Silestone Eco Countertops & Options

Many years of comprehensive research and development have gone into a surface that has been engineered to be a state-of-the-art product that embraces sustainability. Eco countertops are a highly sustainable, ecological alternative to similar countertops. They reuse waste products to make sensible use of natural resources that would normally go to waste. Eco countertops are manufactured from 75% recycled materials (25% is a blend of quartz, natural stone, pigments and vegetable resin) and still maintain the design and quality that people expect from Silestone. Throughout the manufacturing process, even 94% of the water is re-used in conjunction with recycled materials:

Eco Countertop Materials
  • Porcelain from tiles, sinks, toilets, and other similar products
  • Glass, windows, containers and glassware
  • Mirrors from dwellings, buildings and factories
  • Earthenware from reclaimed tiles
  • Vitrified ash and waste from blast furnaces and power generation


Eco Countertops boast that they are at the forefront of a new era where ecological awareness, environmental respect, and sustainability all play a crucial role… where life demands responsible consumption, an awareness of one’s environmental impact, and a goal of improving our quality of life. The first step is in the manufacturing processes where recycling is an essential step towards achieving a more efficient use of our resources.

Eco Countertops Production Process

Eco Countertops
  1. The raw materials are supplied by commercial organizations that specialize in waste management. These materials undergo a thorough cleaning, filtering, and grading process.
  2. The materials are then poured into a mixer and combined with exclusive environment resin.
  3. When the mixture has melted, it is spread onto a large conveyor belt and compressed.
  4. The compressed product is treated in an industrial oven for 1 hours and allowed to cool for a day.
  5. The slab is calibrated and polished with diamond buffing pads to create the finished product.
