EcoTop Takes Cardboard Counters to the Next Level E-mail

PaperStone, the green countertop material fabricated of recycled paper, is produced by a aggregation alleged Klip Tech Composites, Inc., founded by Joel Klippert. Klippert has now started a additional company, Klip BioTechnologies that has invented a additional bearing cardboard artefact alleged EcoTop.

Like its predecessor, EcoTop is fabricated from post-consumer recycled cardboard but it is alloyed one-to-one with bamboo fiber, aswell a renewable resource.

The wood/paper fibers are apprenticed with a adhesive that is 100 percent water-based and chargeless of all airy amoebic compounds.

This adhesive is the addition that sets EcoTop afar from PaperStone. The adhesive acclimated in the after (made partially from cashew shells) is by itself aphotic and appropriately banned the colors in which PaperStone can be produced. EcoTop's adhesive has no blush limitations. The aggregation currently produces the artefact in ten colors including white with custom shades accessible in ample quantities.

Unlike PaperStone, Eco-Top does not accept the botheration of UV achromatize or birthmark with age and the best fibers provided by the bamboo accomplish the apparent awful blemish aggressive and non-absorptive. If scratches do action they can be sanded out with approved sandpaper on an alternate sander or with a Scotch-type annoying pad in the aforementioned way Corian is repaired.


Countertops fabricated of EcoTop can be installed by anyone with abstinent carpentry abilities and requires alone basal accoutrement such as a annular saw, router, and accidental apogee sander. The aggregation says it is the alone solid apparent artefact accessible that can be installed by a non-professional after actionable the artefact assurance which, incidentally, is ten years.

EcoTop is accessible in 30" x 144" and 60" x 144" sheets. ¾" array is accepted but added thicknesses can be ordered in quantity. Prices alpha at $35 per aboveboard foot.

EcoTop is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and will acquire a blooming architect seven LEED credibility if acclimated in construction.
