The goal of this groundbreaking initiative is to further increase the amount of PVC roofing production scrap that is recycled to reduce materials that end up in landfills and get as close to zero as possible as an industry. All member companies of the CFFA Vinyl Roofing Division are voluntarily participating.

This effort prevents over 40 million metric tons of greenhouse gases annually, equivalent to the amount sequestered by 48 million acres of forest—an area spanning eight U.S. states.

This report reflects the company’s journey towards transforming waste into valuable resources through innovative technologies and offerings.
