Dive Brief:
Continuus Materials, the manufacturers of Everboard — a commercial roofing material made of paper and plastic diverted from disposal — will be opening a third production facility in a Philadelphia suburb.
The production facility will turn out about 150 million square feet of Everboard using 150,000 tons of diverted material each year, making it the largest Everboard production site so far, according to the company.
Continuus representatives said at a recent meeting in Falls Township, Pennsylvania, that their planned facility in the state could be one of five new sites across the United States. Jason Burris, vice president of sales and marketing for Continuus, later clarified the company doesn’t have any other production facilities in formal planning stages.
