If you’re searching for a new countertop and are leaning towards something that’s a little kinder on the world than laminate or stone, there are now a great deal of choices available that have a good deal of “green” elements to them. In this case, “green” refers to materials that are made from recycled products, may be recycled at end-of-life — or are both recycled and recyclable — or are made from renewable resources. Stainless steel counter tops consist of, on average,75% recycled steel and may incorporate up to 100% recycled content. They emit no VOCs, are non-porous and antibacterial. However, they do show fingerprints and scratch easily. Alkemi Countertops are made from 35% “fine flake aluminum milling scrap” a post-industrial waste products. It is available in 12 colours and three dissimilar surface treatments (Textured, Classic and Honed). Recycled glass Countertops: There are a great deal of recycled glass countertops on the market these days. Each of them has their own distinguishable charm. IceStone is made in Brooklyn, New York. The product uses 100% glass which is other than as supposed or expected bound for landfill, mixed with concrete to create a surface that is twice as lasting as marble. Like a stone product, it does need to be sealed on a regular basis. It is available in a potpourri of colours. BioGlass consists of 100% recycled and recyclable glass. It is available in six natural colours and may be employed for backsplashes or countertops. Paperstone is a material made from either 100% post-consumer cardboard or 100% post-consumer office paper mixed with a non-petroleum based resin. It may be applied for as kitchen and bathroom countertops and comes in a potpourri of colours. |
