Sustainability
As the roofing industry leader, GAF is proud to promote sustainability in all areas of our business. We practice and support new technologies in energy and efficiency, material optimization, and recycling that help conserve natural resources, and we share our knowledge to help our contractors, colleagues and customers do the same.

Asphalt is America's most-recycled material
Nearly 1.9 million tons of reclaimed asphalt shingles removed from roofs were turned into roads in 2015. To support this sustainable practice, GAF created the Certified Green Roofer™ program to provide specialized recycling training for contractors, and foster membership with their local U.S. Green Building Councils.

It’s actually fairly easy. Visit recycling.gaf.com to find a GAF Certified Green Roofer near you to provide an estimate and confirm if the materials on your current roof qualify for recycling. During your re-roof, your reclaimed asphalt shingles will be stored separately and transported to a recycling center for reuse.

GAF Energy
We’re transforming the rooftop solar industry to generate energy from every roof™. Every roof is real estate that can be put to good use. We help roofers and homeowners take advantage of this opportunity by empowering GAF-certified roofers across the United States to install integrated rooftop solar solutions whenever they replace or construct a new roof.
This helps roofers grow their businesses and allows homeowners to have better access to clean, renewable sources of energy.
