Paint Zero Secures World First Patent for Plant-Based Waterless Paint

UK Company leads paint industry into fossil-free future with breakthrough innovation.

FROME, SOMERSET, UNITED KINGDOM, June 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Paint Zero Ltd., the British innovator in sustainable coatings, has been granted a patent for its groundbreaking 100% plant-based concentrated dry powder paint. The patent, the first of its kind, secures the company’s uniquely disruptive formulation and dry-powder production method.

This announcement comes at a crucial moment for the industry, offering a sustainable solution to a sector in urgent need of transformation. Designed to meet the growing climate goals of the construction, interior design, and coatings industries; Paint Zero’s dry-powder format eliminates the environmental impacts of traditional liquid paints. The product is shipped in compact, resealable paper packaging and mixed with tap water at point-of-use, slashing transport emissions by over 75% and avoiding plastic and metal waste entirely.

“Our product represents more than innovation, it’s proof that as an industry we can break our reliance on fossil fuels without compromising performance, beauty, or safety.” said Ross Harling, inventor of Paint Zero.

The patent was filed in the UK and via the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) covering international markets. It protects both the composition and the production methods, enabling Paint Zero to scale its operations with partners in Europe and beyond.

“This patent confirms Paint Zero’s role as a global leader in sustainable paint chemistry,” said Ross Harling, inventor of PAINT ZERO.
