Shingle Recycling Committee Update

During our October 8th meeting, special guest speaker Tanya Nash, Director of Engineering at Asphalt Testing Solutions & Engineering, discussed leveraging performance testing to support market development for recycled asphalt shingles (RAS), which served as an excellent preview of the presentation planned for the Shingle Recycling Forum in Louisville. She also engaged committee members and noted that her group's current focus is on the first few stages of asphalt production, with future plans to consider the full lifecycle. 

The committee continues to discuss the potential for using recycled shingles in chip applications and dust control while minimizing deposits in landfills. Heather Schuler and members of the shinglerecycling.org website team, Paradigm, joined the call to provide updates on the site’s significant redevelopment. A website sub-committee is meeting regularly to tackle the reviewing of content, and staff are in regular contact with the website vendor, in order to have the new site and an updated shingle recycler operator directory functioning by the end of the year. Thanks to all volunteers and staff for the many hours of time spent thus far!
