A blue Volkswagen ID.Buzz stands out against a vibrant abstract background, divided into three sections: deep blue on the left, green with yellow streaks in the middle, and red on the right.

We’re painting Canada green

Whether it’s a pollution absorbing car coverOpen external link or bringing back our iconic bus in an All-Electric version, we’re always trying to look at the world through a more sustainable lens. That’s why we’ve commissioned a unique series of murals across the country that use carbon-eating paint. Going green has never looked this vibrant.

Going big

Covering a combined surface area of approximately 5,650 square feet - that’s larger than an NBA size basketball court - across Edmonton and Toronto, these murals will be unmissable in size, scale and environmental ambition.

Yeah, we did just casually say carbon-eating paint

It’s a thing. The secret ingredient is lime paste, which helps this graphene paint absorb CO2 to improve air quality, as well as limiting pathogens. The paint works to absorb pollution for as long 10 years after being applied.

Three original visions from three unique muralists

The map displays the location at 10025 106 St, Edmonton, AB.

Artist: AJA Louden
Location: Edmonton

AJA Louden is an Edmonton based artist of Jamaican and Canadian heritage. His free-hand spray painted portraits of cultural and historical figures can be found across his home province of Alberta, as well as internationally in cities including Berlin, Barcelona and Prague. The largest of the three murals, Louden’s will feature portraiture that captures the emotions of how good driving the All-Electric ID. Buzz can feel.

Artist: Murals By Marg
Location: Toronto

The work of Margaret Cresswell AKA Murals by Marg is marked by her talent for transforming unassuming city walls into surreal portals of serene and dreamlike natural scenery. Her mural in the heart of Toronto’s bustling Queen St West will create the illusion of an All-Electric ID. Buzz driving through the wall from an airy and vibrant mountain scene.

Giving a green boost to the BUMP festival

We’ve committed to donate $15,000 worth of carbon-eating paint to Calgary’s community led street art festival BUMP. The paint will be put to use on a 2500 square foot mural that will work to absorb local pollution over the next 5-years.

Keep thinking green

More and more, we’re seeing sustainable alternatives emerge to help make our everyday lives a little greener. Whether it’s switching to an electric vehicle, exploring the applications of pollution-eating paint, or even just ensuring you’re using a biodegradable compost bag, anything that helps make your habits more sustainable is a great start.
