PaperStone

PaperStone, a Certified (FSC, Smartwood, Rainforest Alliance) post-consumer, recycled paper architectural surface material made with 100% petroleum-free, phenolic resins. Water is the predominant solvent. [ [http://www.greenhomeguide.com/index.php/main/product_detail/411/C158 GreenHomeGuide | Reviews & Information on PaperStone ] ] It is usually used in applications for level surfaces--table tops, counters, window sills and door thresholds.

The recycled variety--its principal form-- comes in two series or standards: "original" made from 50% post consumer water and recycled paper; and "certified", 100% post consumer waste. PaperStone made from original paper fiber is also available.
