Synterra surfaces® redefine sustainable stone with 0% crystalline silica, recycled-water production, and cobalt-free materials — beautiful, durable surfaces made safer by design.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do

It’s more than a goal – it’s a principle that shapes our decisions, drives innovation, and guides our actions. We’re committed to improving the sustainability of our products across their entire lifecycle. From manufacturing to end use, we take a comprehensive approach to environmental responsibility, health and safety throughout our value chain.

Health & Safety

Protecting people and the planet guides everything we do. Synterra surfaces are engineered with an uncompromising commitment to safety—from the way they’re made to how they’re used every day.

A cleaner, safer manufacturing process

Synterra Surfaces are produced using an advanced, silica-free formulation and a tightly controlled manufacturing process designed to prioritise worker safety and environmental responsibility.

Zero Cobalt
Our process contains no cobalt compounds, eliminating exposure risks for workers and end users.
100% Recycled Water
Our closed-loop water system allows us to reuse all water used in production, ensuring 100% recycled water and dramatically reducing environmental impact.
Low Carbon Emissions
Synterra™ Surfaces are produced with a smaller carbon footprint than traditional engineered materials, thanks to efficient manufacturing technologies and a reduced-energy curing process.

Certified for peace of mind

Better Stone® is proudly NSF certified, ensuring our surfaces meet the highest standards for safety, quality, and hygiene. Whether you’re designing a home kitchen or a commercial space, our stone benchtops are tested and trusted for food-safe performance and lasting durability.
