Kitchen: Icestone
January 7th, 2008
From Francesca
Brooklyn-based IceStone, founded by Miranda Magagnini and Peter Strugatz (both former eco-friendly socially responsible venture capitalists), is the first durable surface to receive the McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC)’s Cradle to Cradle certification. Using super green practices, such as soy-based machine lubricants and day lighting, the company recycles 2.6 million pounds of glass a year in its Brooklyn factory. The finished products are as strong as granite but not as porous as marble, making them ideal for kitchen counters, bathroom surfaces, and flooring. View the range at icestone.biz:
