ECO by Cosentino is a durable surface made of 75% recycled content composed of post-industrial and post-consumer materials and is bound by an environmentally friendly resin which comes in part from corn oil.
ECO by Cosentino can be used anywhere you would normally consider granite, quartz or other solid surface material. …more about ECO
The Green Collection
The Green Collection is composed of colors containing 75% post-industrial recycled raw materials.
Polar Cap, Crystal Ash and Starlight are made mainly from recycled mirror. While the colors Luna and Crystal Sand are composed mainly from recycled glass and porcelain. The color Black Forest is composed mostly of recycled glass and quarried stone.

The colors Terra, Riverbed and Iron Ore are mainly composed of from recycled glass, mirrors and industrial furnace residuals and White Diamond is mainly composed of recycled glass.
ECO by Cosentino reutilizes materials that have reached the end of their life cycle, thus saving on the creation and consumption of natural resources. Most of the raw materials used in the creation of ECO by Cosentino are:
Materials include:
Advantages of using Recycled Raw Materials
Post-consumer/Post-industrial Mirror
Materials used to produce ECO by Cosentino are post-consumer and post-industrial waste. The advantage of this is that the material being used has no other lifecycle. For example, every year tons of broken mirror is wasted all over the world because there is no other use for the material.
Post-consumer Recycled Glass
Producing ECO by Cosentino results in the salvation of raw materials and reduction in new mining (3000 bottles equals 1 ton of raw materials). It also reduces the amount of bottles going to landfills, which helps the problem of uncontrolled trash. Every year we expect to recycle the equivalent of 65 million glass bottles!
Post-consumer Waste
Garbage accumulation all over the world is a fast growing problem as consumer consumption increases. The source of raw materials is almost infinite (iron scrap) and it undergoes a burning process that is highly efficient.
Post-industrial Ceramic
Material from bathrooms, dishes, cups, shower pans and defective porcelain tiles. There is no other use for this material - it cannot be incorporated into any other industrial product.
This material is reused in the production of ECO by Cosentino which saves building up tons of waste in landfills year after year.
