ECOR

ecorglobal.com
Made from 100% recycled, nontoxic, and formaldehyde-free materials, ECOR is a new generation of highly versatile molded-fiber-panel products that present a healthier alternative to traditional particleboard. To fabricate the panels, underutilized cellulose-fiber materials, including postconsumer cardboard and forest and agricultural fibers, are bonded together using water, pressure, and heat to create a material that is strong, lightweight, and easy to shape. full caption

Häfele America’s Frontino sliding cabinet-door system operates on a unique single track that allows doors to sit flush when closed. Unlike hinged cabinet doors, sliding doors maximize available space for those working in the kitchen. Frontino is made of several parts that consist of various metals including galvanized steel and aluminum, as well as different plastics. full caption

The brick uses a range of 30% to 100% local recycled content, and is finished with a selection of nine VOC-free natural glazes. San Jose, California–based Fireclay sources the brick from local supplier McNear Brick and Block. In addition, 100% of all glaze overspray is collected and recycled, and any waste produced is inert and nonhazardous. full caption

Diamond Finish and Eco-Etch Patterns

forms-surfaces.com
The Stainless Steel line from Forms+Surfaces includes various finishes and patterns for wall systems, elevator interiors, and other applications. The company’s latest developments include Diamond (shown, center), a durable finish for stainless steel that features multidirectional lines and faceted shapes that have been tested to hide scratches and scuffs. In addition, four new Eco- Etch Patterns (shown surrounding Diamond) are applied to stainless steel through the company’s advanced photolithographic bead-blasting system, which uses no harmful acids or chemicals and generates no toxic waste.

“The Stainless Steel line from Forms+Surfaces has a dynamic finish that changes aspect with different angle degrees and light.” Sara Demel
