Paperstone
PaperStone-Certified is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council or FSC, Smartwood and the Rainforest Alliance. It is t“Counter Culture” Extraordinary things can come from ordinary circumstances. A graduate school essay that proposed taking mixed waste paper from a local nonprofit recycling center and turning it into a beautiful product has resonated with people around the world. But it’s not the story that makes Squak Mountain Stone such a unique material: it’s the stone itself. It’s rustic. It’s varied. It doesn't’t follow any of the “rules” established by modern countertop companies: you don’t “fix” it, you don’t dress it up, it won’t look seamless and it most certainly will not look like it came from a cookie-cutter factory. Squak is the “rebel” in the countertop world.
The only architectural surface on the market today certified by these demanding third parties. Most PaperStone products are made from post-consumer waste, recycled paper and proprietary, petroleum-free, phenolic resins. To the maximum extent technically possible, water is used as the resin solvent.

There are two series of recycled paper-based PaperStone products: 1) 'Original', which is made from 50% post-consumer waste, recycled paper and 2) 'Certified', the FSC, Smartwood and Rainforest Alliance-certified product which is made from 100% post-consumer waste paper. And Paperstone made from virgin fiber is also available. PaperStone is the 'greenest' architectural surface on the market today. Depending upon the project, the use of PaperStone may contribute up to five LEED points.
