Winsor & Newton
PygmaliArt is proud to partner with Windsor & Newton on the one hand because of its high quality products and on the other hand thanks to its ethics and ecological awareness. Windsor & Newton is an English company which was founded in 1832 by the chemist William Windsor and the artist Henry Newton. Needless to say, this is a proven company!
Windsor and Newton are taking concrete actions to reduce its ecological footprint.
- WATER: The company installed a water treatment system in its facilities to treat water that would usually go into the city's drains. The company therefore uses a closed water circuit! In addition, in Lowestoft in Great Britain, the company added a rainwater collection system to its system in order to reduce its consumption of fresh water.
- CADMIUM: Windsor and Newton tackled the environmental issue related to the use of environmentally harmful chemicals used in the manufacture of paint such as Cadmium. Cadmium is a heavy metal used in the production of paint for artists which gives the paint color and saturation characteristics that are very difficult to reproduce artificially.
- Oil paint product line “Artist” 9 colors does not contain any Cadmium. So when you opt for these colors, you know you won't release any heavy metals into the environment!
