Microplastics from traditional construction paint are a serious environmental issue, with research showing they contribute significantly to pollution in our ecosystems.
Traditional construction paint contains around 37% microplastics, resulting in estimates of 231,000 to 863,000 tons entering the environment each year in Europe.
BC Materials offers a sustainable mineral paint made from excavated soil, aiming to address the environmental impact of traditional paints while avoiding microplastics.
The long-term health effects of microplastic exposure from paint are uncertain, but ongoing research indicates potential contributions to various physical and metabolic issues.
