What is ECO™ by Cosentino?

Global Granite & Marble is proud to offer ECO by Cosentino as one of its many green products. ECO by Cosentino is a durable surface made of 75% recycled content composed of post-industrial or postconsumer materials and is bound by an environmentally friendly resin which comes in part from corn oil.

Raw Materials

There are other eco-friendly surfacing materials in the market today, but no other like ECO by Cosentino.

Most of the raw materials used in the creation of ECO are:

  • Porcelain
  • Mirror
  • Glass
  • Corn Based Resin
  • Crystallized Ash
  • Stone Scraps

Manufacturing Process

Anyone can talk about respect for the environment. ECO by Cosentino lives it. ECO by Cosentino is a new surfacing product which combines performance and design through the use of innovative technology and recycled materials.

In every step of production, from extraction to manufacturing to installation, Cosentino is committed to respect and protect our environment. During the manufacturing process of ECO, 94% of the water used is recycled, thus minimizing the consumption of a very important resource. All of the minerals used in the production of ECO come from quarries that are fully restored under strict stewardship programs and the manufacturing process is strictly controlled to avoid emissions of any harmful particles into the air.
