Ecohaus Recognized with Green Globe Award!

 Ecohaus got some big news this past Earth Day: we have received King County’s prestigious Green Globe Award for being a Leader In Market Development for Recyclable Materials! Our founder, Matt Freeman Gleason personally accepted the award from King County Councilman Dow Constantine. It was a great event! We were all inspired by hearing the stories of the other local businesses who have been forging a path toward sustainability in our region.

Ecohaus has been around for 17 years, buying and selling products that contain post-consumer and post-industrial waste. Our most popular products from recycled materials are our Paperstone Countertops (made from recycled paper) and our Ultratouch Cotton Insulation (made of the waste cotton from denim factories.) But we have lots more! Recycled glass countertops, and tiles; blow-in insulation made from recycled newspapers; flooring and countertops salvaged from old barns or barrels; flooring made from the waste cork of wine-bottle-stopper fabrication… the list goes on and on.

We are committed to carrying products with recycled content because, that way, useful material is diverted from the waste stream AND we can diminish the need for raw material. Additionally, many of these products are made locally – right here in Washington State.
