Durat Fixtures: Recycled to Last

Durat is a Finnish company whose mission is to unite design and recycling. The company collects plastic waste from all over Scandinavia to recycle into a material suitable for tubs and sinks that is also recyclable--although I can't fathom why anyone would ever want to get rid of fixtures like the sleek tub and sink pictured here! Resistant to humidity, chemicals, and wear, it can be sanded to renew its finish, and comes in a host of contemporary fresh colors.
