EcoStar Recycled Rubber and Plastic Roof Tiles

Roof tiles composed of recycled post-industrial rubber and plastic may sound unappealing, but with EcoStar products, they absolutely are not. With nine colors and six styles to choose from, it’s easy to satisfy traditional, transitional and contemporary aesthetics. The recycled materials come from car bumpers as well as baby diaper production remnants, keeping those bad boys out of the landfills. According to the company website, the recycled content features “incredible strength and flexibility and provides long-lasting performance”.

Seneca Cedar Shake Tiles and Majestic Slate Traditional tiles can qualify for LEED credits; and the website provides a pdf download that outlines how. In brief, the installation of these recycled post-industrial rubber and plastic roof tiles may contribute toward: Construction Waste Management, Resource Reuse, Recycle Content and Regional Materials - if the project is within a 500-mile radius.
