One of the environmental advantages of asphalt is the ability to recycle asphalt materials and re-use them. Here is an infographic from
Better Roads Magazine about recycling asphalt roofing tiles in the US. The numbers are huge!
- Over 12.5 billion square feet of asphalt shingles are produced each year in the US - enough to put a roof over 5 million homes
- The shingle roof of an average US home can supply enough asphalt to pave 200 feet of a 2-lane highway.
- Recycling asphalt shingles could keep 11 million tons of waste away from landfills.
