Question

Are there any recycled roofing products that look like composition shingles? Are there any made from nontoxic materials?

Asked by Scott Beeman

What is the construction industry doing to remove composition shingles from the built environment? What substitutes are being created, and are they nontoxic? Where can I get more information on availability and cost comparisons?

Recycled rubber shingles are a great alternative!
