PaperStone is the "greenest" architectural surface on the market
today! Common applications include: interior countertops,
conference tables, plaques and signs, cutting boards, window sills,
toilet partitions, and much more!
PaperStone-certified is certified by the Smartwood program
of the Rainforest Alliance, to Forest Stewardship Council
standards.
PaperStone is made from post-consumer waste, recycled paper, and
priorietary, petroleum-free phenolic resins made from raw materials
like cashew nut shell liquid. Pigments assure superior UV resistance,
color stability, and even color distribution throughout the entire
panel and can handle up to 350 degrees of direct heat!

There are two (2) series of recycled paper based PaperStone products:
1 - 'Original' which is made from 100% post-consumer recycled cardboard
2 - 'Certified' which is made from 100% post-consumer office paper
PaperStone standard panel sizes are 60" x 144" in standard thicknesses of 3/4", 1", and 1 1/4".
Environmental Impact Statistics
Depending upon the project, the use of PaperStone may contribute towards seven (7) LEED credits in the
categories of Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality and Innovation and Design Process.
PaperStone has been thoroughly tested and certified as a non-detectable for formaldehyde by the most
demanding test available, the so-called desiccant method test. A 1" x 60" x 144" slab of PaperStone Certified
(versus a regular phenolic composite manufactured from virgin fiber and a regular, commercially available,
solvent-base resin) saves:
1233 gallons of water | 2.03 million BTU's of energy | 131 pounds of solid waste | 254 pounds of greenhouse
gases | 55 pounds of petroleum-based phenol | 22 pounds of natural gas-based methanol
PaperStone has a Class A fire rating.
