The Zodiaq Terra countertop (at left) collection replaces some of the quartz used in the original Zodiaq collection with glass, at least 50% of which is pre-consumer recycled, according to the maker. The engineered stone material also includes polymer and pigment. Four natural colors are available. Zodiaq is nonporous and, when properly cleaned, does not promote the growth of mold, mildew, or bacteria, the maker says. 877.229.3935. www.countertops.dupont.com.

It can also be fabricated in any shape, and tinted to match any Benjamin Moore paint color. 404.298.4200. www.jaaroncaststone.com.
