Roughly a year ago, GAF announced a major breakthrough in developing new shingles composed of recycled asphalt content. Company leaders also made a major $100 million commitment to scale the recycling process across every shingle category.
Last month, some of those shingles were installed on their first roofs. Despite the rapid pace, company officials say they have no intention of slowing down. Rather, they’ve doubled down by recently announcing new, company-wide “planet” goals to be in place by 2030. To help understand the initiative better, RC Editor Art Aisner and Publisher Jill Bloom caught up with GAF CEO Jim Schnepper and Chief Communications Officer Andy Hilton to get the latest details.
