The Greene Standard
Environmentally Friendly Paints and Wallpapers
At Little Greene we have always been committed to the ongoing well-being and protection of the world environment and in 2004 we were one of the first UK paint manufacturers to achieve the European environmental standard BS EN ISO 14001. From big business decisions to the smallest everyday tasks, we continue to act positively and responsibly to minimize our ecological impact, without compromising our high quality standards.

All our waterbased paints carry the industry’s lowest eco-rating, with VOC content now virtually zero. This means you don’t need to worry about solvent contributions to the atmosphere or any respiratory issues, or the smell; they are virtually odourless.
Oil based paints are traditionally favoured because of their renowned longevity and superb finish. Purists need not fear; Little Greene oil based paints have been reformulated with sustainable vegetable oils to dramatically reduce VOC content and odour.
The paper used in our wallpapers comes from FSC or PEFC certificated sustainable forests; so for every tree used another four are planted. The pigments used to print them are completely non-toxic and our excellent wallpaper paste contains no solvent.
Recycling
Our paint tins are made using over 50% recycled steel and can be recycled again, and all our paperwork is printed on recycled or sustainably sourced paper. We are continually developing our packaging and warehousing procedures to increase the content of recycled and recyclable material and have achieved waste reduction of 57% in the last three years.
Safe For Children
We offer the safest choices for decorating children’s rooms and furniture. Our acrylic Matt Emulsion and Acrylic Eggshell paints have been tested to European Standard BS EN 71-3:1995, also known as ‘Toy Paint Regulations’ – these are proven safe from toxic metals.
Local Manufacturing
All our paints and wallpapers are manufactured in the UK and we actively source from suppliers who can match our commitment to local industries. We’re dedicated to minimising pollution, energy consumption and distribution overheads whilst supporting the local business community.
Quality Standard
Little Greene makes products of a very high quality. All our paints use the finest natural, organic and safe-synthetic pigments, giving superb depth of colour and high opacity. They cover well, last and are loved for longer, meaning less repainting, less resources and less work for you.
