Go green with Eco-Friendly Sinks
Vessel sinks are great looking and there some outstanding new materials and manufacturing options to choose from. Look into these materials:
  1. Recycled Aluminum. Recycled aluminum sinks add a contemporary touch the bathroom. In brushed, sandblasted or vibrated aluminum, you can find just the finish you're looking for. The eco-friendly material blends well with any countertop surface and almost any decor.
  2. Recycled Fly Ash and Glass. Get the great look of concrete and natural stone. VitraStone vessel sinks are made from 70-85% recycled content, including fly ash and recycled glass, and bonded with ceramic cement. The result is a very durable product that is twice as strong as concrete, with the same clean lines and dense texture. VitraStone looks equally at home in a modern loft or a rustic Italian villa. A few additional health benefits of VitraStone include innate mold resistance and no off-gassing.
  3. Recycled Copper. This gorgeous recycled copper sink has a warm patina and slightly rustic, handcrafted appearance. These recycled vessel sinks come from reclaimed copper that Mexican coppersmiths collect, melt and craft into beautiful pieces. Even better, this sink is a certified fair trade product.
  4. Recycled Glass. Add some drama to your bathroom with these stunning glass vessel sinks. Bear Creek creates hand-blown glass vessel sinks that are at least partially made from recycled glass. In fact, 50% of their glass sinks are made entirely from recycled glass. These eco-friendly sinks are true works of art, with each one just a little different.
  5. Bamboo. Simple, Durable, and highly renewable. The Moso Bamboo vessel sink can round out the zen like touch to a master bath. The sink is made from the outer layers of bamboo and then laminated for a water resistant finish. As a sustainable resource, bamboo is incredibly durable and long-lasting.
