With the world becoming more environmentally & health sensitive, there is a fast-growing demand for “green” products. More than ever, we are driven to meet the demand of our future-orientated generation.
“VOC content, sustainable, biodegradable, eco-friendly, recyclable, renewable, low carbon footprint, net-zero, natural …”- are now predominant in our daily vocabulary.
ProNature, a local coatings manufacturer, employs latest knowhow and processes to guarantee technically advanced products from mother nature’s offerings. They have been on their mission to successfully create environmentally sound products for the last 25 years, constantly following European standards. In all this time, ProNature has stuck to their “green guns” despite the hesitance of the industry towards natural alternatives to conventional finishes. The time has come and the demand by architects, designers, and end-users for such products is now increasing rapidly.
ProNature’s manufacturing ecological footprint is less than a quarter of a conventional manufacture, in figures, embodied energy of conventional wall paint is 88.4 MJ/kg compared to 15-20 MJ/kg for their natural coatings.
