Environmentally Friendly Paint and Earth Friendly Products
The Real Milk Paint Company has always focused on protecting our environment, as well as the on the health of our customers. The flagship in our line of earth friendly products is our powdered milk paint. This environmentally friendly paint goes by many names, including green paint and non-toxic paint.
Green Paint is not just a color anymore
The term "green paint" now refers to any environmentally friendly paint that can act as an alternative to petroleum based products. Our milk paint is considered green paint because it is has no VOC's (volatile organic compounds). This means there will not be toxic off-gassing from the paint polluting your home. Milk paint is truly a non-toxic paint or green paint because it contains no additives or distillates that can harm you or the environment. It is made from iron oxide pigment, milk casein and lime. All of these are acceptable for earth friendly products, and are safe for you, your home and the planet.
Environmentally friendly paint that makes a difference
Real Milk Paints are not only environmentally friendly products, they are environmentally helpful products! As a matter of fact, one of the primary ingredients of our milk paint is pharmaceutical grade lime. High calcium lime has unique properties in that it is cured through a reaction called carbonization. This means that our paint draws in carbon dioxide from the air as it continues to harden, so when painted on interior and exterior walls and siding, it will continue cleaning the air. Using our non-toxic paint will help to clean carbon emissions from the air thus helping to reduce the green house effect. Just think of the effect on our environment if everyone used our Real Milk Paint. This green paint is an actively beneficial choice among Earth friendly products. Another benefit of natural lime in milk paint is that it acts as a fire retardant. This means it will slow the rate and spread of fire.

Earth friendly products and practices
And our environmental efforts don’t stop there. While the majority of companies strive to add earth friendly products and practices to their operations and product lines, be assured this has always been the focus of The Real Milk Paint Company. As a youngster growing up in town, I would always rummage through the bushes for that "Coke Bottle" to be returned for nickel. Five bottles was enough penny candy to last a whole day. I never could understand why people would just toss out things that still had value. I may have grown up some, but my thinking has not changed.
As an environmentally concerned company and maker of earth friendly products, we incorporate many recycled products into our daily routine. The majority of our shipping boxes are saved from the box crusher at the local Wal-Mart and grocery store. Our only stuffing material for shipments is shredded newspaper and junk mail. Everyone who has ever worked here has always brought in their papers and magazines for shredding. Many neighbors and former associates still drop off their recycling for shredding. Because newsprint can leave dust on the products, we collect used plastic shopping bags for wrapping each order. We are not only proud to provide green paint and other Earth friendly products, but to deliver them in a way that satisfies our customers, and respects the planet.
