Committed to \u2018painting the future green\u2019 Edward Bulmer Natural Paint<\/a> prides itself on being among the most eco-friendly paint companies.<\/p>\n
It is a pioneer in developing natural paints that blend quality and sustainability, offering total transparency (including declarations of all ingredients and where they\u2019re sourced), while the raw materials come from plants and other natural elements, meaning that unused waste paint can be composted.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s dedication to reducing its impact on the planet underpins all it does, from generating solar energy at its factory to buying in renewable energy.<\/p>\n
Edward\u2019s own experience as an interior designer, architectural historian and eco-campaigner has informed both the business\u2019s ethos and its colour collections.<\/p>\n
The Natural Paint range was developed using natural pigments that have been used by artists for centuries, in shades that are ideal for period homes but robust enough for modern living.<\/p>\n
Using the colour key in its \u2018hand painted fan deck\u2019 you can reference the suitability of each colour to specific historic periods, to help you restore your home sympathetically.<\/p>\n

Francesca Wezel had just got back from seven years in Australia working with Porter\u2019s Paints \u2013 the only manufacturer of traditional paint finishes in Australia \u2013 where she was manager and colourist.<\/p>\n
On her return to London she realised that there weren\u2019t any paint companies that were producing lime wash and eco emulsion, so she took the plunge and launched Francesca\u2019s Paints<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The business began back in November 1996, and at the time it was one of the first eco paint companies in the UK. The colour collections are inspired by travel, art and nature \u2013 one of the collections, Poison into Medicine, was inspired by The Nativity<\/em> by Piero della Francesca at the National Gallery.<\/p>\n
Their paints are also plastic-free, breathable and free from solvents and their components. They care greatly for the planet and are continually evolving their production techniques, colouring and packaging. they try to be as eco-conscious as possible throughout the process, from the making of the paint to the packaging and all aspects of the business.<\/p>\n
The company have never bought a box to send out paint by mail \u2013 they recycle boxes from wine shops, grocery shops and so on. The paint pots are also fully recyclable, too; they chose plastic rather than tins, because tins are difficult to clean and people don\u2019t tend to recycle them.<\/p>\n
Coat Paints<\/h3>\n $\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
Created by long-time friends Rob Green and Rob Abrahams, the company sold their first tin of paint on 23rd September 2020. Rob Green (the paint guy) had worked for the world\u2019s largest paint company and Rob Abrahams (the brand guy) had worked in marketing and growth.<\/p>\n
Between the two of them \u2013 and their experiences renovating houses \u2013 they spotted a gap for a younger, simpler brand, offering high-grade sustainable paint.<\/p>\n
Coat Paints<\/a>\u2018 entire range uses high-grade materials, and unlike 70 per cent of the world\u2019s paint it is 100 per cent water-based. All of their products are low VOC, falling well below the EU measures for toxin levels, which are the strictest globally.<\/p>\n
The paint is freshly mixed to order and shipped the same day, which ensures zero waste, and means customers\u2019 paint is super-fresh.<\/p>\n
The entire brand is built on a foundation of sustainability. Every decision made is based on how the business makes the planet better, from recycled and recyclable packaging materials and carbon-neutral delivery, through to unique zero-waste production. They also operate a 360-degree recycling programme where people can return tins and excess paint for reprocessing.<\/p>\n
Coat has been a carbon-neutral business since day one, and more recently has gained \u2018climate positive\u2019 status, which means they double-offset any carbon emissions \u2013 not just from the business, but from the entire supply chain.<\/p>\n

The founder of Earthborn<\/a>, John Dison, was originally a town-planning professional, specialising in historic buildings. He then joined the family business, which was a supplier to the decorating industry.<\/p>\n
Identifying a gap in the market, John decided to launch a range of eco-friendly paints in 2002, combining his years of experience with his own interest in design and sustainability.<\/p>\n
This was a far-sighted decision at a time when there was little awareness about the health dangers and environmental impact of conventional paints.<\/p>\n
Claypaint is Earthborn\u2019s hero paint; it is virtually free from VOCs, free from oils and acrylics and has no harmful emissions. It\u2019s highly breathable, durable and has little odour, and comes in a range of colours with complex, flattering undertones.<\/p>\n
As a trailblazer in the field, Earthborn\u2019s paints are designed to be less harmful for the environment, healthier to use and live with, and better for the fabric of buildings. Their eco-friendly ingredients are carefully selected, and the paints are free from harmful emissions.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
