A Recycled Content Countertop That Looks like Granite
Photo from Environ Biocomposites’ website of a Product called Sunset
Just to give you a recap, ThisNext, a shopping network where people list their recommendations for products that they like, asked me to give them a top ten list. (See, “What’s Next in Green Internet Shopping?”) I provided them with a list of my favorite products that I used when I built my house. Number 2 on the list is the Environ biocomposite® product line. (Remember, I listed the products in a rambling fashion, so the products are not ranked.)
Environ biocomposite® products are made out of recycled newspapers, soy based resin, and color additives. According to their website, they offer 8 different colors, such as emerald, lapis, and vermillion. I chose a product called Sunset for my desk countertop. It looks just like brown granite. Why did I choose this product? I wanted a countertop that was eco-friendly and strong, but had the look of granite. According to the literature that I had, the Company touted their product was stronger than oak. The product, Sunset, compliments my cabinets that are a lighter shade of brown.
