Whether it’s copper, aluminum, brass, or bronze, recycled metal can add a cool designer touch to any bathroom.  From stunning countertops and vessel sinks to unique cabinet hardware and soap dispensers, recycled metal bath fixtures and accessories can be found at a variety of brick-and-mortar stores and online.  The following manufacturers and retailers offer recycled metal products that are made in the U.S.A.:

• Alkemi manufactures recycled metal countertops in textured, classic, and honed finishes.  The countertops, available in several colors. are made with post-industrial fine flake aluminum milling scrap (35% by weight—as certified—or 60% by volume) and have a beautiful depth that is appreciated when seen first-hand.
• Eleek manufactures recycled aluminum tiles using a finishing process that smooths and polishes the metal, revealing an organic river rock surface that resembles weathered stone. Available shapes include squares, rectangles, frontwrap, and backsplash.
• Eco-Friendly Flooring carries recycled aluminum and brass vessel sinks and tiles in polished, vibrated (matte), or sandblasted (rough) finishes.
• Enviro Bath produces sinks, faucets, and pedestals in salvaged brass, aluminum and other alloys.  Its product line is available in varied shapes, sizes, and colors (like its Aspen sink shown here).
• Rocky Mountain Hardware manufactures its recycled metal hardware line in a LEED Gold certified facility. It offers a large assortment of solid bronze bath accessories made with a minimum of 72% recycled content.
