Answer: To prolong the shelf life of MH watercolour tubes, it is recommended to store them in a cool and dry location. This helps maintain the integrity and quality of the paints over time. Additionally, it is advised to store the tubes with their caps facing upwards. Storing them in this manner helps prevent any potential leakage or drying out of the paint.

By following these storage guidelines, artists can ensure that their MH watercolour tubes remain in optimal condition for an extended period, allowing them to continue enjoying the paints’ vibrant colours and smooth application.

Answer: MH is committed to promoting sustainable practices, including the proper disposal and recycling of packaging materials. We have implemented our own recycling program within our colour mill for the recycling of empty paint tubes. Artists can return their empty MH paint tubes through this program to support the recycling efforts.

Additionally, many art stores have their own recycling programs in place, and we encourage artists to inquire about these programs and participate accordingly. They may accept empty paint tubes for recycling, including those from MH.

Furthermore, the recycling of aluminium is becoming more widely available in various towns and cities. We recommend artists check with local stores or their local municipal recycling programs to determine if aluminium recycling options are available in their area.

By participating in recycling programs and exploring local recycling options, artists can contribute to sustainable practices and help ensure the proper disposal and recycling of MH paint tube packaging.
