Countertop surface materials come in all makes, colors and qualities but only Richlite® stands out for its unique paper content, natural look and warm appeal. It's produced out of environmentally sustainable materials unlike stone countertops quarried out of permanent holes in the ground. We're committed to building products that not only look good and last for years in the home or office but, also, can be manufactured with as little impact on the environment as possible.

Richlite’s Environmental & Social Commitment
Richlite is beautiful and sustainable. It’s unique in that it literally grows on trees. The material is made from pulp derived from certified managed forests in North America. The company is committed to reducing its impact on the environment by practicing sound manufacturing processes and producing products with sustainable materials.

Richlite is the first company to offer hemp-based countertops, a visually unique surface alternative that’s produced from an exceptionally sustainable resource. Richlite®’s hemp counters are made with fast-growing abaca fibers purchased from the Philippines and Ecuador. Abaca is a type of plant noted for its fibers used in weaving. The fibers, commonly referred to as hemp, have been used in textiles for more than 6,000 years. Few textiles are as strong or as long lasting as hemp. Today more than 25,000 products, including monetary currency and now countertops are made with the fibers.

Richlite supports and contributes to a variety of local charitable organizations in the Puget Sound region. In particular, the company donates supplies to Habitat for Humanity® and provides thousands of pounds of paper left over from the manufacturing process to the Tacoma school districts in Pierce County, Wash., for students to use in their art classes. Community giving is a core value of Richlite’s business mission.
