The Environmental Impact of Ceiling Recycling
Armstrong’s 2030 Goal
We aim to design our products to be recycled, reused or repurposed and drive circularity in our operations, with customers and throughout our value chain.
Over 217 Million Sq. Ft.
Ceiling tile diverted from landfills since 1999. That’s enough material to fill Central Park… 6 times!
Lower Embodied Carbon
By recycling over 200 million sq. ft. of ceilings from renovation projects, the old ceilings become a recycling stream for new ceilings and lowers the embodied carbon of the new product.
What Happens to Reclaimed Ceilings
Once mineral fiber ceilings are received at our manufacturing locations, old ceilings are processed and become the foundation for new ceilings that have higher post-consumer recycled content.
The program helps our customers meet their own waste-reduction targets, and we provide a diversion savings calculator to directly measure the resulting environmental impact and savings.
