Rewards

If you return your old and used brushes to our London store at 41-49 Kingsland Road, London, E2 8AG, we'll arrange for responsible disposal and offer you 20% OFF a purchase of new ones on the same day!

1 returned brush = 1 discounted brush. 

The number of brushes returned is equal to the number of brushes which can be purchased at 20% discount. To participate in the offer you must be registered with GreatArt. This discount cannot be combined with another offer but can be used on multiple occasions each time old brushes are brought to the store. This discount is not available on the I LOVE ART range, nor can it be applied to items which are already discounted from RRP or catalogue price. GreatArt reserves the right to terminate this offer at any time.

Optimisation of our Logistics

We are working with all our employees and partners to increase environmental protection and sustainability. For example, since we converted the lighting systems in our logistics centre from fluorescent tubes to LED lighting, we have saved more than 30% energy, and the building's new insulation has resulted in energy savings of 25%. These are the first steps towards our goal of emitting less CO2. Our employees also pay attention to being environmentally conscious. We print as little as possible, turn off lights that are not needed, separate waste carefully and collect plastic separately. Our logistics is equipped with a computerised system which calculates the appropriate packaging for your order. This has allowed us to reduce cardboard consumption by 20%, whilst still providing your art materials with optimal protection during transit.

Use of recyclable materials

All the packaging used for our mail order parcels, from the outer cardboard boxes to the packing materials used inside to protect fragile items are 100% recyclable. The same goes for the carrier bags provided from our London store. The packing paper we use is also completely reusable and of good quality, many of our customers use it for drawing and sketching! We also recycle cardboard packaging by producing our packing pads with an in house machine.

Eco-friendly art materials

We provide eco-friendly materials from top quality manufacturers. These include Mabef Easels and Clairefontaine papers which are made from wood that has been sourced from sustainable, FSC approved forests. Clairefontaine also uses selected inks, glues and finishing products to ensure their products can be fully recycled, and generates 80% of their own power to help reduce their carbon footprint.

Developing our own eco-friendly products

As well as a supplier, GreatArt is also a product developer, offering our very own Gerstaecker, I LOVE ART and Artist Junior brands where we favour an eco-friendly credential. All the wood from our canvas stretcher bars comes from FSC approved, sustainably managed forests. Our Gerstaecker No. 5 Paper is made from 100% recycled materials and we develop eco-friendly solvents such as brush cleaners with biodegradable compositions to be kind to the environment.
