Select MLT roof tiles may meet or exceed solar

indexes of 29, greatly reducing air conditioningneeds.

Reduce heat islands (thermal gradientdifferences between developed andundeveloped areas) to minimize impacton microclimate and human and wildlifehabitat.

Recycling Life

Concrete is recyclable. MLT recycles scrap tile. Through crushing followed

by sifting, the filtered concrete tile content isredistributed and recycled in manufacturing toincrease waste diversion and environmentalimpacts.

Increase demand for building productthat incorporates recycled contentmaterials, thereby reducing impactsresulting from extraction and processingof virgin materials.
