Divert Landfill Waste

Divert Landfill Waste with Foam Roofing

Your re-roofing project will provide ample opportunity for diverting landfill waste. Currently, your existing roof system may consist of materials that can be recycled or reused. Also, choosing a high-quality contractor to install your renewable spray foam roof system will cause your property to finally stop generating waste roof material.

Prevent landfill waste by installing a renewable Dura-Foam Roof System
Prevent landfill waste by purchasing a RENEWABLE Dura-Foam Roof that will last the lifetime of your property.

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.
