 The paints that are made from non-toxic and sustainable ingredients are known to be eco-friendly paints. They can also be called eco-friendly if they are kinder to nature during their manufacture.

 

Why should you opt for Eco-friendly Paints?

 Eco-friendly paints have a low content of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), which means the paints are safe to use as they do not create any non-biodegradable and non-recyclable waste.

 

Though eco-paints are a little more expensive than conventional paints, many conventional paints give off a higher level of VOC fumes that would lead to respiratory issues for all age groups at some point in time.

 

It is time that we take care of our indoors as well as the outdoors!

 

Benefits of ECO-Paints

 Healthier

 

As eco-paints do not contain much VOC content, they are a healthy option for the environment and the body as well.

 

These paints are manufactured with the help of natural and environmentally friendly ingredients, which is why it is safe for children, senior citizens, asthma patients and also pregnant women.

 

Cost-effective

 

It may seem that eco-friendly paints are a bit more expensive than the traditional paints that we use. But, apart from being eco-friendly, the quality of these paints is superior to traditional paints. They have better colour retention, density, scrape resistance and paint coverage, which would last you longer than the traditional chemical-based paints.

 

Environmental Impact

 

Eco-paints helps by reducing the carbon footprints and are also bio-degradable, as it utilizes water or other environmentally friendly materials as a base.

 

Low VOC Content

 

VOC chemicals are used in most paints and this chemical leaves out an unpleasant smell and wafting pollutants that affect the home interiors.
