Dear Eco-Building Expert


After reading the articles posted on your website, I’ve come to realize how important it is to use renewable, energy saving products in our homes. I’m planning to redo my kitchen. What are the benefits of using recycled glass countertops as opposed to say, granite or Corian?

Nothing shows your dedication to the environment more than using recycled glass countertops and other green products for your home improvement projects. Besides countertops, you can use recycled glass for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom counters, fireplace surrounds, or shower bases, or for any other flat surface, like a coffee-tabletop. Recycled glass countertops are available in a variety of colors.

These countertops are made of a large percentage of recycled glass, so they have a definite impact on the reduction of waste. Plus there is a lot of demand for recycled glass content, which increased during the Great Recession. People are becoming conscious of the fact that they can buy responsibly, and by doing so they can benefit society.

With their range of design and minimal environmental footprint, recycled glass countertops deserve an excellent rating. This product will steal the hearts of the toughest design reviewers and get the attention of the environmentally conscious as well.
