Eco-friendly paint & wallpaper by Little Greene 

At Little Greene, their unwavering commitment to safeguarding the environment is evident in every aspect of our operations. As early as 2004, they distinguished themselves as pioneers in the UK paint industry by attaining the esteemed European environmental standard BS EN ISO 14001.

From major corporate choices to the minutiae of daily tasks, they consistently act responsibly to curtail their ecological footprint, all the while maintaining their exacting quality standards. LG comprehensive selection includes both water-based and oil-based eco-conscious paint finishes, all harmonizing with their complete color palette.

Water-based paints:

LG water-based paints carry the industry’s most favorable eco-rating, boasting an almost negligible VOC content. This implies that concerns about solvent emissions into the atmosphere, respiratory discomfort, and unpleasant odors are rendered obsolete. Their eco-paints are essentially odorless, providing an eco-friendly painting experience. Moreover, their wallpapers are crafted with minimal environmental impact, offering transformative decor options without compromise.

Non-toxic wallpapers:

The paper used in LG wallpapers originates from responsibly managed forests, and for each tree used, four new trees are planted. The pigments employed for printing LG eco wallpaper designs are entirely non-toxic, ensuring safety and sustainability in your decor choices.

Solvent-free wallpaper paste:

For optimal outcomes, they recommend pairing their wallpapers with their top-notch adhesive paste. Formulated for ease of use, their wallpaper paste contains no solvents, aligning with their commitment to eco-consciousness.

Oil-based paints:

Traditionally favored for their exceptional longevity and superior finish, LG oil-based paints have been reformulated using sustainable vegetable oils. This innovation upholds their unparalleled quality while adhering to sustainability principles.

Sustainability beyond products:

LG dedication to eco-friendliness extends beyond their product range. LG packaging and manufacturing processes also reflect their commitment. LG paint tins, for instance, incorporate over 50% recycled steel and can be recycled again. Their efforts to augment recycled and recyclable materials have led to a remarkable 57% waste reduction in the past three years.

They also uphold recycling practices in our documentation, opting for recycled or sustainably sourced paper for all their paperwork.

Local manufacturing initiatives:

The production of their paints and wallpapers takes place exclusively in the UK, and they actively seek suppliers who share our dedication to local industries. Their emphasis on curbing pollution, energy consumption, and distribution overheads is coupled with support for local businesses.

Child-safe solutions:

LG’s range of paints prioritizes safety, making them ideal for children’s rooms and furniture. Rigorously tested according to European Standard EN 71-3: 2019, their Absolute Matt Emulsion, Intelligent Matt Emulsion, and Intelligent Eggshell paints are devoid of hazardous ingredients.
