From bottle to stone. Recyclable engineered stone for countertops.

Project description

Sustainably recycled kitchen countertops

The circular economy relies on the reduction, reuse or recycling of raw materials to create new products. SUSTONABLE is a sterling example of a composite building material minimising waste and making the most of resources. Developed and patented by INNSTECH, SUSTONABLE is a strong stone composite material made from recycled PET bottles and quartz, without the use of harmful chemicals. The material is 100 % recyclable, light, flexible, retaining the looks and feel of a natural stone. It has high impact resistance and flexural strength and can be produced in the form of very thin end products. The company will primarily target use of this sustainable composite stone in kitchen countertops.
