What Are the Most Sustainable Countertop Options?

What are your options when it comes to environmentally friendly countertops? Here are 4 of the most popular materials:

  • Recycled glass: Although requiring sealing due to the porous surface, recycled glass countertops are beautiful and offer variations in appearance. IceStone countertops are one of the most popular brands.
  • Recycled paper and plastic: Other sustainable options are solid surface countertops made from recycled paper and resins or recycled, postindustrial plastics. PaperStone® is one of the most commonly installed brand of recycled paper countertops.
  • Bamboo: Bamboo is another option if you’re trying to stay green. A renewable resource, bamboo is not only eco-friendly but also stronger than a lot of other hardwoods. It can complement rustic, transitional and contemporary kitchens.
  • Reclaimed butcher block: Another material that works well in both rustic and modern spaces, wood can be a sustainable option. Butcher block comprises smaller pieces of wood and can be made from reclaimed or repurposed material.

“ I just want to take a moment to let you guys know just how happy we are with the designs. I was fully prepared to be disappointed because I had wild expectations and was incredibly excited. Instead I was blown away by every design you gave us. Any one of the addition designs would have more than satisfied my expectations and the fact I have to choose between them is incredible. Each one is so different but capture everything I wanted...Thank you so much for everything you have done so far. ”
