Better for you. Better for the planet.
Global Colours believes strongly that we all need to do our bit to contribute towards a better, less polluted environment. Manufacturers have a responsibility to create products which are less harmful to our environment giving consumers better choices. And consumers can help, by choosing more environmentally friendly products wherever possible. With this in mind, we have developed the World’s First ZERO VOC Artist’s Acrylics.
What are VOC’s and why should we be avoiding them?
The VOC acronym stands for Volatile Organic Compounds, which are carbon-containing compounds emitted as gasses into the air.
There are 500+ known VOC’s which are listed by the World Health Organisation as being toxic to humans. They accumulate within human fat cells.
Paints and other materials like furnishings, building materials, adhesives, carpets, MDF and cleaning fluids can emit these gases for years.
These gasses contribute to ozone pollution, which is bad for the environment, and they also pollute the air inside homes or classrooms, which can be detrimental for our health.
The EPA reports that VOCs can lead to adverse health effects like:
– Eye, nose, and throat irritation
– Headaches
– Increased asthma attacks and allergies
– Liver, kidneys, and central nervous system damage
– Behavioural and learning difficulties
– Cancer
Yikes, right?
Which is why Global Colours has created the world’s first Zero VOC Artists Acrylic Paint Range in its Student and Fine Art Acrylics. We will continue to reformulate all our paints and mediums until our entire collection of products is Zero VOC. It’s a big job but we believe it’s in the best interest for our children, customers, our team and our planet.
Global Colours is Australian owned, and paints are manufactured in the heart of Sydney.
