House Paint Has a Microplastic Problem
When Spanish paint company Graphenstone launched a collaboration with Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum in April, it took inspiration from objects in the museum’s collection—from the off-white in Rossetti’s 1879 painting The Day Dream to the maple wood used by violin maker Antonio Stradivari. The 16 shades also had something else in common: Each paint is made with long-lasting graphene instead of plastic.
