Interested in a new colour for your home? Wattyl has you covered
As a business Bufo Paint, and as individuals, we believe that we must respect our mother earth to keep the world turning, and to do so we must use sustainable, quality products.
Sustainability can be achieved in many different ways, such as prioritising using re-useable drop sheets, correctly washing painting accessories to reduce overall waste, using paper instead of plastic where possible. But mostly, we are painters, paint is ubiquitous in everyone’s lives, your personal homes and cars are covered in paint, your shopping centers, churches, workplaces, swimming pools and pretty much anywhere you can think of, has paint! So, imagine if every painting business used sustainable practices right down to their paintbrushes, how much waste could be saved?
Wattyle is supporting our dream of making painting sustainable by their own sustainable practices!
