We are Pioneers in the Asphalt Shingle Recycle Business
Our purpose led mission is to conserve and recycle, decrease landfill waste and reduce emissions, while developing viable end markets for the waste material that will contribute to long term waste to energy sustainability.
OUR STORY
Sky Quarry is a technology solutions development company created to address the environmental problems created by landfill disposal of waste asphalt roofing shingles.
Founded in 2019 by David Sealock and Marcus Laun, Sky Quarry combines the depth of experience & proven track records of two leading industry executives. David Sealock brings over 30 years of strategic management & business leadership in technology integration & hydrocarbon production; Marcus Laun, has extensive experience in equity, debt & capital markets. In 2020 they were presented with the opportunity to acquire an oil sand extraction facility and after extensive due diligence, they concluded that with the acquisition of this facility they could create a truly ground-breaking company that would fundamentally transform the waste asphalt shingle recycling industry.
Problem
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material in North America due to their durability & low cost. Nearly 6 million homes in the USA are reroofed each year, sending approximately 15 million tons of asphalt roofing shingles to landfills for disposal each year.
Shingles when dumped in landfills take 300 years to degrade and decompose to base elements.
Sustainable Solution
To address this problem, we have developed a proprietary technology that is designed to extract liquid asphalt, break down & recover the components of post consumer shingles. These reclaimed materials: granules, sand, limestone powder, & bitumen oil can used for the manufacturing of new asphalt shingles, paving & construction aggregate, asphalt, & diesel fuel.
Facility
Sky Quarry's main facility, located in Eastern Utah, was built for oil sands extraction, which is very similar to the method we will use to extract the bitumen from the shingles.
It is here that we will demonstrate our “waste to energy” technologies, provide quality, recycled products and substantially reduce the carbon footprint.
