English

Subject field(s)
  • Road Construction Materials
  • Waste Management
DEF

An asphalt shingle that has been removed from a roof during demolition or renovation projects.

CONT

The shingle recycling trend is catching on. The 2014 [survey] indicates that the use of both manufacturing waste and post-consumer shingles in asphalt mixtures increased to an all-time high of nearly 2 million tons in 2014, almost a 25 percent increase from 2013 (1.6 million tons).

Key term(s)
  • post consumer shingle
  • post consumer asphalt shingle
  • tear off asphalt shingle
  • tear off shingle

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériaux de constr. (Voies de circulation)
  • Gestion des déchets
DEF

Bardeau d'asphalte retiré d'un toit lors de travaux de démolition ou de rénovation.

CONT

Dans l'ensemble, la situation actuelle au Québec n'incite malheureusement pas le recyclage de débris de couvertures bitumées et il est vrai que son usage dans les enrobés est sporadique puisqu'aucune usine au Québec ne produit d'enrobés incorporant des bardeaux postconsommation à leur procédé.
