Green roofing has many benefits to the environment and also can save commercial buildings money over the long run. The recycling of shingles is also extremely beneficial as countless shingles usually end up taking up so much space that the figures are almost too high to put into perspective.
Every year nearly 10 million shingles are removed from roofs in the United States alone. These shingles used to end up in landfills, but roofers like Republic Roofing and Restoration are doing what they can to change this. In your area, there are around 77,144 tons of shingles that could be recycled. As a part of the Owens-Corning Shingle Recycling Program, they have helped to contribute to the total of 111,175 tons that have been recycled so far. These Memphis roofers are committed to recycling every shingle they can to be repurposed into pavement.
The latest trend in commercial buildings is green roofing, of which Republic Roofing and Restoration can do every variety. Green roofing is also known as a living roof because it is at least partially or completely covered in plant life and a growing medium. There are many advantages to these green roofs not only to the environment, but also to building owners as well.
