• Sustainability has become so much more than a
  mere buzzword in recent years, and even in the
  construction industry, the focus has shifted to
  finding more sustainable building products that
  dont contribute in a negative way to the
  environment.
• When you think that more than 10 million tons of
  asphalt shingles find their way to landfill sites
  all over the US, its easy to see why the
  industry needs to take more constructive steps
  (pardon the pun!) towards reducing its carbon
  footprint and helping to preserve the planet, not
  add to its woes.

• While there is no clear cut way to choose an
  environmentally friendly roof, and some recycling
  efforts arent always accessible, there are a few
  factors to consider when deciding upon a new
  roofing system for your home or business, that
  will have a more positive impact on your homes
  waste footprint over its lifespan. By choosing a
  roof that is more sustainable in both the way
  its manufactured and in its performance,you can
  sleep better at night, and still have a great
  looking, high performing roof.
• Here are 3 sustainable roofing options proving
  popular among home and business owners throughout
  the U.S. today

• Metal
• Both sustainable in manufacture and in length of
  life, you can opt for metals such as zinc or
  copper that take less energy to engineer, both
  new and recycled, than other materials or metals.
  Aside from the manufacture of metal, a metal
  system is extremely durable and long-lasting in
  many instances, you can enjoy the prospect of
  having as many as 80 years with your metal roof
  before it needs replacing. This naturally enables
  you to significantly reduce the cycle of waste
  from conventional roofing materials such as
  shingles.

• Slate
• As one of the worlds most ancient roofing
  materials, slate roofing is known for being
  extremely durable, long lasting, and both fire
  and waterproof. When installed by an experienced
  roofing contractor, like the pros at Atlas
  Roofing, a slate roof can last for as long as a
  century, with minimal maintenance required. Just
  as with metal, thanks to its longevity, your
  slate roof wont be contributing to the amount of
  building waste piled up in landfills, and as the
  most natural product for your roof there is, you
  can make a real statement with a beautiful slate
  roof.

• Clay tile
• Just as with both metal and slate, you can depend
  on a clay tile roof to last a life time and
  provided you choose a high quality clay tile, you
  can enjoy breakage protection, extreme weather
  performance, and resistance to irritants like
  mold, salt and fire. This means that just as with
  metal and slate, a clay tile roof can last a lot
  longer and may never find its way into a landfill
  in your lifetime. Not only that, but there are
  unlimited options for different finishes, shapes,
  and colour blends, allowing for a truly
  customizable roof.
