by Kevin Cummings | Jun 9, 2022
Environmental disasters like Dallas' former "Shingle Mountain" may one day be a thing of the past, thanks to new recycling technology from GAF. The company is building its first commercial-scale shingle recycling facility in Corsicana, in an effort to divert the 90% of asphalt shingle waste that it says goes directly into landfills.
“In Texas, you’re in a hail belt, so roofs don’t reach their life expectancy for asphalt shingles," GAF CEO Jim Schnepper told Dallas Innovates. "So they get torn off and they get put into the dump at a rate that's shocking."
