POTENTIAL CAN YOU
save?
Carbon emissions from your lifestyle choice impact the climate. By choosing WB plant-based wood coatings you can reduce your carbon footprint potential compared to use of solvent based coatings and non-plant based water based coatings. Use our carbon footprint calculator to understand how using waterbased plant-based wood coatings can reduce your carbon footprint potential today.
Introducing plant-based
wood coatings for every project
Whether coating wooden furniture, kitchen cabinet doors, interior or exterior building products:
up to 40% plant-based wood coatings help you reduce your CO2 emission potential without making any compromises on performance and quality.
