Environmentally Friendly Paint

Valtti’s entire supply process is geared towards achieving eco efficiency, from paint production, to use of renewable natural materials and environmentally sound products, right through to how the paint is delivered.

RECYCLING

Our 250ml paint sample pots for Feelings, Liquid Imagination are made using recyclable plastic. The sample pots are sold at cost meaning we don’t make any profit from their sale.

For the Feelings, Liquid Imaginations range, Valtti makes a small donation every month to the Woodland Trust. This donation provides schools with sapling packs to allow children to plant trees for future generations. Because we don’t make a profit from the pots the donation comes straight from Valtti.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES

With our partner, Tikkurila, we have been at the forefront of environmental paint production techniques for decades.

All Tikkurila companies are committed to the following policies:

• Products should be safe for people and the environment.
• The goal of development of our production and delivery processes is to improve eco-effectiveness or the careful use of production inputs and resources.
• Well-managed health, safety and environment issues reflect positively on a company's financial performance.
• The prosperity of a company depends on the well being of its people.

OUR STANDARDS

Back in 1994 Tikkurila's environmental system earned accreditation according to the BS 7750 standard; in 1996 this was changed to ISO 14001 certification.

In 1996 Tikkurila Oy was the first Finnish company and the third paint company in Europe to receive registration under the European Union's Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).

Most of Tikkurila's production units in various parts of Europe already have certified quality and environmental systems under the ISO series of standards.
