Opal Enterprises, a Naperville roofing company, recently became a GAF certified green roofer.

Opal Enterprises, a Naperville roofing company, recently became a GAF certified green roofer.

NAPERVILLE, IL -- Opal Enterprises, a Naperville roofing company, has recently received its certification as a 'Certified Green Roofer,' from GAF. GAF is the largest roofing manufacturer in North America and this designation means that customers can be confident that they're choosing a responsible Wheaton roofing company when they work with Opal Enterprises.

In order to be named as a certified green roofer, Opal Enterprises completed a number of different types of USGBC-approved training, including how to improve indoor air quality with proper attic ventilation, how to prepare a roof for solar energy and how to implement an asphalt shingle recycling program.

"It is vitally important that Opal cares about each step of the remodeling process. I hate that there are so many landfills being so quickly filled up. Construction debris has no place in the landfills. How fun to upcycle one thing that has reached the end of its life to something brand new and with new purpose!" said Tara D. Opalski, Marketing Manager for Opal Enterprises (http://www.opalenterprises.net/).

Since becoming a certified green St. Charles roofing company, Opal Enterprises has recycled 217 tons of asphalt shingles. The company has hired a local disposal company that serves the same cities, which helps reduce the number of miles driven during the recycling process. The disposal company, Heritage Disposal, takes the dumpsters filled with used shingles to Economy Disposal.

After the waste from the dumpsters is sorted by Economy Disposal, the shingles are sent to another Chicagoland company, Southwind RAS. Southwind RAS then recycles the shingles into road base paper. Opal Enterprises has taken the steps to ensure that the entire process happens completely within the Chicagoland area, which means the carbon footprint of the roofing project is reduced even further.

"We've recycled tons and tons of shingles, but most people don't really understand just how many shingles this actually is -- it's the equivalent of over 120 Toyota Prius vehicles or over 540 cows! If you're in the Chicago area and are looking for a roofing company, ask what they do with the shingles as they're removed from your home. Looking for a company with a green certification to make sure your shingles aren't left filling a landfill is one the best things you can do to help protect our planet," said Opalski
