Sustainable Paint

Water based formulas, waste reduction and infinitely recyclable tins (yes, really) are just the start. What’s behind Farrow & Ball's famously rich paint colours? It all starts with their trace-VOC emulsions, low-odour water base and responsibly sourced ingredients.  
What are VOCs?
VOCs are the culprits behind the strong smell of some oil and solvent based paints, a result of pollutants being released into the atmosphere as the paint dries. By contrast, Farrow & Ball's low-odour water based finishes don’t release any unpleasant smells, as well as being safer, more comfortable to apply and live with, and kinder to the environment than oil based paints. Farrow & Ball's richly pigmented paints are created to work in harmony with every part of your world. Whether it’s through the entirely water based range of long-lasting finishes – which score the highest grade for the lowest emissions – the infinitely recyclable metal tins, or strategies for cutting down on waste, Farrow & Ball are committed to reducing impact on the earth without compromising on quality.
