Barrett has integrated
Ram Tough systems into the recycling process. Ram Tough 250 is
manufactured, in part, with recycled tires and Poly Felt is manufactured
with recycled PET content.
Ram Tough membranes are recyclable
into high-quality asphaltic concrete for highway paving. (Recycle
Inc. 201-662-3000).
Ram Tough PMR systems utilize
Styrofoam® which is readily recyclable (Natural Polystyrene
Recycling Co. 708-945-1991)
A fact not well known is that
asphalt, by tonnage, is the most widely recycled material in
America.
The Barrett Company is Environmental
Protection Agency – Department of Energy (EPA- DOE) "ENERGY
STAR PARTNER" with labeled products which meet the program’s
criteria for energy conservation and performance.
Barrett offers "odor mask"
formulations of all hot bituminous products to minimize olfactory
objection to asphaltic smells.
Most importantly the extended
service life of Ram Tough means less reroofing, less volume
of roof debris sent to landfill dumps and the lowest life-cycle
cost, conserving energy and dollars.
