This paper describes comparison of granite and solid surfaces starting from extraction, production, distribution, installation, and disposal. The excessive consumption of natural resources will cause negative impacts for the nature and therefore the emergence of engineered material (such as solid surface) is expected to reduce this consumption. Natural granite and solid surface have their own advantages and disadvantages. On each aspect, they have positive or negative impacts on the environment, economy, and social. This paper emphasizes the different between those two materials. We assumed that the solid surface has more advantages compare to the natural granite. © 2020 Author(s).
