Sustainability is at the heart of who we are
& what we value.
Duro-Last® Sustainable Commercial Roofs
Sustainability has been at the core of Duro-Last for over 20 years. Our founder, John R. Burt, pioneered the concept of repurposing old PVC roofing materials, transforming them into durable flooring, walkway pads, and concrete expansion joints. Through our sustainable manufacturing processes and the Recycle Your Roof program, we've recycled over 100 million pounds of PVC. These materials have found new life in projects ranging from Build-A-Bears across the U.S. to flooring in the Sphere in Las Vegas and the White House in Washington, D.C.
As a leader in sustainability, we were the first to publish a product-specific Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for single-ply PVC roofing membranes, further cementing our commitment to a greener future.
By choosing Duro-Last Roofing, you are not just investing in a superior roofing system; you are also supporting sustainable practices that benefit our planet. Together, we can build a greener future, one roof at a time.

At the Knox County Schools June Board meeting, some fantastic news was announced. The Girdler Elementary School re-roof project was recently completed. The existing Duro-Last roofing membrane had admirability served the Girdler Elementary School for over 20 years and has been replaced with a new Duro-Last Roofing System that will provide another 20+ years of service.
What makes this re-roof project particularly interesting is its impact on the environment.
The installing roofing contractor was JBK Commercial Roofing. JBK working with Summit Engineering's architects in the successful execution of the roof project, was informed by Duro-Last's manufacturer Representative Scott
Crowder that the old Duro-Last roof membrane could be recycled! Scott coordinated efforts with JBK's General Manger Garry Peters in making arrangements to ship the old roof back to Duro-Last for recycling and repurposing the membrane into commercial grade vinyl floor tiles.
JBK Commercial Roofing's President, Brandon Keck, commented "Being a roofing contractor for over 25 years, I've witnessed Duro-Last leading the way in the development of roofing products that are sustainable and environmentally responsible. We are thankful and encouraged in recognizing the Knox County Schools by allowing us to participate in making a positive environmental impact diverting nearly 7,000 pounds of waste from a landfill."
