It is estimated that 10% of the ozone depleting substances
in the urban United States come from paints and other surface coatings. The
majority of these substances are VOCs or volatile organic compounds and they
are the cause of not only thinning ozone but also the rise in global warming
and increased respiratory related diseases and cancer. And the off-gassing
doesn’t just end when the new-paint smell wears off – up to 50% of the toxic
gasses and carcinogens from VOC containing paints leak into your home up to six
years after it dries on your wall.
Mythic Paint is the only paint manufacturer chosen by the
U.S. Regenerative Network as part of their sustainability and resource sourcing
efforts in the US. The Network has two goals: (1) helping members measure,
goal-set and improve in their organizational sustainability, and (2) bringing
members to the green building marketplace of design professionals and buyers.
The U.S. Regenerative Network offers affiliates (Corporations, Architects,
Designers, Builders) a vetted opportunity to see best of breed manufacturers
and service providers.
Mythic® Paint interior products are also tested and certified by
Berkeley Analytical. These products meet or exceed environmentally determined
testing standards and are environmentally preferred over traditional paints and
coatings. These products are compliant with the CDPH emissions standard
specified for low-emitting Paints and Coatings under the Collaborative for High
Performance Schools (CHPS) and the LEED programs.
Fortunately for the planet now we have Mythic Paint –the
World’s first high performance, zero-toxin, zero-VOC paint. So now we can enjoy
both our beautifully decorated homes and our beautiful planet.
