According to Webster's dictionary, the definition for recycle is to reuse or to process a substance in order to regain material for human use. Metal roofing and metal accessories fits that definition perfectly.
Metal roofing is made of steel which is 100% recyclable and now steel manufacturers are using up to 25% recycled material in their manufacturing process. |
| How does it reduce waste? |
| Because metal roofing is lighter by one tenth to as much as half than most other competing roofing products, it can be applied over many existing roof material which helps keep waste out of your local landfills. |
| How can I reuse metal roofing? |
| A popular trend these days is to reclaim wood, windows, doors, etc. to help the environment. You can also do this with metal roofing.

| What are some other benefits for the environment with metal roofing? |
Longevity would be at the top of the list. Metal roofing is considered by some to be a lifetime roofing product. Many of our products hold warranties up to 45 years, but shouldn't have any problem lasting longer than that. Compare our products to other roofing materials. You might be surprised at how long metal roofing systems last compared to other available products on the market.
Recyclable is another great thing. If for some reason your metal roof needs to be removed, it can be taken to your local recycling center for cash and the satisfaction in knowing you're doing your best to help the next generation. |
