Discover how CertainTeed ensures the sustainability of its products through its manufacturing process and people.
Sustainable Practices
The raw materials, structural design and life cycles of components of buildings all have an impact on people’s well being and the environment. As part of the company’s commitment to sustainability, its design teams use lifecycle thinking to create sustainable products.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Homes is a standard for the design and construction of green homes. A green home consumes less energy, water and natural resources. These homes also create minimal waste and a healthier, more comfortable environment for occupants.
CertainTeed gypsum is part of the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) environment Environmental Claim Validation (ECV) program for multi-attribute sustainability claims for all manufacturing plants and gypsum board products. Its ceilings plant in L’Anse, MI, uses electricity from a nearby biomass-fuel power plant for all operations. Waste heat from the biomass plant is used for manufacturing.
Product Sustainability
The company’s vinyl fence, decking and railing products are manufactured using 100% hydropower. This recycling program has reduced over one million pounds of landfill waste. CoolStar® granule technology and Landmark Solaris® GOLD roofing products reflect more solar energy and radiant heat than traditional materials.
CertainTeed’s Sustainable Insulation® is made from recycled and renewable content, including a plant-based binder that doesn’t contain formaldehyde, harsh acrylic dyes or unnecessary fire-retardant chemicals.
Also, it has established a take-back program for the end-of-life and jobsite scrap vinyl siding to eliminate landfill waste. Some of these materials are reused for manufacturing CertainTeed siding products.
