Paperstone is a very durable countertop surface made of 100% Post consumer recycled paper. The paper is pressed with a formaldehyde-free dye and a cashew nut shell resin as a binder under 23 tons of pressure. The result is a countertop that can hold up under much wear and tear.

 

An exciting new material becoming popular for countertops is Icestone® which is a mixture of 100% recycled glass and concrete. It looks and performs like mined stone and is installed and maintained like granite.

 

These concrete countertops are made of sand and gravel from the New River, which is collected during regular, low impact dredging to maintain two dams.

 

Bamboo is an incredible  renewable product that can be used in countertops as well..
