Is GoNano roof rejuvenation eco-friendly?

Yes — GoNano NuRoof™ is USDA Certified Bio-Based, made from plant-derived oils rather than petroleum chemicals. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for pets, children, and surrounding vegetation after application. It produces no landfill waste and has a significantly smaller carbon footprint than roof replacement.

How does roof rejuvenation reduce environmental impact vs. replacement?

A full roof replacement sends 2–4 tonnes of asphalt shingles to landfill and requires the manufacturing and transportation of new materials. GoNano rejuvenation eliminates that waste entirely — extending the existing roof's life by 10–15 years with a bio-based treatment that requires minimal materials and no tear-off.

Is GoNano safe for rainwater collection?

GoNano NuRoof™ is non-toxic and made from plant-derived bio-based oils. After the treatment has cured (typically 24–48 hours), it is safe for standard residential use. For rainwater harvesting systems, we recommend waiting the full cure period before resuming collection.

What certifications does GoNano have for environmental safety?

GoNano NuRoof™ holds USDA Certified Bio-Based Product certification, which verifies that the product is made from renewable biological ingredients rather than petroleum. It is also non-toxic and does not contain harsh chemicals that could harm vegetation or waterways.

Sustainability

The Environmental Case for Roof Rejuvenation

Every roof that gets rejuvenated instead of replaced keeps tonnes of asphalt shingles out of the landfill. GoNano's USDA bio-based formula makes it the most sustainable roofing choice available.

2–4 tonnes

Shingles Saved Per Roof

The average BC roof replacement sends 2–4 tonnes of asphalt shingles to landfill.

Zero

Landfill Waste

Rejuvenation produces no waste — no tear-off, no dumpster, no disposal.

Environmental Benefits in Detail

Keeps Shingles Out of Landfill

Asphalt shingles are one of the largest contributors to construction waste in Canada. A typical BC roof replacement generates 2–4 tonnes of shingle waste. Most of it ends up in landfill, where it takes decades to break down. Rejuvenation eliminates this waste entirely.

USDA Certified Bio-Based Formula

GoNano NuRoof™ is made from plant-derived bio-oils — not petroleum. It's USDA Certified Bio-Based, meaning the formula has been independently verified to contain a significant proportion of renewable biological ingredients. This is the same certification used for organic food products.

Reduces Manufacturing Demand

Every roof that doesn't get replaced is a roof that doesn't require new shingles to be manufactured. Shingle manufacturing is energy-intensive and petroleum-dependent. Extending existing roof life reduces demand for new production.

Safe for BC's Watersheds

GoNano NuRoof™ is non-toxic and safe for BC's sensitive watersheds. It doesn't leach harmful chemicals into soil or waterways — an important consideration in BC's rain-heavy climate where runoff is significant.
