In terms of sustainability, TAMKO maintains a strong partnership with Northstar Clean Technologies( Northstar), a wasteto-value clean technology manufacturing company focused on the sustainable recovery and reprocessing of asphalt shingles.
“ Northstar has developed a proprietary process for taking discarded shingles that would have gone into landfills and reprocesses the shingles into raw materials for use in new shingles and other industrial applications,” Jeffrey explains.
“ Our relationship with Northstar not only helps TAMKO make more sustainable shingles but also diversifies and adds resilience to our supply chain by diverting shingles from landfills. Northstar is planning to build its first US facility that will serve our site in Frederick, Maryland, and over the next three years, we expect Northstar to have several US facilities serving other TAMKO plants.”
