are getting the best of the best not only from a
quality and design perspective but also from an
environmental standpoint, and we're not afraid to
take risks to push the industry forward. "
Th at attitude is exemplifi ed in the new HybriQ
by Silestone. A high-performance blend of premium
minerals, quartz and a minimum of 20%
recycled materials, it is a departure for the North
American market in particular, where quartz remains
one of the most popular surfacing materials.
Cosentino invested more than $12 million
and more than 1,200 hours of research and development
in HybriQ. It has a sustainable manufacturing
process that uses 99% reused water,
100% renewable electric energy and produces
zero water waste. Th e technology is also transferrable;
in February 2022, the goal to have 100% of
all Silestone colors manufactured by Cosentino
produced with HybriQ was reached.
HybriQ is the latest sustainability initiative
Cosentino has developed over the years. Sunlit
Days, launched in 2021, marked Silestone's fi rstever
carbon-neutral collection. It continued the
eco-conscious standard set by the Dekton brand
in 2020, where carbon neutrality was achieved
throughout the entire life cycle of the product -
from the extraction of the raw materials to the
end of its life.
Cosentino's manufacturing facilities are also
focused on sustainable practices. Its onsite waste
management and recovery plant is designed with
a " zero waste " approach to water, reduces energy
consumption in the production process and has
an air purifi cation system that reduces greenhouse
gas emissions by capturing particulates and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
HARDWARE: GRASS
Many companies treat ecological concerns as an
added cost to production, but the changes made
by GRASS for more sustainability have not
only benefi ted the environment but also saved
costs. For the company, environmental protection
is a fundamental corporate goal, because
it is an important prerequisite for sustainable
corporate success.
The manufacturing plant in Kernersville,
N.C., where GRASS America produces 40% of
its drawer slides, hinges and lifters, has achieved
many of its sustainability objectives through
collaboration with external stakeholders. For
example, GRASS America partnered with its
electric energy supplier to replace fl uorescent
lighting with more effi cient LED lighting. Th is

resulted in reduced energy consumption and the elimination of waste from
spent fl uorescent tubes.
GRASS America also teamed with one of its largest customers to support
its program of converting waste to energy. GRASS redesigned its packaging,
eliminating Styrofoam and plastic so that cardboard packaging material
could be safely used in the customer's state-of-the-art furnace. Th is new
furnace provides heat for the dryer utilized in their fi nishing process and
generates heat for their facility during the heating season. Th e result was
energy savings and solid waste reduction.
Th e packaging of fi nished goods was also modifi ed to reduce solid waste
disposal by implementing bulk packaging instead of individual unit packaging.
GRASS America utilizes reusable containers for manufactured parts
that require outside services, such as electroplating and heat treating. Th e
reusable containers are employed throughout the entire production cycle of
the part - production, outside servicing, storage and fi nal assembly.
CABINETS: DURA SUPREME
Cabinet manufacturer Dura Supreme is located amid the scenic landscape
of central Minnesota. Th e locale is an inspiration for the company's environmental
outlook.
" Protecting our natural resources is a way of life here - it's part of our
Minnesota heritage, " said Tony Sugalski, CEO of Dura Supreme Cabinetry.
" Th at's why we make it our mission to prioritize sustainability and
environmentally sound manufacturing practices as integral components of
our craft. We recognize the value of wood as a natural resource - one of many
we cherish in everything we do. "
Th e company has taken multiple steps to promote health and sustainability.
Th ese include sourcing hardwood from domestic forests, meeting
federal emission standards for formaldehyde and VOCs, incorporating
composite wood panel products that are made with recycled wood fi bers
and using computer-aided cutting technologies that maximize the yields
from raw materials.
Th ese practices contribute to Dura Supreme being certifi ed under the
Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP), which is administered by the
independent Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association. ESP certifi cation
