Select Corian® Solid Surface colors contain at least 6% and as much as 14% recycled material and are certified by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) for stated recycled content. Corian®️ Design continues to produce new products with recycled content such as the recently launched collections of Corian® Solid Surface Terrains (includes Stonique, Excavage, Archeologic, and Pebble Lane) and Terrazzos (includes Peppered Terrazzo and Laguna Terrazzo). These on-trend aesthetics provide the high-performance benefits of Solid Surface combined with the desired recycled content to meet the growing needs of providing sustainable products and solutions to the construction market space. 

Corian® Design is continuously innovating to reduce waste and deliver solutions that incorporate postconsumer and post-industrial recycled content into our product offering, to achieve sustainable design without sacrificing durability or beauty.

Corian® Design is committed to using innovation expertise to reduce the environmental impact of its products and operations. Here are some of the ways we do this:

• Suppliers and raw materials are chosen responsibly, using pigments free of heavy metals and toxins.
• Pre-consumer waste in manufacturing is reduced and recycled into new products, eliminating it going to landfill since 2011.
• The process water used at our Corian® Quartz facility is recycled.
• 100% of the electricity used to make our products in our North American facilities comes from renewable energy sources.

In addition, Corian® Design products have Product-Specific Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), giving you the most credible, independently verified information about the life cycle environmental impact of each, and Health Product Declarations (HPDs) that provide information about human and environmental health. In a drive toward zero sample waste, we’ve updated our sample program to help keep materials out of the landfill by facilitating the return of unused samples for recycling. We’ve also introduced the Corian® Design Visualizer, a digital approach to viewing the stunning array of Corian® Design aesthetics in your own space. Check out the Corian® Design Visualizer app on either the App Store or Google Play. These solutions enable a flexible and sustainable buying experience while reducing sample waste.
