Abstract
Muncipalities are increasingly limiting the disposal of construction waste. As roofing material makes up a significant part of construction demolition waste, consultants and other designers need to know the current state of the art regarding both post-industrial and post-consumer recycling of roofing materials. Case studies will illustrate what can be achieved in recycling various insulation materials and thermoplastic membranes during construction and at the end of service life. Obstacles to be overcome, potential solutions, and economic viability will also be addressed.
