ECO friendly products comes into surface one after another

What does it mean to be environmentally friendly?: Products which are born from nature, products that create and support a sustainable environment, and products that help reduce electricity and gasoline emissions.
Why are water-based paints called environmentally friendly?: In the past, paints generally used thinner as a diluent.
Since thinner is an organic solvent, it contains components that are likely harmful for our body.
As for water-based paint, they are basically paints which can be diluted with tap water, so there is no need to use thinner and therefore it is said to be environmentally friendly.
Is there a paint that will improve the fuel efficiency of ships?: On fishing boats, marine organisms such as barnacles often attach themselves to the bottom of the ships.
Since that can be the cause for the ship to become slower in movement, that kind of phenomenon could consume more fuel for the ship.
Stable fuel efficiency can be achieved by applying a paint that does not adhere to the bottom of the ship so such phenomenon can be avoided.
Are ECO-friendly products more expensive than general products?: Water-based paints tends to have a higher price than solvent-based paints, but since they do not require thinner, they are about the same price in total.
