Digital Art is Good for Our Environment
Environment Friendly, Sustainable Art
Using digital paints leaves ZERO Carbon Footprints and creates 0 Greenhouse gases.
How digital art helps save our environment
Even water-based acrylics (which are less toxic than regular acrylics) contain harmful, toxic substances and 3-7% solvent content.
The VOC content of paint and the CO2 emitted during manufacture are key contributors to environmental impact - primarily in the form of air pollution (petrochemical smog) and greenhouse gas emissions.
Water-based acrylic paint is composed of minute particles of plastic acrylic resin suspended in water (acrylic polymer emulsion) and pigment.
Oil paints, mineral spirits, turpentine, etc. all have chemical components that rise into the air and are highly toxic in large quantities. Many pigments used to create paints contain small amounts of lead, or other known cancer-causing chemicals such as cadmium and manganese.
Paints are a major source of indoor air pollution. The US Environmental Protection Agency puts paint on its top-five list of environmental hazards.
Emission profiles from the EPA in California show that paint coatings are responsible for 9% of all VOC emissions. Typical oil-based paint averages 350g/L VOCs, or between 35-50% of the paints volume.
Another problem with synthetic paints is post-application wastage and disposal. The petrochemical paints that currently dominate the market are predominately derived from oil, a non-renewable resource.
Many metal pigments used in paints (e.g. cadmium) are highly toxic and relatively rare resources. In several paints up to 20% of a tin by volume can be the pigment Titanium Dioxide, a product that can have a high environmental impact load associated with it.
According to the Masters Painters Association, ozone from paint emissions irritates eyes, nose, throat and lungs; reduces breathing capacity even in healthy adults and children; increases susceptibility to infection, hospital visits and admissions; and causes damage estimated to cost over millions of dollars per year to crops and buildings.
Digital acrylic paint on the other hand contains 0 toxic substances, generates 0 air pollution and 0 greenhouse gas emissions, and does not cause any health issues or environmental damage.
