There
are many advantages to using natural paint
over the conventional sort. Although natural paint brands have varying
degrees of natural materials (from environmentally friendly to vegan),
the following is a general summary:
Renewable
raw materials and materials that are
found in plentiful supply are used in natural paints with little
disruption to the ecosystem. Minimal ‘soft
chemistry’ as opposed to ‘hard chemistry’
is used to process ingredients resulting in less energy used, less
waste, and less pollution. The packaging used is also recyclable.
Alternatively, petrochemical paints can produce between 10 and 30
tonnes of toxic waste for each tonne of paint created.
Conventional
paint contributes to ‘Sick
Building Syndrome’ which can have a negative impact on the
productivity of a business. Natural paints are as non-toxic as possible
and can improve the environment of a building. In addition, allergy and
asthma sufferers benefit from the use of natural paints.
Finally,
natural paint is competitively priced, has
a pleasant scent, and equals or arguable exceeds the quality of
conventional paint… so why would you use anything else?
The
brands of natural paint available through the
companies / websites to the left are as follows:
-
Aglaia
-
Aquamarijn
-
Auro
