Divert Landfill Waste
Divert Landfill Waste with Foam Roofing
As Green Roofing Contractors, we conscientiously divert landfill waste in the foam roofing construction process. Also, our product, the Dura-Foam Roofing System, diverts landfill waste for the life of the building by completely eliminating the need to re-roof. See below how we preserves the Earth's natural resources and eliminates landfill waste by recycling, reusing, and renewing.
Prevent landfill waste by purchasing a RENEWABLE Dura-Foam system that will last the lifetime of your roof.
1. Recycle Loose Gravel
Loose gravel from existing roof surfaces is removed and hauled to recycling facilities. This material is recycled as aggregate in concrete mixes and base rock for foundations and roads.
2. Reuse Existing Roof Membrane
After loose gravel and dirt are removed from an old roof, the remaining roof membrane is usually left in-place. Rather than tearing off the old membrane and hauling it to a landfill, Dura-Foam reuses the material by leaving it in place and preparing it for use as a substrate for the new roof system. After being cleaned and prepared properly, the old roof membrane becomes a valuable construction material, saves the property owner unnecessary tear-off expense, and diverts waste from our landfills.
3. Renewable Roof System
Once the Dura-Foam Roof System is in place, it's renewable for the life of the building. This renewing process is accomplished by periodically applying an additional coating layer that protects the original foam roof from UV rays. This sustainable practice virtually eliminates all future landfill waste from the building's roof system.
