Eco-Friendly Paint
Why choose eco-friendly paint for your project?
Due to COVID, Aussies have become a lot more conscious about the quality of the air they breathe. Even without the pandemic, there are plenty of factors that can impact our air quality, such as smoking indoors, poor ventilation, and common household products. Many people may not realise just how many everyday items contain harmful chemicals – and paint is one of them! You might be surprised, but lead paint isn’t the only concern. Modern paints often contain VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, which can be dangerous to your health. Let’s break down why you should be cautious about paints with these toxins and explore some safer alternatives.

Paints with VOCs are toxic, releasing harmful chemicals into the air that cause serious health risks over time. Although VOCs are carbon-based and organic, they evaporate at room temperature and can significantly pollute indoor air. Inhaling VOCs can damage brain cells, similar to sniffing glue, and continue releasing toxins into the air for years. The EPA links long-term exposure to VOCs with conditions such as asthma, skin irritation, fatigue, and nervous system issues. Using 11 litres of VOC-heavy paint can release 4.5 kilograms of harmful toxins into the air you breathe daily. Eco-friendly, low or no-VOC paints are much safer, emitting significantly fewer toxic fumes compared to traditional paints.
Eco-friendly paints benefit
These eco-friendly paints benefit both your health and the environment by reducing harmful chemicals and improving indoor air quality. Low-VOC paints do not produce the strong, unpleasant odours commonly found with traditional paints, enhancing your living space.
Not only do eco-friendly paints improve health, but they’re also easier to clean and often more cost-effective. We hope this guidance boosts your confidence in choosing eco-friendly, low-VOC paints for your next painting project.
