There are many choices when it comes to countertops for your kitchen and bath projects. One Green/Sustainable offering, PaperStone (http://paperstoneproducts.chttp://www.countertopreview.com/countertop-materials/paper) appears to be a viable option. PaperStone uses a recycled paper content and binders which can be a petroleum-free phenolic resins made from raw materials like cashew nut shell liquid to a completely water based binder. It is extremely high, impact and heat-resistant, and easy to clean. Some downsides are that it scratches easy, can show stains on light colors and may be susceptible to UV light. More information can be found on a web site called Countertop Review (composites_countertop_review/om/docs/PSbrochureelectronicdistformat030211.pdf). Although I have not incorporated this product into any of my projects, I am doing my due diligence and plan on procuring and installing a sample in our show room. I’ll keep you posted.
