Eco Countertops

Eco by Cosentino is a company that creates beautiful and eco-friendly counter tops. Its counter tops come in a variety of colors and are made from 75% post-industrial or post-consumer materials. Most of the materials used in their product are glass, porcelain, corn, stone scraps, and mirror. This company provides a use for old glass that can serve seemingly no other purpose. This is no doubt a great encouragement to both hippie and fashionista home-owners alike. Who would’ve thought that such a boring and typical household item could be so chic?
