August Poscards: All About Eco Paint

This week on the podcast, Sophie and I have done a fairly deep dive into eco paints. She was mostly enraged that there is no industry standard and everyone does what they want so we have looked into the subject in more depth to try and understand what’s what and what you need to know.

We can’t claim to provide the definitive guide but we have some good tips and information that might help you make your paint choices. You can, of course, listen for the full details but I have laid out some highlights for you here.  Read on..

Update: I saw on instagram the other day that if you want to clean out a paint pot you can buy a bag of sawdust and if you stir some round the leftover paint in the tin you can then tip that into the bin and the paint pot will be clean enough for recycling.
