EARTHBORN RECEIVES ADDITIONAL ACCREDITATION FROM DEFRA

19/12/2008

 As we are increasingly being subjected to ‘green-wash’ and companies making unfounded environmental claims, it’s reassuring to turn to an honest paint brand with sincere eco credentials like earthborn. 

earthBorn remains the only UK paint brand to carry the prestigious EU Eco-label flower accreditation, awarded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. earthBorn paints are designed to be healthier to use and better for the environment. It is therefore no surprise to learn that earthborn's Eggshell and Emulsion paints - like their Claypaints - are totally free of VOCs, oils and acrylics and have no harmful emissions. DEFRA has now recognised earthborn's high environmental credentials by extending the Eco-label accreditation to include the Eggshell and Emulsion ranges.

Originally only applied to the Claypaint range, the EU Eco-label flower has now been awarded to earthborn’s Eggshells and Emulsions after each range was rigorously tested and judged to meet the scheme’s strict environmental and performance standards. Unlike conventional water based paints, the Eggshells and Emulsions are free of harmful VOCs, oils and acrylics, meaning you can completely depend on earthBorn to provide paint which is safe to use and won’t release any nasty, harmful emissions in your home.  Suitable for interior and exterior woodwork, earthBorn’s Eggshell paints offer a silky-smooth sheen and are available in a diverse mix of stylish colours. Drying super-quick, the paint couldn’t be easier to use and doesn’t need a primer before use. Once applied the paint allows the wood to breathe and won’t fade over time.   The Emulsions are breathable, hardwearing and offer excellent coverage levels. Suitable for all interior settings, colours range from smooth off-white and buttery vanilla shades, to contemporary blues, greens and pinks.

earthborn's high performance paints appeal to interior designers, stylists and consumers alike thanks to our carefully prepared recipes and advanced formulations. The Claypaints deliver a deliciously thick and creamy finish, the Eggshells provide a contemporary silk sheen and the Emulsions provide a classic alternative to earthBorn’s Claypaint.

DEFRA is a UK Government Department which looks to help people to live within environmental means in order to produce a healthy, resilient, productive and diverse natural environment.
