Hats off to Heartland Homes Remodeling & Roofing and ABC Supply Co. Inc. in Columbia, MO. By installing our shingles containing upcycled rubber and plastic along with 3M™ Smog-Reducing Granules on this home in Missouri, they're contributing to a cleaner and greener planet - one roof at a time. 🌍 Highlander® AR shingles shown in Storm Grey #ShoutoutSaturday #SustainabilityMatters @Holcim
