I guess that's mainly from a recycling perspective? I've read a little bit about it but didn't find much things about it being environmentally (very) bad.

I would need to check again - tbh I didn't probe loads, they just said it was pretty bad all round and steered us elsewhere

It's less about recycling and the environment and more about the health effects of silica exposure, which is why they have banned it in Australia:

We were strongly steered away from corian by our kitchen company - apparently it's pretty bad environmentally.
(We so far just haven't done the kitchen at all, so the most green option taken instead!)
