GreenPainters™ is Australia's national non-for-profit education program and network providing training, advice, and skills to promote the latest sustainable coatings technology. It represents painters and manufacturers who are leaders in the Green Building Industry.

Launched in 2007, the GreenPainters™ Program aims to cut VOC emissions by participating contractors by 92%, and eliminate ground and storm water contamination from wash-up. It represents environmental management best practice in the painting industry.

Why use unsustainable, toxic chemical coatings when there are affordable alternatives to almost all conventional paints and coatings? You can even lower greenhouse-gas emissions by using heat-reflective paints! A Certified GreenPainter™ can help you achieve the look you want while being environmentally sensitive and health-conscious. GreenPainters is an Ecospecifier Industry Partner, and can help your project achieve the Green Building Council's Green Star certification. All products we use meet or exceed Australian Standards, meet the Green Star guidelines, or are certified by an Internationally recognised eco-label, such as Good Environmental Choice Australia.

With climate change impacting on our water resources, it is important that waste-water can be re-used. Waste-water produced by a GreenPainter is treated and/or recycled to EPA guidelines, using environmental management best practice, or can be used directly on gardens, without harmful effects to any plants, or groundwater contamination.
