Natural Paint Made from Apple Waste

A paint made entirely from natural materials – including apple waste – designed for temporary uses such as floor advertising and floor markings. That was the idea behind FOS Color, a South Tyrolean start-up founded around three years ago.

The team has developed a natural paint that can be washed off with water or simply left to be washed away by rain once it is no longer needed. “We make use of by-products that would otherwise be thrown away,” says Daniel von Johnston, co-founder of FOS Color. The paint has already found a range of uses at events and in other projects with temporary signage.

FOS Color is currently involved in a research project in collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. “This year, we realized that starting a business could actually become a reality,” says von Johnston. “The results so far confirm that we’re on the right track. So we’re now looking for investors who believe in our idea.”
