Roofing felt waste from demolitions, renovations, and production can be delivered to our receiving facilities or collected by Tarpaper Recycling. It is important that the delivered roofing felt is sorted before being accepted by Tarpaper Recycling.
We do NOT accept hazardous waste, meaning we only accept roofing felt WITHOUT tar, asbestos, and PCB, and with a PAH content of less than 1000 mg/kg. The customer must therefore sign a delivery certificate confirming this. It is crucial that these requirements are met.

The Ministry of Environment’s goal is to increase the amount of waste being recycled while simultaneously reducing the amount sent to landfill. Today, roofing felt waste is either disposed of in controlled landfills or incinerated at waste facilities.
Tarpaper Recycling contributes to this objective by transforming roofing felt waste into BitumenMix, shifting tonnage from landfill to material recycling. This benefits the environment and reduces CO2 emissions.
According to Danish legislation, a waste fraction must be recycled if possible, rather than being landfilled or incinerated.
Tarpaper has partnership agreements with municipalities and companies that operate public recycling centers. Delivery and transport can either be carried out by the customer or by Tarpaper Recycling. To ensure correct quality upon receiving the roofing felt, the customer can download our sorting guide for assistance. The quality guide must be presented upon delivery.
The most cost-effective transport is achieved if the customer has a machine with a grab available on-site, allowing Tarpaper to transport with return trucks. The cheapest solution is a full load of approximately 30 tons.
Tarpaper has partnership agreements with several demolition companies. When municipalities issue demolition permits, roofing felt is directed to Tarpaper Recycling. A quality certificate must be completed upon delivery (see delivery certificate).

High-quality BitumenMix is sold for asphalt production. The product is typically made from roofing felt from demolitions that has been crushed and delivered in bulk with a granulate size of 0-14 mm.
The material contains 55% bitumen, with the rest being fibers and small stones, which also make it ideal for asphalt production.
Practical arrangements
It is fed through a set-up feeder at the asphalt plant. Delivered in bulk using tipper or working floor trucks. BitumenMix is sold with an approved CE mark.
High-quality bitumen is sold for roofing felt production. The product typically comes from new production surplus from roofing felt manufacturers.
The BitumenMix will contain approximately 58% bitumen, with a granulate size between 0-14 mm. Prior to delivery, grain size and bitumen percentage analyses will be conducted. The BitumenMix will be delivered with an approved CE certificate.
Practical arrangements
Delivered on pallets in 20 to 50 kg sacks and/or in big bags. Delivered in bulk using tipper or working floor trucks. Delivered just in time.
At Tarpaper Recycling, we place a strong emphasis on quality. Therefore, we continuously test and document the properties of BitumenMix so that customers can feel confident and assured that the quality is up to standard. See, for example:

Our processes for bitumen recycling are in compliance with the Environmental Protection Act, which regulates the handling of waste and pollution. Read more about the legislation here.
Using virgin bitumen: 1000 kg – 860 kg CO2.
Using bitumen from BitumenMix: 1000 kg + 2000 kg CO2.
Total saving: 2860 kg CO2.
By reusing bitumen from used roofing felt in the local area, bitumen does not need to be transported from distant parts of the world, resulting in a significant reduction in environmental impact. Using our innovative process, we transform the collected roofing felt into the raw material BitumenMix, which can be 100% recycled.
By converting the collected roofing felt into the raw material BitumenMix, there is no waste in the production. The product can be used as a binder for the production of roofing felt and asphalt.
Tarpaper Recycling is among the first in the world to systematically establish a recycling process for roofing felt waste. There is a significant environmental benefit in being able to offer waste producers disposal of roofing felt waste for recycling.
At Tarpaper Recycling, we are proud to showcase that we have a CE Certification, which you can read more about on the “CE Certification” page. We hold the Certificate of Conformity of the Factory. On the page, you can also download our certificate.
Our innovative and patented method makes the recycling of roofing felt in asphalt production possible, which is greatly beneficial to the environment. By processing used or surplus roofing felt, we contribute to making asphalt production more environmentally friendly, with a significant environmental benefit.
BitumenMix for new asphalt Roofing felt can replace virgin bitumen – depending on the type of asphalt being produced, 2-3% of bitumen can be replaced with BitumenMix.
BitumenMix for new roofing felt Recycled bitumen can replace virgin bitumen in the production of new roofing felt.
This circular concept contributes to a better environment by reducing CO2 emissions, minimizing waste accumulation, and ensuring resource efficiency. BitumenMix is CE-certified and, therefore, an approved product that reduces production costs and has positive environmental impacts. BitumenMix as a raw material in production provides significant environmental and economic savings as a benefit. We directly contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
