"It's personal prejudice, but whenever I see granite surfaces I think of banks. But the idea of blobs or chips of colour running through a slab of work surface is a lovely one, so why not try Resilica by Eight Inch?" Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen

"...the bench is made from a recycled glass material which can be made up in any colour - you literally choose the bottles according to the shade you want. 'I love the idea of used bottles not being wasted,' says Henri Davies 'I was initially going to make it in recycled plastic, but no one was sure how it would withstand the elements' he said." Michelle Ogundehin

"...the reality of sustainable living doesn't necessarily include ugly, raw-looking buildings. Technological advances are being married to aesthetic considerations, projecting us into a future where most people are living in harmony rather than at odds with the environment. Durable and ultra-stylish green materials such as Resilica ... are meeting market needs." Jill Macnair

"And there was the worktop of my fantasies – made of 80% recycled glass, and as tough as any composite ... the killer factor is: you can make it in any colour. Indeed you can make it in any colour you want – red with blue flecks, or even inlaid with lights. The 'recipe', as Eight Inch who make it would say, is all up to you. Soon I will have a kitchen that looks like Dorothy's shoes and there really will be no place like my home." Caitlin Moran

"One of my favourite features are the kitchen worksurfaces that run through into the living room. Made to order by a company called Eight Inch, they actually consist of 85% crushed recycled glass and, as a personal touch, you can even choose your own composition to create a colourful and durable surface." Oliver Heath

Q: We want a funky, recycled worktop for our glass and aluminium kitchen. Do you know if such a thing exists and if so, where can it be bought?
A: Resilica sounds like the perfect material for you. It's 85 percent recycled glass. You can specify the percentage of colour versus clear glass so you get the exact look you want and the company will even colour match"
