Although recycling PVC roofing membranes has been happening for decades, not every commercial roofing contractor is aware of it or has experience doing it. The Vinyl Roofing Division of the CFFA has created a recycling section on its website dedicated to post-consumer recycling. The roofing contractor can find more information on recycling at vinylroofs.org, including an animated video that explains the recycling steps as well as bundling and packaging options for properly removing the roof for recycling. This 4-minute video gives the roofing contractor valuable information for properly removing the PVC roof membrane for recycling.

If the roofing contractor has further questions on how to recycle the original PVC roof, they should contact their PVC roofing manufacturer of choice.
