What are the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)?

VOCs are organic solvents that easily evaporate at room temperature and contribute to greenhouse gases (which in turn contribute to global warming) and are also negatively impacting the indoor air quality.

Recycled packaging

The company has switched from using virgin plastic to recycled plastic, at a percentage up to 40% in the cans. Over 70% of Vivechrom's plastic packaging is made from recycled plastic. Over 49% of Vivechrom's packaging in total is made from recycled plastic.

Renewable energy

At Vivechrom, 100% of the energy used is green. More than 70% of the annual energy consumed comes from Vivechrom's solar panels, while the remaining 30% comes from purchased renewable sources of electricity.

Long lasting

Choosing a more durable paint, for example an interior paint with higher scrubb resistance or an exterior paint with extended protection against weather exposure, will extend the life of your decorating project so the maintenance intervals will be wider and you will prolong the lifetime of the painted surface.

Less material

Choosing a paint that requires less layers (for example one coat) or that allows you to do the job with less paint (high spreading rate L/m2) contributes as well to lowering your impact on the environment (lower carbon footprint per m2).
