Problem
Millions of tons of waste asphalt shingles are dumped into North American landfills each year, representing a significant environmental burden and the equivalent of 20 million barrels of oil. This disposal method wastes valuable resources and contributes to environmental pollution.
Solution
Sky Quarry utilizes its patented ECOSolv technology to recycle waste asphalt shingles into sustainable oil and other valuable resources, achieving a material recovery rate of up to 95%. The closed-loop recycling process recovers both material and oil, while recycling up to 99% of its solvent and recovering up to 99% of hydrocarbons. This approach reduces landfill waste, minimizes emissions, and conserves resources by transforming waste into energy.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes waste management companies, roofing contractors, government entities, and other organizations seeking sustainable and cost-effective solutions for asphalt shingle disposal.
Features
