In 1999, Armstrong Ceilings introduced the industry’s first ceiling recycling program. To date, we have recycled over 100
million square feet of old ceiling material. That’s more than 50,000 tons of construction waste that’s been diverted from
landfills.
See the difference you can make with our Ceiling Recycling Environmental Impact Calculator!

Consider the savings of only one ton of material: |
- 456kg CO2 equivalents of greenhouse gas emitted, the global impact of not driving a car 3,675 miles
- 11 tons of virgin raw materials, which saves 1,892 gallons of potable water
- 1,390 kWh electricity, the monthly energy to power a home for 1.4 months
|
This cradle-to-cradle process is a natural extension of our use of recycled materials and environmentally compatible manufacturing
process that reduces our environmental footprint. Join us as we continue to refine and shape the program to make it easier
for you to integrate into your building plans.
