Environmentally friendly 'eco' paints

Eco paints are the first choice of many environmentalists when it comes to redecorating. Just what are the advantages? The list is endless!

Eco paints:

• Are made from natural and organic materials
• Contain no petrochemical solvents
• Contain no pesticides, acrylics, or vinyls
• Contain no fungicides or preservatives
• Contain no alkyds or synthetic colours
• Are better for allergy and asthma sufferers
• Reduce carbon footprints by up to 30kg when compared to painting an average home with normal paints
• Are low odour
• Are produced using sustainable organic chemistry principles
• Can be composted, thereby closing a complete ecological cycle

In a society where people are increasingly taking active steps to reduce the effects on their own environment and on the greater environment around them, eco paints will no doubt become ever more in demand.
