When evaluating a product’s real environmental merit (or lack there of), the true bottomline takes into account material sourcing and lifetime use. The more I learn, the more I value a company like Julien. They have designers who create beautiful stainless steel products - and executives who insist on using 100% recycled and recyclable stainless steel. Last year alone, the company sold over 1,000 tons of stainless steel to steel reclaimers for reuse. Treat yourself to a gorgeous new sink from a company with a conscious.
