StressPly Legacy
The Garland Co.
With many eco-friendly features, StressPly Legacy membranes set a new standard for sustainability in modified asphalt technology. StressPly Legacy FR Mineral incorporates smog-reducing granules to significantly reduce smog, while StressPly Legacy utilizes 100% recycled boiler slag. These modified membranes are composed of repurposed polymers that divert materials away from landfills and use post-industrial recycled streams: Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS), plastics, crumb rubber from tires, and recycled mineral fillers. The compound consists of six environmentally conscious raw materials, including a high-strength and puncture-resistant reinforcement containing yarns from recycled plastic bottles. With no sacrifice in quality, StressPly Legacy membranes maintain Garland’s high-performance roofing systems while benefiting the environment. For more information, visit garlandco.com.
SOPRANATURE
SOPREMA
SOPRANATURE MRB 30 represents a significant advancement in green roof technology. This moisture retention board matches mineral wool's impressive water retention capacity while addressing its longstanding drawbacks. Made entirely from recycled polyester, MRB 30 offers a dramatically lower carbon footprint than traditional mineral wool, which requires energy-intensive manufacturing processes. The 2-foot by 4-foot boards are easy to handle and cut, making installation more efficient and comfortable for workers. Unlike its predecessor, MRB 30 can be fully recycled without quality degradation. Whether for flat or sloped applications, this durable board maintains consistent performance under load while providing excellent drainage and protection for waterproofing membranes.
