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
GAF Energy is transforming the rooftop solar industry to generate Energy From Every Roof™. As a Standard Industries company, GAF Energy works in partnership with GAF, offering affordable, integrated rooftop solar options to residential and commercial customers.
