Wyco specializes in recycling all EPDM roofing materials.  EPDM, ethylene propylene diene terpolymer,  is currently the number one roofing choice of architects, specifiers, and contractors for new and replacement roofing projects. When these roofs need to be replaced, roof tear-offs frequently go straight into rapidly filling landfills, and EPDM doesn’t decompose for 10,000 years.                                                                                                                                                  `                                                                                                            
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), construction and demolition debris accounts for over 136 million tons of waste each year, which is 40% of the country’s annual total. Of this, commercial and industrial roofing is estimated to account for 4% (5.5 million tons) and a significant portion of this is EPDM. The EPA estimates that over one billion square feet (185,000 tons) of EPDM roofing is removed and put into landfills every year. That translates to 33,000 40-yard dumpsters or over 120,000 full-size cars.
