Recycled Material

Reusing everyday products for sustainable countertop materials
With a focus on sustainability and care for our environment, multiple companies have engineered ways for everyday products to be reused as countertop materials. Glass and paper are the most common recycled materials used. In the case of glass, the recycled items are combined in concrete and then hardened, like quartz slabs. Recycled paper is layered and then combined with resin to form a strong surface.

Sustainable, Caring For Our Environment

The important point to note about recycled countertop materials is that there aren’t many manufacturers of these products so it’s impossible to summarize the characteristics of this countertop option. While they are perfectly acceptable countertop materials, each company has its own unique attributes to their product that can make it attractive for a home or not. In all cases, these materials are very expensive and often require unique fabrication techniques that often require certification. Alps Craftsman is a certified fabricator for the below products.

  • “Alps was the countertop supplier when I worked for a large builder. When starting my own renovation company a few years back, I immediately went to Alps to set up an account. Their design center is the perfect place for me to bring my customers to pick out cabinets, countertops and hardware. Their process and attention to detail is what I love about them.”

Plus they have a designer on staff that helped guide me through the process, whom I loved working with on my renovation. I tell all my friends to use Alps because it was such a great process!”
