"Ceiling Recycling"
Armstrong World Industries began
its pioneer ceilings recycling program in 1999. Since then, through its
manufacturing facilities across the US, its kept 35,000 tons of
construction waste out of landfills and converted 65,000,000 square
feet of old material into new ceilings. The program has expanded
rapidly in recent years as “green” building and sustainable design have
grown in popularity. It offers architects and owners an environmentally
friendly way to dispose of construction waste, make a smaller carbon
footprint, and earn LEED credits in the process.

“Ten years ago all construction
waste went to landfills. Nowadays it’s possible to keep 90% out of the
landfills; it’s a matter of knowing who gets what pieces and where they
should go… The whole process of recycling materials has become an
everyday activity.”
Daniel Harazim-Architect:
The S-L-A-M Collaboratie, Glastonbury, CT
“Now, because
designers understand what being ‘green’ and being sustainable is,
contractors understand it, too. It’s come to the forefront rather than
being pushed to the back.”
Anthony Brower- Architect: Gensler
Associates, New York, NY
“We brought this process into our
program in 2002 and have recycled about three million square feet of
ceiling tile since then. It’s something we require our general
contractors to do and we truly believe in the program.”
Mike Eason- Construction Manager:
Food Lion, Salisbury, NC
“A couple years ago we took over two
buildings… it was about 300,000 square feet… and we recycled all the
ceiling product in those buildings. Armstrong was right there to
recycle the waste and provide us with new product for the remodeled
buildings. It was a win-win for everybody.”
