In a triumph for its sustainability credentials, Neolith Ignea was Highly Commended in the Best Sustainable Innovation category of the Country & Town House Future Icons Awards as part of the B Corp publication’s Journey to Zero initiative.
Neolith was also named a winner of Designerati’s Kitchen Product of the Year for Neolith Calacatta Romaand Archiproducts’ Sustainability category for Neolith Ignea. In addition, Neolith has also been shortlisted in the Surface Design Awards, FX Awards, SBID and KBB Focus Awards.

Each result reflects Neolith’s dedication to brilliance and innovation in creating stunning, functional surfaces that appeal to both designers and homeowners. Neolith continues to set industry standards through its innovative product offerings, making a significant impact in both residential and commercial spaces. The recognition from these awards reinforces Neolith’s mission to deliver premium products that meet the evolving needs of the market.
“We are thrilled to receive such esteemed recognitions, particularly for our dedication to sustainability,” said Ross Stewart, UK Senior Sales Manager for Neolith UK. “These accolades are a testament to our team’s relentless pioneering spirit of offering eco-conscious and sustainable solutions without compromising on design. We look forward to hearing further results of our remaining award nominations in 2025”.
The major standout qualities of Neolith sintered stone are the combination of design and functionality with high heat resistance, high scratch resistance and near zero porosity of its surfaces, meaning Neolith is very easy to clean and highly resistant to staining. It’s also highly resistant to UV, frost and thaw, which means it can be used in outdoor kitchens, which are becoming increasingly popular in the UK market and being adopted into the offering of a lot of kitchen designers and studios.
A Commitment to Sustainable Design
As the first materials industry company to achieve carbon neutrality in 2019, Neolith remains at the forefront of sustainable innovation. Its Ignea surface, awarded for its exceptional 98% recycled content, exemplifies the brand’s dedication to minimising environmental impact while delivering high-performance materials. Ignea’s composition, inspired by Earth’s volcanic cycles, highlights Neolith’s vision for driving a circular economy without compromising on quality or design. In addition, Neolith’s achievement of the Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze certification for a wide range of products—the only brand in its category to do so—sets a new standard for safe and sustainable design in 2025 and beyond.
Neolith’s products combine state-of-the-art technology with sustainable practices, offering a range of surfaces suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The company’s commitment to minimise waste has been certified through the Zero Waste certification, that proofs the company recycles or reuses more than the 96% of the industrial waste generated. 100% of the electrical energy usedduring production comes from renewable sources and the totality of the industrial water is recycled, further cementing Neolith’s role as a pioneer in offering eco-conscious and sustainable solutions.
