Here at Holthaus Companies, Inc., we make many efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle. In our effort to reduce waste, we carefully measure and customize each roof to lessen excess material. Duro-Last, our low-sloped roof manufacturer, recycles their scrap materials at their manufacturing plants. In addition, Duro-Last is a
highly reflective
and
sustainable roofing
membrane
which also has low heat transfer properties.
This helps our customers improve their buildings energy efficiency
and carbon footprint.
We also strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible with our shingle roofing operations. Along with keeping an eagle eye on waste, many of the existing asphalt shingle roofs we remove are ground up and used to make asphalt paving material. Just think, the next time you are driving on the highway, it may be YOUR old roof you are driving on!
Additionally, both our office staff and crews make every effort to participate in our shop and office recycling programs. Many of the estimating, ordering, packing and shipping materials that we use and receive are recycled every day. It’s like your home recycling program, except on a much grander scale!
