Owens Corning has announced that a recycling milestone has now been reached since the launch of the Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt Shingle Recycling Program.
While four out of five homeowners choose asphalt roofing over other materials, there are many factors that contribute to this important investment decision.
My first exposure to the concept of recycling asphalt shingles goes back to the late 1970s, when a fellow named Joe set up a shingle-recycling business in South Florida.
Innovations in unique asphalt shingle design, increased energy efficiency and adherence to code specifications have emerged as key elements in the roofing industry.
