Concrete Roof Tiles Manufacturing Process
Low Impact Manufacturing Reduces our Carbon Footprint
Throughout the manufacturing process, Boral Roofing adheres to best practices pertaining to production and environmental responsibility.
- Our products are made locally to service regional customers - reducing transportation costs and emissions.
- Processed water is recycled for reuse in the manufacturing process.
- We reduce the use of cement consumption by using post-industrial materials such as blast furnace slag and fly ash, preventing potentially harmful pollutants from reaching local ecosystems.
- Tile may be crushed and reintroduced into the manufacturing process as well as for use in construction projects.
-
Concrete tiles produce less than half of the carbon emissions of clay tiles and metal sheets.*
