How much co2e
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.

Step 1

Choose your object to be coated

240g paint is applied per m2. Only with 1k waterborne products.

280g paint is applied per m2. Only with 1k waterborne products.

240g paint is applied per m2. Only with 1k waterborne products.

400g paint is applied per m2. Only with 1k waterborne products.

 

These calculations are based on 1-component Waterborne products where LCA studies have been made by our suppliers of their binders.
Software used is SimaPro 9,1. It is cradle-to-gate calculations of CFP according to IPCC 2013 GWP 100a V1.03 method.
