Changing the way that people think (once again), IdeaPaint is proving that a whiteboard can indeed be green.
Why Choose IdeaPaint?
Manufacturing
- IdeaPaint uses the wall itself (or an existing board) as a substrate. It does not use wood, steel, aluminum or vinyl that is found in other dry erase surfaces.
- Huge ovens and assembly equipment are required to make whiteboards. IdeaPaint is simply mixed and stirred which requires far less energy.
Shipping
- A 40 square foot whiteboard weighs over 60 lbs, while 50 square feet of IdeaPaint weighs only 3.5 lb box. Shipping one unit of IdeaPaint takes a fraction of the space and weighs far less, saving considerable amounts of fossil fuel during the shipping process.
- Whiteboards are packed and shipped in huge wood crates, while IdeaPaint utilizes a small box, requiring far less packaging material.
Removal and Recycling
- Approximately 50 million lbs of old whiteboards are thrown into America’s landfills each year. There is nothing to dispose of when an IdeaPaint surface is no longer desired. Simply repaint the wall!
- There is no need to spend time and money on demolition, reconstruction and repairs needed after removing old whiteboards.
Air Quality
- GREENGUARD Certified
- Unlike most dry-erase surfaces, IdeaPaint is formaldehyde free.
- As a recent feather in our cap, IdeaPaint passed California 01350, the newest regulation related to indoor air quality for classrooms.
- IdeaPaint was the winner of Interior Design Magazine’s Green Star Award for environmental friendliness.
