Paint
We are dedicated to
help you switch to
Water-based paints
Without
compromising
on quality
Although we supply everything you need for decorating, from brushes to masking tape, supplying high quality decorative paint remains at the very core of what we do. As an industry, one way we can make a big change is moving to water-based paints as solvent-based paints generally have more of a carbon footprint and have a negative impact on air quality. Our guiding principle is to work with manufacturers to provide water-based alternatives that perform as well or better than solvent-based paints – helping make the switch as easy as possible.
Cans
We will support
you to
Triple*
the overall number of
empty cans
we recycle
by end of 2025
95% of empty paint cans currently end up in landfill or are being burnt for energy recovery after use. We can change that by improving our free of charge empty can recycling service to make it easier for you to divert your empty cans away from going to waste and boost our industry’s recycling rate.
*From baseline 2022 data, tripled by the end of 2025.
