The most sustainable roof is a durable roof which uses the least amount of natural resources. Greenpeace, GreenTeam, and NIBE put forward EPDM as the roofing membrane with the least environmental impact. All in all, choosing RubberGard EPDM is an easy way towards making significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions. It offers a durable, long-term, roofing solution that helps promote efficient and sustainable building practices.
Elevate RubberGard EPDM is an inert material with low environmental impact. No toxic substances are released during and after installation of the membrane, allowing collection and use of run-off rainwater for domestic use (e.g. for washing machines, flushing toilets etc). It can also be recycled and re-used. In addition, Elecate’s EPDM manufacturing facilities have received ISO 14001 certification, a testimony of the company’s commitment to environmental management. Moreover, Elevate offers Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies and product-specific EPDs, which provide full transparency of the material’s environmental impact, with “cradle-to-grave” analysis.
