摘要

In recent years, the sustainability of paint systems has become an increasingly important consideration for specifiers. The drivers for this are many, and include the widespread use of environmental rating systems such as BREEAM, Ska and LEED, the launch of the government's Green Deal for home improvements and the EU Ecolabel scheme (see below), as well as growing awareness of the harmful environmental impacts of some traditional forms of paint.
