It's also available in a Satinwood finish – for interior wood and metal and available in a choice of 5 new colours (plus white). It contains 90% less solvent, 15% less waste and has a 35% lower carbon footprint than solvent-based Satinwood The Ecosense paint range also uses 20% recycled packaging.

Ecosense has been developed in partnership with Forum for the Future, the independent sustainability experts, using the Environmental Impact Analyser. This tool was used to actively measure and reduce the impact of Ecosense at every stage of its lifecycle from raw materials to final product.

The analyser focused on reducing the amounts of carbon (CO₂), waste and water – 3 key measures of environmental impact. This tool is being used to develop more sustainable paints throughout Dulux product ranges.
