Armstrong® Ceilings Recycling Program Marks 20 Years of Diverting Used Ceiling Panels from Landfills
November 13 2019 - 10:00AM
The Armstrong® Ceilings Recycling Program, the first and
longest-running program of its kind in the commercial ceilings
industry, marks 20 years of diverting used ceiling panels away from
landfills.
Launched in 1999, the Ceilings Recycling Program has recycled
more than 200 million square feet of used ceiling panels, saving
more than one million tons of virgin raw materials and preventing
more than 100,000 tons of construction waste from being deposited
in landfills.
An Alternative to Landfill DisposalThe
Armstrong Ceilings Recycling Program offers commercial building
owners and contractors an alternative to landfill disposal by
taking back discarded ceiling panels from renovation and demolition
projects and upcycling them into new ceiling panels in a
closed-loop manufacturing process. New panels made with these
materials are identified as Ceiling-2-Ceiling™ panels and contain a
high level of post-consumer recycled content.
Throughout its 20-year history, the Recycling Program has helped
companies divert used ceiling panels away from landfills, helping
meet waste diversion goals while saving money on container costs
and landfill fees.
Lessens Impact on Environment By finding a
responsible end-of-life solution for its ceiling products,
Armstrong World Industries has eliminated waste, lessened its
impact on the environment, and reduced the environmental footprint
of the ceilings industry overall.
The Armstrong Recycling Savings Calculator helps businesses
compare costs of recycling versus landfilling, and the Armstrong
Environmental Impact Calculator measures the environmental savings
that can result from ceiling recycling.
