Sustainability Starts at the Top Austin is a city that prides itself on being "green." From our world-class recycling programs to our focus on renewable energy, we care about our environmental footprint. However, there is a hidden environmental crisis in the roofing industry: Asphalt shingle waste.
The 11-Million-Ton Problem
Every year in the United States, roughly 11 million tons of asphalt shingles are dumped into landfills. To put that into perspective, that is enough waste to fill the University of Texas's football stadium several times over. Because shingles are petroleum-based, they are not biodegradable. It is estimated that it takes 300 to 400 years for a single asphalt shingle to fully decompose.
How Rejuvenation Changes the Story
At Roof ReNu ATX, our mission is to move the industry from a "disposable" mindset to a "sustainable" one. When you choose Go Nano Revive, you are making a direct, positive impact on the Austin environment.
- Reduced Landfill Contribution: The average roof tear-off creates about 10,000 pounds (5 tons) of debris. Rejuvenation keeps that waste on your roof and out of the ground.
- Lower Carbon Footprint: Manufacturing new shingles is an energy-intensive process that relies heavily on oil. By extending the life of your existing roof, you reduce the demand for new petroleum products.
- Bio-Based Technology: Unlike some toxic chemical sprays, Go Nano Revive is a plant-based, bio-friendly formula. It is safe for the runoff that goes into our local Austin waterways and safe for the plants and pets surrounding your home.
A "Cooler" Austin
Because our treatment improves the UV-reflectivity of your shingles, it also helps combat the "Urban Heat Island" effect. A rejuvenated roof stays cooler, meaning your AC doesn't have to work as hard, further reducing your home's energy consumption.
The Bottom Line: Choosing Roof ReNu ATX means you don’t have to choose between saving money and saving the planet. You can do both.
