JEFF TERRY CONTINUED...<br />
Jeff: Another good example would be to look at some critical issues beyond roofing<br />
material that goes into a landfill, which the circularity focus is intended to help solve.<br />
We're starting to look at issues beyond specifically where we can play as one<br />
individual company. We're looking at issues in urban heat and understanding that there<br />
are a lot of hard surfaces, whether it's on the ground, on roofs, or elsewhere in<br />
communities, especially in urban centers. What happens in those situations is when you<br />
have extremely hot days and extreme heat dynamics, those hard surfaces really absorb<br />
the radiation heat that comes from the sun and keeps the temperature of that<br />
community at a very high level, both during the day when the sun's out and also at<br />
night. We have worked to create new innovations and new technologies that can reduce<br />
the amount of absorption hard surfaces can take on with that radiation heat, whether it's<br />
asphalt on the ground or dark roofs on buildings, and actually increase what's called the<br />
albedo or the reflectivity of those surfaces that disallow that storage of radiation heat<br />
that then stays for longer times during the day and specifically at night, which is when<br />
the implications on public health tend to be so much greater.<br />
We have the research, development, and innovators within this company that are<br />
constantly looking at some of these critical issues. How can we create products that<br />
help to serve communities better while at the same time really helping to address some<br />
of these critical issues that have a real public impact and public health implications<br />
associated with them?<br />
