plastic redux

Durat solid surfaces contain 50 percent recycled plastic and are 100 percent recyclable, according to the company. The polyester-based material stands up to heat, humidity, scratches, and stains, the maker claims, and comes in sheets for countertops and vanities. Bathtubs and basins are also available in contemporary shapes and vivid colors. Light sanding renews and restores the low-maintenance product.
