  1. Jessica,
    Thanks for this update on IceStone. We claim to be the first and only GOLD Cradle to Cradle certified surface in the world. This is a significantly higher standard than silver. We have to manufacture our product to the highest standards of health and human safety. Our products contain no toxic ingredients, petrochemicals, plastics or VOC's. Also our product can contribute up to 7 LEED credits. We have a highly integrated workforce, and are creating green collar jobs in the inner city of Brooklyn, New York USA.
