Green Concrete Countertops?

March 30, 2009

CONCRETE — A “GREEN” BUILDING ALTERNATIVE

Making concrete countertops and surfaces locally is a sustainable and green alternative. Compare the carbon footprint of concrete to granite which is quarried in Italy, hauled to China to be polished, then shipped to the United states, and finally trucked to a person’s residence. The materials in concrete are typically all harvested within a local 100 mile radius of a person’s home. Additionally, if a different finishing is preferred in the future, resurfacing can be an effective solution during a remodel avoiding a tear out and eliminating landfill waste. And, if removal is necessary, concrete is a recyclable material.
