This environmentally friendly material is 100% recyclable – composition shingles: zero percent. According to the National Association of Home Builders, composition roofing materials make up more than 5% (1.36 billion pounds) of the waste dumped in landfills each year. In addition, over ten million barrels of oil are used each year in the production of new composition roofing materials.
