Go green with eco-friendly countertops

The term "green" has been around for a while, and is still evolving.

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 .
