Furthermore, ECO by Cosentino was the most sought-after product at the KBIS. Seems all Medias agreed to meet in the Cosentino booth to see with their own eyes this exclusive « green surface »! The way the product was featured showed that Cosentino not only talks about respect for the environment, they live it. Fragments of recycled material used in the production of ECO surfaces had been disposed neetly on the booth floors making this a very original design!
