Q. What's the difference between a GreenPainter and an 'Enviropainter'?

A: The GreenPainters Program is the recognised sustainability initiative for the painting industry. Only Accredited GreenPainters are audited annually for compliance to EPA legislation, are licensed, insured and meet an Environmental Code of Practice. GreenPainters also receive regular updates from the Green Building Council of Australia. GreenPainters do not accept kickbacks from suppliers to 'green-wash' products.
