I've been looking at countertops from a company called Vetrazzo made of recycled glass chips in a cement base.  Check 'em out, they're stunning -- http://www.vetrazzo.us.  They use all recycled glass in their countertops, and they use flyash or an equivalent material, so the countertops are about 90% recycled material by weight.  I have to admit, I fell in love with the look -- they're really gorgeous -- but they have the added benefit of being the greenest countertops I could find.

Hi,
Canopy is in Portland, Oregon and has been in business since 2004 providing unique and sustainable interior building products.  We're just launching our own countertop products called Wy'East and Wahkeena that are made from recycled and FSC certified sourced wood.  We also distribute DURAT which is made from 50% post CONSUMER plastic and is manufactured in Finland. DURAT is much more eco-friendly than Corian.  It also has a beautiful look to it.  For more info visit our website at http://www.canopyhone.com or send back an email!
