Sustainability
Betonlook.nl believes it’s important that our products are made with the future in mind. There are more and more people on this planet, and we humans leave the biggest ecological footprint. Of course, we can do many things to reduce that footprint, like cycling to work, eating local products, but don’t forget to also choose sustainable products for your living space. At betonlook.nl, we’ve selected a diverse range of sustainable products for our collection.
Why are these products sustainable? You can use them in your home without causing harm to the environment. And the quality of our paint products is top-notch.
Betonlook.nl doesn’t just focus on the product itself, we go further than that. All of our packaging materials are either recycled or made from natural resources. Our orders are shipped CO₂-neutral, and our packing chips are fully ecological and biodegradable. So, along with our paint, you can simply let the chips dissolve in your garden. Yes, that’s what we call future-proof.
Betonlook.nl also donates to various organisations. We are, among others, a proud partner of Trees for All and regularly raise funds for a variety of charities.
Lime paint from Betonlook.nl is 100% natural. This makes it environmentally friendly and recyclable. Most types of wall paint contain various synthetic substances. These are lab-created and not recyclable. Lime paint from Betonlook.nl is different, as it is made from slaked lime and natural ingredients. The thickeners in our paint are based on cellulose and starch. The result? A completely harmless paint. That’s something to feel good about, right?
All our products are produced and shipped as ecologically as possible. Lime paint, Concrete effect paint and Loam paint are 100% ecological.
It’s generally recommended to repaint your home every 7 years, this helps to maintain and protect the structure of your house. The advantage of our paints is that most of them are moisture-absorbing, which helps prevent mould from forming in your home. Now imagine the environmental impact if you repaint your home every 7 years using chemical-based paints, with betonlook.nl that is no longer necessary. Most of our paints are fully ecological. Got some paint left over? No problem, you can simply rinse it away with water.
These days, the term sustainable building is becoming increasingly common. There are various training programmes that focus on designing and constructing buildings using environmentally friendly products. This reduces the burden on the environment, something we at Betonlook.nl find very important. It’s essential to use products that have a long lifespan. Many of our products meet this standard. Just think of Microcement and Loam plaster. These materials last for many years.
The products from Betonlook.nl are respectful of both people and the planet. Our paints and plasters help create a healthy indoor climate. They support good ventilation, prevent mould growth and reduce the build-up of harmful substances. This allows you to enjoy not only a beautiful living space, but also one that is healthy and liveable.
P.S. Don’t forget to keep your outdoor space liveable for our fellow species. You can do this by making conscious choices when it comes to your garden plants. Artificial grass is an absolute no-go if you ask us. Instead, plant species that support bee populations. Bees play a crucial role in our ecosystem. Pollination by insects is essential for more than 75% of food crops, allowing us to enjoy delicious fruits.
Planning to do some painting outdoors and want to keep our animal friends in mind? Then go for the Outdoor Paint from Betonlook.nl. While it’s not fully ecological, we’ve done our very best to get as close as possible. The paint contains ingredients such as vegetable oils, iron oxides, organic pigments and titanium oxide siccatives. If you’ve got the golden tip for an even more ecological outdoor paint, we’re all ears.
