Eco-Sustainable Product Range
Terraco aims to combine the latest green technology and carefully selected, resource efficient raw materials to create durable, eco-friendly products that improve comfort and quality of life. Ecolife products have a minimal impact on the environment and surpass our customers' requirements and expectations.
What are volatile organic compounds? VOCs are compounds that give off that fresh paint smell. The odour is caused by VOCs emitted as gasses into the air, which can be irritating to the eyes, nose and throat and possibly in other ways. VOCs impact on indoor air quality. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors, up to as much as ten times higher than outdoors where the air can circulate freely.
What is Zero VOC?
Architectural coatings and paints containing VOCs with less than 5 grams per litre are considered Zero VOC. VOC absorbing paints contain active ingredients that trap VOCs in the paints indefinitely. Natural paints are manufactured from raw natural products such as plant oils, natural minerals, water and essential oils. ISO 17896 is one of a series of standards dealing with the VOC content of paints, varnishes and related products. ISO 11890-1 specifies a method for determining VOC contents greater than 15% (by mass), while ISO 11890-2 is applicable to VOC contents between 0.1% and 15% (by mass).

Terraco products are designed and produced in compliance with Terraco's Green Principles.Our Green Principles
Raw materials - Less is moreTerraco proactively works to source local, environmentally friendly raw materials of high quality.Terraco's products are designed to be efficient - saving labour, freight (and the associated carbon footprint) and packaging – thereby using less of nature's precious resources.Just in time production techniques ensure no products go to waste.Terraco works continuously to maximise the efficient use of non-renewable resources.
Sustainable buildings and, in particular, energy efficient buildings have become key benchmarks of a successful building design. Terraco's guaranteed Exterior Insulation Finishing System (EIFS):• Insulates buildings in such a way that it can reduce heating and cooling related energy consumption by up to 50%.• Gives tremendous ecological benefits, improved comfort and substantial cost savings.• Can be installed on both new builds and refurbishments.
Minimise energy consumption
Terraco's products are designed according to water based formulae and are therefore naturally environmentally friendly. They are low in harmful trace components such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde, which are present in most solvent based interior coatings.
Health conscious products
Terraco operates in many countries where water is a scarce resource and it has a strict no water wastage policy to ensure all water is put to good use.
Wherever feasible we recycle clean waste water from the production process.
Water - a precious commodity
We are proud to be recognised as a manufacturer of quality finishing materials in all the markets where we operate – a reputation we have earnt and been able to maintain since our founding.
Terraco's long-life products protect buildings for the long term and save resources.
Terraco - Durability and Quality
Terraco ensures it has minimal impact on surroundings and the neighbouring communities through:• Best practice production techniques.• Keeping clean, dust free factories.• Efficient delivery services.
Friendly neighbours
The environmental impact of buildings is often underestimated, while the perceived costs of green buildings can be overstated. Terraco believes in sustainable building and works actively to promote awareness and to inspire the construction industry to build green in a cost effective way.
Terraco is a supporter of building green

CELEBRATINGOUR WORLD IN WATER
Terraco EcoLife products combine low environmental impact with outstanding performance. Environmental benefits no longer have to be chosen at the expense of performance when specifying interior architectural coatings and decorative paints. Terraco products, carrying the EcoLife mark on their packaging, provide high quality, long lasting finishes with excellent application characteristics and colour choice in a water based range that is proven to have lower VOC levels than conventional paints. It is important to remember that the durability and life-span of a decorative finish have a significant environmental impact. Redecoration consumes energy, so a durable finish is intrinsically greener than a short-life one. Terraco offers a whole range of sustainable choices.
