Here’s another recycled countertop option for ya….Bio Glass is a solid surface material made from 100% post consumer waste.

Coverings, Etc is the company behind Bio Glass. The Miami based firm, founded in 1998, also has a New York showroom. Members of the US Green Building Council, their ECoverings line of products are produced from naturally occurring elements such as sand and clay.

But back to the glass. The slabs come in 4 colors: Fossil Amber, Ocean Saphire, Oriental Jade and White Diamond. The glass is made from almost 100% crystalline silica in the form of quartz. Here’s a spec sheet with a bunch of info I can’t understand.

Beautiful. Eco-friendly. So, can anyone guess what the down side is?

Bio Glass will set you back over $3000 for a 4×9 slab.

Available at A&K Tile in Brooklyn or a dealer near you.
