Boral Roofing, provider of complete clay and concrete new roof and re-roofing solutions, has just announced that its Cradle to Cradle Gold certified clay roof tile now may provide builders and architects with an added LEED pilot point under the U.S. Green Building Council's Pilot Credit 43 Program which recognizes sustainable products certified by third parties.
Boral's Cradle to Cradle clay tile also applies as a LEED for Homes Environmentally Preferred Product and can be used to garner an Innovation and Design LEED point.
Boral's clay tile solution is the industry's only clay roofing product to be certified by McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) as Cradle to Cradle. Cradle to Cradle aims to eliminate the concept of waste by creating safe material flows that return biological and technical nutrients back to nature and industry at the end of a product's use. The Cradle to Cradle Certified program is a rigorous product evaluation that measures progress towards this vision and assesses products for human & environmental safety, design for future life cycles, and sustainable manufacturing processes.
