DaVinci Roofscapes uses polymer scrap to make starter shingles

DaVinci Roofscapes makes starter shingles from recycled polymer scrap, using about 300,000 pounds of the material each year. "Every roofing tile we create is 100 percent recyclable, so we are able to reuse every pound of scrap that comes off our production line into our roofing material's starter shingles," said Bryan Ward, vice president of operations. DaVinci pays the shipping for returned scrap plastic within a 500-mile radius and accepts expired tiles for recycling.
