Armstrong Ceiling Solutions, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has named Blue Goblin of Atlanta an Armstrong certified construction and demolition (C&D) processor.
As an Armstrong C&D processor, Blue Goblin will collect used ceiling panels that have been removed from commercial construction, renovation and demolition sites throughout the Atlanta area. The company will then process the ceilings and prepare them for shipment to an Armstrong plant where they will be used in the manufacture of new ceilings in a closed-loop process. Armstrong designates new panels made with high levels of recycled ceilings as Ceiling-2-Ceiling panels.
As a certified C&D processor, Blue Goblin in now an integral part of the Armstrong Ceiling Recycling Program. The program enables commercial building owners and contractors to send using ceilings from renovation and demolition projects to the nearest Armstrong ceiling plant as an alternative to landfill disposal.
Since it began the program in 1999, Armstrong has recycled more than 195 million square feet of used ceiling panels globally, preventing more than 97,500 tons of construction waste from being deposited in landfills throughout the world. Ceiling recycling can also help building owners and contractors save money on container costs and landfill fees and can contribute to the new Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) v4 credits for the Construction Waste Management (CWM) prerequisite for a CWM plan and toward the CWM credit for diverting up to four different material streams on a project.
