The term "green" has been around for a while, and is
still evolving. As we look for products that are sustainable, or easy to
replenish such as engineered stone
and recycled glass there is additional interest in where items are
manufactured and the costs of preparing and shipping products to the
consumer.
There are many trade names for engineered stone such
as Silestone, Vetrazzo and Ice Stone. These companies use recycled
mirrors, windows, bottles, metal shavings, ash from furnaces and old
porcelain sinks and toilets to make these durable surfaces.
From a "green" point of view, these products help by
"upcycling" or using materials at the end of their life cycle, keeping
them out of landfills. Engineered stone can costs close to the price of
standard granite .
