granite and the environment

As a natural product, Granite is inherently earth-friendly. Natural stone offers many attractive, environmentally friendly attributes, including an enduring life-cycle, durability, ease of care and maintenance, recyclability, and quarry and manufacturing best practices.

Conserving resources, preventing pollution, and minimizing waste are some ways the stone industry is working to be ecofriendly through green building.

-Natural Stone Council, 2008

Recycled glass countertops combine recycled glass, cement, additives and pigments. All of the glass used is recycled, and it makes up 85% of the final material. The largest portion of the glass comes from curbside recycling programs. Other glass comes from post industrial usage, windows, drinking glasses, stemware, automotive glass, stained glass, laboratory glass, reclaimed glass from building demolition, and other unusual sources such as decommissioned traffic light lenses. Because of the unique nature of the glass in the production process, every surface has its own history.
usage:
Primary uses include kitchen and bathroom countertops, tabletops, and commercial wall and floor coverings.

Recycled glass surfaces give you an alternative to using non-renewable resources, and provides a new market for recycled glass, including glass that cannot be recycled elsewhere.
