Eco-friendly products

By making product-buying decisions based not only on price and performance but also on environmental impact, we help prevent further damage to our planet and also send a message to industries that the market wants green products. Increased demand will also lower production costs of such products.

* Choose products labelled “green” by the authorities or responsible stores. Look for brands of paint like Nippon Paint Odourless that are free of ammonia and lead, resistant to fungus and bacteria and have near zero-level VOC, for an odour-free house during and after painting.


* Use materials made from sustainable sources. 3M has a range of cleaning solutions made of materials such as bamboo fibres and organic cotton.


* Switch to environmentally friendly cleaners with no artificial fragrances or colours, which are non-toxic, and also reduce the risk of allergic reactions and the effects of pollution.
