There are countertops made of recycled glass, recycled ceramic tiles, recycled aluminum, and other materials that are eco friendly. As long as people want them they will continue to be manufactured for the consumer. The recycled glass countertops are made of recycled bottles, china, and other glass wares. Much of the glass is found in waste water. They are then mixed with cement, resins, or other materials to make a beautiful and durable countertop. These can be made in different styles, colors, and hues to match your kitchen dcor.
Bamboo is a great option to replace wood countertops because once you cut bamboo it can be replanted and will quickly grow back unlike wood from trees. Bamboo is sturdy, and has a Polynesian put over it to give heat protection and stain resistance qualities to this countertop.
Believe it or not recycled paper is used in eco friendly countertops. It is mixed into a resin base. It can be chosen in many different colors and hues. This is heat and stain resistant just as you would expect from any counter surface. The paper comes from recycled paper that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. There are no petroleum or formaldehyde resins used in this process. Many are made from cashew nut shell liquid.
There are wood butcher countertops that are made from the wood of trees that are not often cut down and used for anything. The tree farms are also well managed. These woods are beautiful and make very nice grained countertops which can come in different shades of wood colors. They are hearty and stand up to heat and resist stains.
Aluminum is another material that is recycled and used to make eco friendly countertops. They are sturdy and beautiful. They are great for the newer appliances that are put into eco friendly kitchens as the appliances are often made of the same materials.
These are options that can get you started. Happy hunting and great to be green! - 16492
