- Eye-catching aesthetics and a low environmental footprint make a combination that appeals to pros and consumers alike. Eco by Cosentino countertops are made with 75 percent post-industrial and post-consumer recycled content, including salvaged mirrors; window and bottle glass; salvaged porcelain; and industrial furnace residuals. The remainder is stone scrap bonded with 22 percent corn oil resin. "Eco is most appealing because of its high percentage of recycled content, the non use of petroleum resin, and the durability," said Matt Klein, owner of Klein's Custom Countertops, in a testimonial. "With Eco by Cosentino, we now are able to truly market ourselves as an environmentally friendly shop." The material is non-porous; requires no sealers; and has high stain, scratch, and scorch performance, the firm says. It has earned Greenguard and Cradle to Cradle Silver certifications. Cost: $68 to $118 per square foot, depending on thickness and color. 866-579-4326. More
