The paintbrush and roller handles are manufactured from 65% cornstarch, which is quite simply starch derived from corn. Corn is a natural, renewable and sustainable raw material that addresses the amount of hazardous substances created or caused during the production process. In normal landfill conditions the handles will biodegrade over a significantly shorter period than Polypropylene; this leads to a reduction in landfill mass.
The paintbrush head is manufactured from a mix of high performance synthetic filaments and natural bristles, formulated to be 30% biodegradable without compromising the high quality and smooth finish you would expect from a Harris brush.
The paintbrush ferrule is manufactured from steel, which will biodegrade.
The roller tray is manufactured from 100% recycled plastic and can be recycled after use.
The roller fabric is manufactured from recycled soft drinks bottles.
All of the packaging used in the range is produced from recycled or biodegradable materials and is printed using environmentally friendly print processes and inks.
