Reducing Impact

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.
