You might be seeking new ways to make your property more eco-friendly. If so, think about using natural paints. Traditional paint often contains harsh and possibly dangerous chemicals. Natural ones are a better option for you and the environment. We want to take a look at the advantages here so you know why to choose them.

Eco-friendly

The first advantage is that they have minimal environmental impact. As we said, standard paint and similar goods often have dangerous chemicals. Examples include glycol, formaldehyde, and xylene. Certain older paints had lead, which we now know is poisonous. Such harmful substances are a threat to the environment. This is due to improper paint disposal and by-products from manufacturing.

Organic paints tend to be water based and made with natural ingredients. Many are also biodegradable. They offer a much friendlier alternative without compromising quality. In some cases they can actually exceed the performance of normal paints.

VOCs

Almost all chemical paints will include volatile organic compounds. They are hazardous and exposure to them can cause health problems. More worryingly, they can last for up to five years on surfaces after painting. That means there is an ongoing risk for all inhabitants. Natural paints are better and don’t contain VOCs.

Finishes

Another benefit would be the fantastic finish you can achieve. You may assume that eco-friendly paints will provide inferior results. It isn’t true though. You can get great coverage and a quality finish using greener substitutes. They also have a reputation for good colour retention and abrasion resistance.

Less waste

Our last advantage is a reduction in wastage. Normal paints are products belonging to the petrochemical industry. So, their manufacture can lead to the production of toxic waste. It needs specialist treatment and disposal. Applying the paint can also cause issues with recycling materials.

Using natural paints is a better option in terms of waste. They are cleaner to manufacture, produce less rubbish during use, and are biodegradable too. Overall, they have a smaller carbon footprint.
