GAF Finds Success with Certified Green Roofer Program
WAYNE, N.J. — GAF announced that it now has over 300 professional roofing contractors who have qualified as members of the Certified Green Roofer™ Program. Launched in 2010 and developed with partners like the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA), the Certified Green Roofer™ Program has paid more than $60,000 in incentive dollars to contractors for recycling.
Certified Green Roofers must pass a written test and complete a Sustainability Assessment before being admitted to the program. As a condition of membership, they commit to recycling shingles if they live in a state where recycling is available, and to joining their local chapter of the USGBC.
