Eco-colours and varnishes

Do you lead a healthy and environmentally conscious lifestyle and want to minimise your _{carbon footprint} in DIY projects too? We can well understand that, because after all, we only have this one world. That's why we at MissPompadour have given a lot of thought to how we can make our paints and varnishes as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible.

Our sustainable colours in the range

As an ecologically minded company, we only have wall paints in our range that match our philosophy. Our chalk paint suppliers use natural chalk or natural marble powder as a base. The colours are water-soluble and the proportion of solvents is very low.
For our own MissPompadour brand, we went one step further and looked for an alternative to conventional fossil binders. We found what we were looking for in the food industry - more specifically in the production of olive or sunflower oil. The resulting residues, a type of pomace, form the basis of our innovative colour technology and consist of at least 96% renewable raw materials that can be regrown in Europe within a few years. The production of this binder is not at the expense of valuable agricultural land or food production for humans and animals.

Low-solvent and environmentally friendly varnishes

With our MissPompadour Eggshell Varnish, we offer you a water-based varnish that is characterised not only by its silky matt surface, but also by its long durability.
The varnish is almost completely free from so-called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs for short. These are solvents that are released during painting and are responsible for the typical chemical odour of paints. These solvents are partly responsible for the formation of ground-level ozone. With our varnishesn, you don't have to worry about breathing in toxic vapours during application. The varnish is therefore ideal for both exterior and interior surfaces and adheres to rough wood as well as smooth surfaces such as tiles, metal or plastic.

Sustainable wall paints from MissPompadour

Our sustainable wall paintMissPompadour - The Valuable Wall Paint is particularly passionate about sustainability. Developed from organic raw materials, it impresses with its beautiful, matt finish and meets the highest standards

Its properties are impressive because it is

• odourless
• water-soluble and water-thinnable
• virtually solvent-free, which means no toxic pollutants are released
• easy to apply, rather viscous and therefore does not splatter.

What's more, MissPompadour - The Valuable Wall Paint bonds to any stable substrate and can be painted over almost all other paints such as emulsion paints or silicate paints. Only clay paints and chalky paints should be tested first to see if the paint will hold.
This environmentally friendly wall paint is also characterised by its very high diffusion capacity (SD value class 2). This means that it is also suitable for old buildings or new buildings that are not yet completely dry.

Reasons for sustainable wall paints

The biggest advantage of eco wall paints is that they are odourless and free of harmful substances. This alone makes working much more pleasant and no chemical substances evaporate during the drying process. So you don't have to worry about your health . At the same time, with our sustainable paints and varnishes you are not sacrificing good, splash-free workmanship or durability and robustness. Quite the opposite: you can look forward to beautiful matt surfaces and choose from countless creative colour shades.

What's more, with an eco colour you are always opting for

• more sustainability in the use of raw materials

• socially fair production

• short transport routes and

• recycled or recyclable packaging.

Areas of application for organic paints

Thanks to their odourless nature, organic paints are particularly suitable for painting children's rooms or bedrooms. Due to the absence or absolute minimisation of solvents and preservatives, the paints are absolutely harmless to health and have little to no allergenic properties. The good diffusion properties of MissPompadour - The Valuable Wall Paint also help to regulate humidity and ensure a good night's sleep.

Indoor furniture in particular - such as in the kitchen or dining area - should always be painted with paints that are harmless to health. Our robust varnishes also prevent chipping or abrasion of paint, even under heavy use.

Sustainable paints and varnishes are also clearly the better choice for outdoor areas. When painting or varnishing, paint can inadvertently land on plants or penetrate the soil. For example, do you want to paint the inside of your greenhouse as well as the outside? With low-solvent varnishes, you don't have to worry about your tomato, cucumber or pepper plants being damaged by ground-level ozone.

Our Eco Series colours: sustainable, water-based and low-solvent

With our Eco Series colours, we are able to make you a promise with a clear conscience:

• We use the lowest possible amount of preservatives and sol vents for sustainable storage.
• We pay attention to sustainability without compromising on quality
• Our varnishes and colours are water-based
• We minimise our _{carbon footprint} by sourcing our raw materials from Europe, producing in Germany and using DHL GoGreen for shipping.
• The packaging for our paints is made from either recycled plastic or recyclable aluminium. When it comes to packaging for shipping, we do not use plastic at all and rely on recycled cardboard and adhesive tape made from paper.

All of these points are on our way to becoming a sustainable company. Even though we have already been able to implement a lot, we are still continuously working on improvements that benefit our world and therefore all of us.

Sustainable painting tools

For us, sustainability also means avoiding plastic wherever possible. With our sustainable painting tools product line, you can see for yourself how plastic can be replaced by great, sustainable raw materials without compromising on functionality or quality. Where plastic or metal is used, we use recycled material and thus keep valuable materials in the production cycle for as long as possible.

Instead of plastic, the handles of our sustainable brushes are made from controlled FSC wood. The paint tray! is our innovative and compostable paint tray made from natural fibres. Both products are made in Germany.

Even our adhesive tape is 100% compostable, as it is made from natural rubber, is water-repellent and adheres perfectly to smooth surfaces.

Organic-certified colours

In order for paints to receive the EU organic certificate, all steps from raw material extraction to production must be organic. This is extremely difficult for paints, but we are on the way to bringing as many of our colours as possible up to this important certificate. With MissPompadour - The Valuable Wall Paint, we have almost made it. Even without this strict certificate, our colours are safe for your health and for nature.
