New York -- ECO by Cosentino is a new line of kitchen countertops composed of 75-percent post-industrial and post-consumer recycled raw material, including mirrors salvaged from houses, building and factories; glass from windows and bottles; granulated glass from consumer recycling practices; porcelain from china, tiles, sinks, toilets and decorative elements; and industrial furnace residuals from factories in the form of crystallized ashes.

According to Cosentino, approximately 3000 glass bottles equals 1 ton of raw materials. The production of ECO by Cosentino is expected to re-use the equivalent of 11,150,000 glass bottles every year.

The recycled content is then mixed with 25-percent natural material including: stone scrap from mountains, quarries, manufacturing, and fabrication; and is bonded together with a proprietary eco-friendly 22-percent corn oil resin.

ECO by Cosentino’s unique make-up of recycled materials combined with natural elements is achieved through state-of-the-art technology and delivers a hard durable surface that has high stain, scratch and scorch performance. Unlike more traditional materials, it is non-porous and does not require sealers. At launch, ECO by Cosentino is available in two sophisticated color palettes - the Revive collection and the Green collection - totaling 10 individual designer colors, suitable for both commercial and residential projects. It is also available in both a polished and a matte Leather Texture finish.

ECO by Cosentino is available in jumbo slabs of 63”x 128” and standard tile sizes of 12”x 12”, 18”x 18” and 24”x 24”. The slabs are available in 1.2cm, 2cm and 3cm thickness to respond to varying market needs. www.ecobycosentino.com.
