CDRA’s 10th Shingle Recycling Forum highlights closed-loop recycling and end markets for shingles

The 10th Shingle Recycling Forum will be held October 29-30, 2024, at the Omni Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. Hosted by the Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA), the event will unite recyclers with manufacturers, asphalt plant operators, road pavers, DOT officials, technology providers, and more for impactful networking and cutting-edge presentations from industry experts.

Roofing recycling sees growth

Interest in recycling roofing materials is growing because of circularity demands, higher oil prices, and government initiatives. Learn how all stakeholders influence regulation and end markets, from asphalt pavement to closed-loop recycling, to create the next wave of shingle recycling.

Event schedule

The event kicks off with a welcome reception that sets the tone for the forum and provides networking opportunities, followed by:

• Presentations from experienced recyclers and processors, sharing lessons learned and best practices.
• Sessions exploring the challenges of end markets and possibilities from pavement mixes to extraction to closing the loop into new shingles.
• A panel of leading shingle manufacturers will share how their sustainability efforts are helping to close the loop.
• Sessions will cover using recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in balanced mix designs (BMD) for roads with real-world examples to demonstrate the tangible benefits of shingle recycling.

The event will wrap up with a closing reception, allowing attendees to compare notes and collaborate to grow their businesses and increase recycling.
