Sustainability
A sustainable breakthrough in roofing materials
While popular for their classically beautiful finish, natural cedar roofs have two key disadvantages: poor performance and regular upkeep costs. In addition, not all natural cedar wood is sourced responsibly or sustainably, so choosing a synthetic option prevents further depletion of limited natural resources.
Good news! Enviroshake’s products are engineered using 95% recycled materials, offering you a range of premium eco-friendly roofing options for your beautiful and environmentally conscious property.
It’s no wonder, then, that Enviroshake products have become such a popular alternative. With Enviroshake, you can achieve the timeless architectural beauty of a natural cedar roof without the maintenance issues and costs of cedar while improving upon the durability and longevity of your roof. You can also take pride in reducing your environmental impact by installing environmentally friendly roofing.
When it's time to replace your roof, don't think cedar – think Enviroshake.
Enviroshake’s proprietary composite roofing formulation is a mixture of eco-friendly building materials, including postindustrial plastic(s), elastomers, and cellulosic fibre, so that we do not contribute to the demand for new oil.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
Enviroshake has completed an independent third-party LEED and National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Performance Assessment and is pleased to announce that we contribute 16.5 Direct Points and 57 relevant LEED Points and are certified as a green building services provider.
Our LEED assessment highlights a number of Enviroshake’s relevant benefits, including a life expectancy of more than 50 years. Our long product lifespan extends the life expectancy of existing building stock and thus enables the re-use of existing building structures. In addition, the materials used to create Enviroshake products are sourced almost entirely locally to our advanced manufacturing facility Ontario, reducing transportation demands and thus carbon emissions. The indigenous sourcing of our constituent materials means that local constructions can also earn credit by using Enviroshake, extending the reach of our positive environmental impact.
Our commitment to green
Committed to eco-friendly practices, our roofing solutions minimize environmental impact while maximizing durability and longevity:Enviroshake prides itself on engaging in best practices, and we consistently strive to minimize our environmental footstep. Any scrap materials generated during the advanced manufacturing process are recycled back into the system. In fact, the final product itself is recyclable.
Enviroshake also directly diverts any waste materials that are not biodegradable. We are proud that our operation process fulfills all components of the 3R environmental agenda—reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Enviroshake creates products that offer the visual appeal of cedar and slate roofing with many added advantages, but most importantly, it can be delivered to the customer without causing a single tree to be cut down.
