We have also partnered up with the paint recycling initiatives, which encourages the hardening up of all excess paint waste and the recycling of the containers. This year we are looking to pursue more of our efforts in the Go Green Initiatives and are passionate about partnering with the right companies to achieve a more clean, sustainable, and bio friendly product that will indeed be Safer for both the client and the operator.
Consumers urged to choose non-toxic options
​
"Occupants of new Australian homes may be exposed to 20 times the maximum allowable limits of indoor air toxics, according to the Greenpainters Association. Studies conducted by the CSIRO show that the National Health & Medical Research council's (NHMRC) maximum limits of total volatile organic air toxics may be exceeded in such houses for at least ten weeks after completion. The most potent sources were found to be paints, adhesives & some wood-based panels.

The Greenpainters Association recommends that consumers and specifiers check their web-site when choosing environmentally friendly paint. There are now a variety of alternatives to conventional coatings. Plant-based paints are made using naturally occurring ingredients, including plant-derived solvents and binders, and therefore do not require high levels of processing. Many of the ingredients are made from renewable resources, such as linseed oil, and citrus oil. This results in better health outcomes, and uses renewable resources for sustainable living."
