The Buxton recycled quartz countertop by Cambria contains 59% recycled content, and depicts an industrial, grainy concrete foundation intermixed with daubs of gray and cream and a constellation of white speckles. Cambria is committed to sustainability and offers products with recycled content consisting of reused Cambria natural quartz slabs, pigments, and binders.

Cambria is an American made, family-owned company, based in Minnesota. From slab production to countertop installation, every Cambria purchase invests over 95% of costs back into the U.S. economy. A domestic supply chain, means a limited carbon footprint, compared to countertops shipped from overseas, and on demand inventory. Cambria uses rail, instead of trucks to transfer raw material to their warehouse to further reduce pollution. Through a series of advanced settling and filtering techniques, they recycle 100% of the water used for production in Cambria’s processing and fabrication facilities, saving an estimated 1.6 billion gallons annually.  Located in close proximity to our manufacturing facilities, a crushing facility processes any unused Cambria for reuse. Some of this crushed material can be reused in Cambria slabs and Life + Style retail products such as bookends and coasters. The remainder is repurposed for community road materials and other construction needs. They also repurpose 100% of pallet wood used.

Cambria has an ongoing commitment to reducing the environmental impacts of their manufacturing, and to clean materials. Cambria voluntarily discloses where their  products come from, what they are made of, and where they go at the end of their life through the Declare label, developed by the International Living Future Institute.

The Wrap Fan by Fanimation’s bamboo ceiling fan is on Energy Star’s list of their “Most Efficient” certified fans. The curved shape of the blades reinforces the cooling sensation of air movement and the warmth of bamboo in the blades adds another biophilic element to the fixture. Fans save energy by expanding your perceived comfort range with the cooling sensation of air movement, without actually having to change the air temperature. A ceiling fan in the laundry room can help clothes to air dry more quickly, saving energy and time.
