From Black to Green

Global waste is an issue that is too big to ignore. Since Polyco’s inception, we have been on a journey to reduce our environmental impact by developing innovative products that repurpose waste into high-performing, sustainable solutions. As our industry evolves, we are committed to ensuring the future is built on sustainable infrastructure.

Turning End-of-Life Tires into New Possibility

Sustainability in our industry doesn’t require starting from scratch. End-of-life tires represent both an environmental challenge and a powerful opportunity. Instead of sending them to landfills or burning them for fuel, we transform them into high-value, performance-driven materials. Through our patented Rapid Digestion Process™ (RDP), waste rubber and asphalt are liquefied into a sustainable, homogeneous concentrate.

Closing the Loop for Roofing

Polyco has reengineered the way rubber modified asphalt is formulated. Only our proprietary Rapid Digestion Process (RDP) completely digests recycled tire rubber and asphalt into a liquefied, homogeneous state — diverting over 1.5 million scrap tires from landfills and delivering upcycled performance without sacrificing results.

As paving regulations evolved to become more sustainable, the industry prioritized …
