Owens Corning is touting its progress toward a "circular shingle economy" through recycling efforts, including partnering with the National Center for Asphalt Technology to study the use of recycled shingles in asphalt pavement.

Northstar Clean Technologies Inc., a company focused on the sustainable recovery and reprocessing of asphalt shingles, announced it will begin the next phase of planning for its ‘Empower Calgary’ asphalt shingle reprocessing facility in Alberta, Canada.

When it reaches its capacity later this year, the IKO Recycled Asphalt Shingles facility is projected to recycle up to 150 tons of shingle material per day.

The ceremony marks the completion of pilot equipment construction and the official launch of Owens Corning's work to reclaim asphalt shingle components and repurpose them.

A new recycling program from Owens Corning aims to keep 2 million tons of asphalt shingles a year out of landfills by 2030.

The industry goals are to reduce landfill disposal of asphalt-based roofing materials to 50% by 2035 and to approach 0% by 2050.

GAF is committing to "Planet Goals," including recycling roofing materials into shingles, diverting waste and reducing carbon emissions across its portfolio.

For the first time, GAF installed a new roof on a residential home in Tampa using the GAF Timberline HDZ Roofcycle asphalt shingles.

GAF innovates and takes aim at reducing shingle waste with a pilot program and a $100 million investment to scale it up and bring it to every category of shingle.

In a test to demonstrate packaging sustainability, Kraft Heinz transformed recycled flexible plastic packaging into roofing material for two U.S. manufacturing plants.
