While researching alternative counter tops for a kitchen remodel, I came accross a great product called Eco Top by Klip Tech.  The surface is made from a blend of bamboo fiber, and FSC certified post consumer recycled paper.  It is also bound with a 100% water based system.  Along with being sustainable, Eco Top is very durable.  It can take heat up to 360 degrees, and it can be sanded or cut without breaking or cracking.

Although it will last as long as your home, if you ever decided to replace it, it can be used for bio fuel production.  Eco Top won the 2009 Bloom award for innovative materials, and was named by Sustainable Industries Magazine one of the top ten Green building products of 2008.  Eco Top comes in a variety of colors that can make it easily blend with many design styles.  Below are some installation examples.  For more information go to www.kliptech.com/ecotop.html
