Sustainability at the Paint Pottle
We asked the Paint Pottle about their sustainable practices...
We recycle as much as we can, including all the plastic bottles our paints, underglazes and glazes come in (which are non toxic).
When we can serve tea and coffee we use cafetieres and paper tea bags. Some of our used coffee grounds go to my friends allotment.
The majority of our packaging is recyclable paper or card and we encourage people to return their bubble wrap (many people who have moved house etc bring me their bubble to reuse and I reuse what packaging I can from my suppliers).
We reuse tin cans for brush pots and water pots - they also make excellent formers for some of our clay projects. We also reuse anything we think will make a nice or interesting texture in clay!
I'm trying to source as much bisque as I can from a local supplier to keep miles down but I do buy some imported pieces.
I buy eco cleaning products (including loo roll) and refill at the market. We would normally use washable cloths and towels at the pottle but during covid we've had to turn to paper products more.
We reuse our takeaway kit packaging and brushes after a dip in disinfectant.
