Each litre contains a minimum 50% recycled content, while competing on quality and price with premium brands.

Waste paint is collected from waste management companies, councils and contractors, increasing recycling rates and delivering a true closed loop service to our customers. Delivering environmental impact through social enterprise, we are committed to creating job opportunities for those with barriers to employment. One litre of our paint saves enough embodied carbon to drive a transit van five miles carbon free – verified by Bath University and the Carbon Footprint Company Limited.

What is a digital material passport?

A material passport is a digital document listing all the materials that are included in a product or construction during its life cycle in order to facilitate circularity decisions in supply chain management at the end of the building life.

At Cundall, we want to create a passport to materials/products that will also provide information before its use so designers and contractors are capable of making conscious decisions of products that could affect the embodied carbon and health well-being of a project, facilitating the inclusion of the best low carbon and/ healthy materials that align with their design.
