This eco-friendly, plant-based solution can help you delay total roof replacements for years at a time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Homeowners today aren&#8217;t just thinking about curb appeal; they&#8217;re also considering the planet. In fact, studies suggest that about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20211014005090\/en\/Recent-Study-Reveals-More-Than-a-Third-of-Global-Consumers-Are-Willing-to-Pay-More-for-Sustainability-as-Demand-Grows-for-Environmentally-Friendly-Alternatives\">85% of global consumers have shifted their buying habits to be more sustainable<\/a>.\u00a0 With this rising awareness, it&#8217;s no surprise that the roofing industry is buzzing about greener shingles. Let\u2019s explore the perks of going green on top and how doing so makes the world a bit cleaner, one roof at a time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Are \u201cGreener Shingles\u201d and How Do They Differ From Traditional Roofing?<\/h2>\n<p>Greener shingles are a fresh take on roofing, offering an eco-friendly alternative to the standard options. Explore the differences between traditional shingles and options that are more environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Traditional Roofing<\/h3>\n<p>Traditional roofs, particularly those using conventional shingles, carry a significant environmental footprint at each stage of their lifecycle. Beginning with production, manufacturing these shingles often requires intensive energy consumption, predominantly from non-renewable sources. This fact contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and leaves a bigger carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Many traditional shingles reflect sunlight poorly throughout their usage phase, increasing indoor temperatures and energy consumption. Once they\u2019re no longer usable, the disposal of conventional shingles poses another challenge. <a href=\"https:\/\/calrecycle.ca.gov\/condemo\/shingles\/#:~:text=Approximately%2011%20million%20tons%20of,in%20the%20U.S.%20per%20year.\">Asphalt shingles account for nearly 11 million tons of waste<\/a> material annually, and most are in landfills because they\u2019re predominantly non-biodegradable, taking hundreds of years to decompose.<\/p>\n<p>Their decomposition can also release harmful compounds into the soil. Overall, the lifecycle of conventional shingles underscores the need for greener roofing alternatives.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Greener Shingles<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike traditional shingles, greener shingles are crafted from upcycled or renewable materials like recycled plastics, reclaimed wood, or sustainable natural fibers. But the benefits of these shingles don&#8217;t stop at being kinder to Mother Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Their innovative design and materials make them energy-efficient, reflecting more sunlight and reducing the heat homes absorb. This factor means less reliance on air conditioning and more savings on energy bills. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/articles\/roofs-can-be-totally-cool#:~:text=The%20higher%20the%20roof%20temperature,by%20as%20much%20as%2015%25.\">Energy-efficient roofs can cut cooling costs by up to 15%<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, with their enhanced durability, greener shingles often outlive their conventional counterparts. This extended lifespan translates to fewer replacements, resulting in less construction waste over time. Opting for greener shingles is a win for both homeowners and the planet.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Roof Maxx: A Sustainable Solution for Asphalt Shingle Roofs<\/h2>\n<p>Roofs, especially those with asphalt shingles, naturally face the rough and tumble of time.
