Dulux Trade paints exhibits virtually at Sustainability Now

Dulux Trade is proud to be taking part in the construction industry's second virtual sustainability exhibition called 'Sustainability Now' on the 13th and 14th May 2009, as part of its 'Step Towards Greener' environmental campaign.

Sustainability Now is a free virtual exhibition and conference dedicated to bringing you the best content on creating a green built environment and will again tackle the most pressing issues that face the industry:

Visitors to the virtual Dulux Trade stand will be able to:

• Read about a new era in paint sustainability and performance. The recently extended Ecosure paint range offers the perfect balance of both.
• Discover information about the groundbreaking Paint Solidifier. A revolutionary solution for the safe, responsible disposal of waste paint.
• Learn how using the Diamond Range can extend maintenance cycles.
• See how up to 20% less light energy can be used by specifying unique and innovative Dulux Trade Light & Space colours.
• Learn about the Environmental Wash System, which provides an environmentally responsible way of washing out brushes and rollers.
• Learn about the Environmental Impact Analyser (an analytical tool), devised by 'Forum for the Future' that measures the effects of products from cradle to factory gate.

James Green, Communications Manager for Dulux Trade commented "Sustainability Now is an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate our continued leadership in sustainability amongst the paint manufacturers. We are committed to developing products with sustainability built in without compromising on the products' quality, such as the Ecosure paint range from Dulux Trade, which represents an approach to meeting sustainability that's grounded in scientific rigour and was developed in conjunction with leading independent sustainability experts 'Forum for the Future'."
