders and contractors are being asked to recycle materials rather than fill landfills with construction debris but often find it difficult to find recyclers. We offer foam insulation removal and recycling services throughout North America. We collect foam insulation boards (EPS, XEPS, ISO and composite) as well as membranes (EPDM, TPO, PVC) from tear-off flat roof industrial jobsites.

Recycling the foam board at the construction site can contribute to U.S. Green Building Council LEED points. Builders seeking LEED certification can earn Materials & Resources points for recycling nonhazardous C&D debris.

Building owners, architects and contractors can earn extra LEED credits by recycling
insulation from jobsites.

Our Green Disposal Alternative is easy to implement at a job site. After removing the roof, the rolled membrane is stacked on pallets, the foam sheets are piled in manageable stacks and both are placed on a trailer provided by us. When the trailers are almost full, a member of our logistics team swap them out, leaving no down time.

We offer foam removal and recycling services in all 50 states and Canada. Our service is available daily to meet any job site schedule or contractor requirements. We remove, transport and recycle the foam insulation.

Our recycling program saves money and helps builders meet their environmental goals. When planning a roof repair or replacement project contact us.
