Cosentino, the Spanish stone company and makers of Silestone quartz surfaces, have launched recyecology.net, a social networking website to support sustainability.

The Cosentino Group have for many years recycled water and minimised dust emissions in all phases of production, including their quarries, and in 2009 launched Eco by Cosentino, a quartz composite made using 75% recycled materials, including mirrors salvaged from buildings, glass from windows and bottles and porcelain from china, tiles and sinks.

ECO by Cosentino is the main driver behind recycecology.net, which allows like minded members to discuss environmental issues, architecture, ideas, innovations, the environment and arts and fashion, which benefit the environment and our planet.

www.recyecology.net is present on other networking sites including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, allowing different audiences to interact with similar content who share an interest in sustainability, ecology and recycling.

Recyecology features a wall, similar to the one on Facebook, seven themed blogs, more than 70 discussion forums and two audiovisual channels. It also posts news from other websites devoted to the same issues.

There are the interactive features, forums and suggestions from general sites where Recyecology has an active presence. Recyecology additionally allows members to open their own independent social networks so they can interact with the online audience.
