Recent headlines suggesting some granite countertops may emit hazardous levels of radiation are disturbing and have led many people to wonder what a safer alternative to their old standby might be. Enter EcoTop, a line of environmentally responsible countertops that are not only healthy but elegant.
EcoTop is composed of a Forest Stewardship Council-certified 50/50 blend of bamboo fiber - a rapidly renewable resource - and recycled wood fiber salvaged from demolition sites. These materials are bound together by a water-based resin formula that is both petroleum-free and VOC-free. Because of this, EcoTop products can earn you up to six points on your next LEED project.
So let’s review the choices: granite with potentially hazardous levels of radiation, or EcoTop’s chic, durable and environmentally-friendly alternative? Don’t you wish all of your decisions were this easy to made?

We had not heard of EcoTop before, but a visit to their web site was very interesting. If their business follows as simple of a model as their web site, it’s likely they’re easy to do business with.
Thanks for sharing this resource!
