FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

CDRA and Roofing Manufacturers Collaborate on Website to Promote Shingle Recycling

The Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA) is excited to announce the launch of a fully redesigned ShingleRecycling.org, a comprehensive resource dedicated to advancing the recycling of roofing materials, with a special focus on asphalt shingles.

While CDRA has consistently updated the site over the past 24 years, the new improvements go beyond just content updates. The revamped site features a modern infrastructure, offering a streamlined, user-friendly experience that makes it easier for visitors to find crucial information on recycled asphalt shingles (RAS).

A key enhancement is the updated Find A Recycler tool, which has been redesigned for better navigation and ease of use, allowing users to quickly locate local recycling drop-off points. The site now also offers a convenient option for businesses to add their recycling facilities to the database through a simple submission form, ensuring that the resource remains as comprehensive and up-to-date as possible.

ShingleRecycling.org remains the go-to destination for the most comprehensive collection of RAS-related research, presentations, and reports. Some materials are freely accessible to all visitors, while others are exclusive to CDRA members. Among the newly added resources is a guide for roofing contractors, outlining best practices for properly preparing waste materials for recycling.

The website also features valuable business tools, including a Best Practices guide for recyclers, and a sample Beneficial Use Determination (BUD). A key section of the site is dedicated to specifications for using RAS in road construction, with detailed information on Department of Transportation (DOT) state-level regulations.

The upgrade was led by CDRA’s Shingle Recycling Committee, the industry’s most active group dedicated to advancing the practice of shingle recycling. If you are looking to access exclusive resources, connect with fellow professionals, and collaborate on advancing the future of shingle recycling, join the CDRA today.

"I’m grateful to the Shingle Recycling Committee for their collaboration on redesigning the ShingleRecycling.org website. Our committee unites the asphalt roofing community to share knowledge and strengthen end markets, benefiting our businesses. Thanks to our roofing manufacturing sponsors, CertainTeed and Owens Corning for their support, both in design and funding. Consider joining the CDRA and our committee to help grow the recycled asphalt shingle market." Stated Dan Horton, Asphalt Shingle Recycling Innovator, ASR Systems, Chair of CDRA’s Shingle Recycling Committee

“We are delighted to support efforts to make shinglerecycling.org a powerful and accessible resource for CertainTeed contractors and the industry as a whole,” said Carmen Bodden, President of CertainTeed Roofing. “As we launch our RenuCore shingle recycling technology, we know that roofing contractors need support to recycle asphalt shingles, and we thank CDRA for their leadership and collaboration.”

"At Owens Corning, we are proud to join CDRA in making the world a better place through a shared commitment to creating a circular shingle economy and diverting shingles from landfill," said Laurand Lewandowski, Director of Asphalt Innovation, Owens Corning. "The new shinglerecycling.org is a valuable resource that makes shingle recycling easier for roofing contractors, and we're thankful for the opportunity to help represent their needs in this website redesign."
