Above: Boomerang Paint Colours River, Honey and Moss
If you've read anything about decor, you'll know that every expert out there upholds that the cheapest and easiest way to change the look of a room is with a can of paint. So experts and amateurs alike should be thrilled that not only is there an even cheaper paint option but it's earth-friendly as well. Boomerang recycled paints go for about $15 for a 3.78 litre can — about half the price of normal paints and there are 16 colours of latex, four alkyds (oil-based paints) and six stains.
Environmentally, Boomerang paints are made up of reclaimed domestic paints collected at hardware stores like Rona and other locations. Seventeen of the company's water-based products have been certified by EcoLogo, one of North America's most respected environmental standard and certification mark and the paint comes in new recycled and recyclable plastic cans that require less energy to produce than traditional metal cans.
