EcoTop® is an innovative surface material that promotes sustainability without compromising quality or style. Also made by the original creators of recycled paper countertops, EcoTop® offers a wide range of colors and unbelievable UV color consistency, from Snow White to Jet Black. The most significant part to EcoTop that separates it from its previous paper-based inventions is that is offered in several lighter colors and has UV stable darker colors due to its clear 100% water-based resin formula, making it the most durable, user-friendly, and sustainable surface material available.

Richlite is an incredibly durable, extremely versatile, and highly sustainable material made from resin-infused paper. Originally developed over 70 years ago for industrial tooling and pattern making, Richlite has expanded into a premium surface material used in the aerospace, marine, action sports, culinary, architecture, and design industries, and in machine shops and automotive manufacturing. Handmade from many layers of high-quality custom craft paper, Richlite’s surface texture comes from the natural variation in the way fibers lay within the paper. Composed of approximately 65% FSC®-certified or recycled paper content and 35% phenolic resin, Richlite’s color comes from a combination of the paper and the amber tone of the resin.

That’s not all... the cement matrix which binds the recycled glass in Rinato also includes recycled fly ash and slag to help fortify the cement and to replace non-renewable and petrochemical based resources.

The Vetrazzo story began in 1996, when a brilliant scientist from Berkeley, California, who was fascinated by the properties of glass, invented an entirely new product. he developed an innovative mix of recycled glass that could be used to create highly durable, beautifully colored slabs. Our artisans craft each individual slab with care, and each piece of glass is placed by hand. Vetrazzo is truly the epitome of advanced design, skilled engineering, and painstaking artisanal knowhow. The result is an authentic work of art that tells a story in every incredible surface!
