ECO is a new countertop by Cosentino. It’s not one that I have seen personally, but I have read several articles about it. It is made of 75% recycled materials. According to their website, this includes:
- 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 products.
These items are bound together by an environmentally friendly resin that comes in part from corn oil.
One of the articles I have read on this was from the December 2009 issue of Multifamily Executive where it is touted for its durability. It is apparently comparable to granite for durability. It is also in the same price range.
