Re:Mix Recycled Paint FAQs
At Little Greene, we try to be as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible. Unfortunately, we do have some waste paint that comes back to our factory - so Re:mix was developed to find a solution and solve this problem.
What is Re:mix?
Our collection of recycled paints, Re:mix will see damaged and unwanted stock expertly blended and reformulated to create a beautiful matt finish for interior walls.

Is Re:mix a Little Greene finish?
Re:mix is a unique Little Greene finish, created from a blend of waste paints. The result is a beautiful matt paint suitable for interior use on walls and ceilings.
Absolute Matt, Intelligent Matt and Intelligent Eggshell are all used to make up a tin of Re:mix. The sheen level is 5%, providing a beautiful matt product, perfect for use all around the home.
Will Re:mix look different to other Little Greene paints?
Re:mix paint comes in a unique tin that is entirely distinguished from the standard Little Greene packaging. The Re:mix tin features artwork by Caroline Dowsett, a Manchester-based artist and maker who previously created an inspiring mural using our paints at The Whitworth Art Gallery.

Can I buy Re:mix paint at any time?
We produce Re:mix recycled paint in limited, individual batches. As we only have a limited amount of waste paint, each batch of colours is unique.
If your preferred shade is out of stock in the Re:mix collection, you may choose to order the same paint colour from our Colours of England or Colour Scales palette of environmentally-friendly finishes.
Is recycled paint cheaper than new paint?
Re:mix recycled paint is available in 2.5l tins for just £28.
Can you recycle any paint?
Paint recycling differs between water-based and oil-based paints. For more details about how to recycle paint, please read our guide to paint recycling.
Can I return my unused paint to Little Greene to be used for Re:mix?
At the moment, we are unable to accept paint returns, as not all paint can be recycled in the same way. Currently, the paint that we recycle to produce Re:mix is taken from damaged stock.
