PaperStone is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and our proprietary PetroFree phenolic resins. Its unique beauty, functionality and reliability offers an exciting alternative to more traditional solid surfaces. Using pigments rather than dyes assures superior UV resistance, color stability and even distribution of color throughout the entire panel. PaperStone is certified to Forest Stewardship Council standards by the Smartwood program of the Rainforest Alliance.
