Company turns waste stone into backsplashes, pavers

• What: Chunks of granite, marble and soapstone that otherwise would go to waste are repurposed to make inexpensive and green backsplashes for kitchens, paving stones and other uses. The relatively flat slabs of waste granite are cut vertically into strips which, when decoratively arranged, make for a unique feature for a home or business. The company crushes whatever is left into aggregate, or tiny bits of stone used for infill.
