The term, “sustainable paint,” was first used in the coatings business decades ago. However, the majority of today’s corporate activities routinely take sustainability into account on a daily basis. Beyond lowering volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the focus has greatly expanded to encompass energy and resource conservation, waste reduction, process efficiency improvement, the use of renewable resources, and much more.
The paint additives sector has made significant strides. The fundamental goal of modern formulations is to include new beneficial elements that can offer functional, aesthetic, and environmental advantages. There are a few ways that paint companies are becoming sustainable, such as using recycled materials in their paint and using fewer toxic ingredients in paint.
