"Green" Countertops

by Bruce Moffatt

We all know that going “Green” is popular in many aspects of daily living.  For countertops, the Green products are generally expensive and don’t perform as well as granite or quartz countertops.  This discourages many customers from making a decision to buy.  However, within the Green family, Eco by Cosentino is the most affordable and least “fussy” material available.  ECO™ by Cosentino is a durable surface made of 75% recycled content composed of post-industrial or post-consumer materials and is bound by an environmentally friendly resin which comes in part from corn oil. ECO is non-porous, never needs sealing and is scratch and stain resistant---not scratch and stain proof, but scratch and stain resistant. 

ECO is composed of:

• mirrors salvaged from houses, building and factories;
• glass from windshields, windows and bottles;
• granulated glass from consumer recycling practices;
• porcelain from china, tiles, sinks, toilets and ECO by Cosentino elements

ECO uses products that have reached the end of their lifecycle - this means materials being used in ECO cannot be incorporated in to any other industrial product that would otherwise collect in landfills.
