Recycled Paper Countertops (Paperstone) for the Kitchen?

Granite countertops are all the rage, and you've probably heard of quartz, formica, tile, and the other common countertop materials, but what about a countertop made out of paper? That's what goes into Richlite Countertops, making them environmentally sound choices.

"Richlite® orders a customized paper produced from suppliers who harvest wood pulp from managed forests within North America. The company goes to great lengths to ensure no old growth or other rare trees are used in its materials. The paper is treated with resin then cut to size and baked. Richlite sheets are inventoried by size, color and thickness in the company’s warehouse in Tacoma, Washington."

The end result is an attractive and surprisingly durable material. The surfaces are scratch, stain, and heat-resistant as well as easy to clean
