The stone products that are commonly used to manufacture benchtops in Auckland are a natural resource that has to be mined. Therefore, there is an environmental impact caused by the production of these products. If yours becomes damaged, one option you have is to replace it. If you choose this option, your damaged benchtop is likely to end up in a landfill. Repairing your benchtop, on the other hand, will extend its life, making repairs the more environmentally friendly option.
