Granite goes “greener” with creative use of scrap material
A 10-year-old granite business discovered a brand new use for its leftover material, using granite and quartz surfacing scraps to create sleek new sinks
“The idea for my sinks came from a machine I made to make Lazy Susans from scrap granite,” said Joe Pauly of Granite Wright. “The machine cut a 17-inch circle from a 19-inch square piece of granite. It was the square piece, with the circle cut out, that got me thinking that if I could make smaller and smaller circular pieces, and then epoxy them together, the inside would be the shape of a sink.”
Pauly explained that he has always enjoyed both inventing things, as well as making something from items other people throw away. As somewhat of a perfectionist, he has steadily improved the sinks over the last five years.
