EPDM Roofing and the Environment

The Athena Institute, a non-profit lifecycle analysis (LCA) organization specializing in building materials, recently updated its EcoCalculator to include LCA data for EPDM membranes.

The institute found that EPDM has the lowest Global Warming Potential of any major commercial roofing material. In fact, EPDM can offset its carbon footprint in as little as 15 years, compared to other materials that may require up to 54 years of service life to equal the carbon footprint resulting from their manufacturing process.

So if you are looking for that environmentally friendly option remember ClassicBond EPDM flat roofing.
