Eco Friendly Countertops Receive Cradle to Cradle Certification
Written by Cathy on June 27, 2009 – 9:12 am -Welcome back!
Last year I had done several posts on Eco Friendly Countertops- Eco by Cosentino, which was not listed on the countertop list- is now Cradle to Cradle Certified.
What is ECO by Cosentino?
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.
Materials used- salvaged glass, windshields, bottles, mirrors, ash, stone scraps, and corn.
Green Factor:
- Post consumer and post industrial waste that would otherwise go into landfills
- Every year they expect to recycle the equivalent of 65 Million Glass Bottles.

has anyone used these countertops? I am considering them for new construction – and was hoping to hear from a user.
