Why Our Paint Is “Green”
First, our paint is recycled, consisting of at least 99.5% post-consumer material. We take surplus paint and create a high quality, usable product. We therefore play an active role in reducing the amount of paint that makes its way to landfills.
Second, recycled paint has been found to be naturally low in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs, the gases released when paint is exposed to air, are known to reduce indoor air quality. Pigments (the substances used to give paint color) are responsible for most of the VOCs found in paint. Because we do not add pigments to our paint, it is naturally lower in VOCs. Since our paint is made from post-consumer material and undergoes further exposure to the air in our filtering process, a lot of the VOCs are gone by the time our customers take home a gallon.
Third, our recycled paint is currently collected, produced and sold locally, thereby minimizing its’ impact on the environment.
