DaVinci Roofscapes Recycles More Than 1 Million Pounds of Waste Per Year with Net Zero Landfill Scrap
LENEXA, Kan. — Eight years ago, DaVinci Roofscapes began its recycling program. Now, on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the composite roofing manufacturer announces the company has reprocessed and re-used more than 7 million pounds of polymer scrap as part of the company’s environmental initiative.
“As our manufacturing operations have increased over the years, naturally so has the output of waste materials,” said Bryan Ward, vice president of operations at DaVinci Roofscapes in Lenexa, Kan. “However, the big news is that we can recapture almost all of the waste and reprocess it as starter roofing shingles. In 2019 alone, we reprocessed 1,071,994 pounds of scrap materials. This effort has resulted in a net zero landfill scrap from our facility for the third year in a row.”
