FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Other creatives have asked us...

Will you switch Liquitex Basics Acrylic Canvas to recycled fabric?

Due to the higher cost of recycled materials, Liquitex Recycled Canvas is only in our Professional category at the moment. We'd love to bring it to our Liquitex Basics range if the price comes down in the future.

What is Liquitex Recycled Canvas made of?

The fabric is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, primed with gesso and then stretched to a FSC-certified wooden frame.

What are the eco benefits of using Liquitex Recycled Canvas?

You're helping to keep plastics out of our oceans and landfills. Using less natural plant resources. And helping to sustain a global commodity market for recycled PET plastics.

Is the cardboard label in the corner Liquitex Recycled Canvas made using sustainable materials?

Yes. The cardboard is made from 100% recycled content and is fully recyclable.

How long is Liquitex Recycled Canvas lightfast for?

It will be lightfast for at least 100 years in gallery conditions, without yellowing or changing color.

Does a Liquitex Recycled Canvas feel like a regular cotton canvas?

It's a similar flexibility to regular cotton canvas and a little heavier weight-wise. We've given it to artists to blind-test and they didn't notice any major differences, with many preferring the weight of the recycled cloth. Rather than the composition of the fiber, canvas flexibility usually depends on how tightly it's woven and the flexibility of the gesso primer.

Does the fabric contain anything other than recycled plastic bottles?

No. It is woven from thread made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.

What is Waste2Wear?

An innovative organization pioneering solutions for plastic recycling, using blockchain technology to deliver 100% traceable and sustainable textiles. Read more on their website here.

Why are you working with Waste2Wear?

Liquitex is based on innovation and we're passionate about bringing artists new materials. We are doing what we can to ensure there's a world that's full of possibilities for future generations of artists to thrive. For our latest canvas project, we wanted to do something different. A collaboration with Waste2Wear - specialists in turning waste plastics into textiles - was logical. They create the recycled cloth from plastic bottles and then we have it primed and readied for artists.

What's the weight difference between the raw canvas roll and the stretched primed canvas?

The raw canvas roll is 13.6oz/385g. The stretched canvases have a primed weight of 20oz/565g.

What is the responsible disposal guidance for the packaging?

The cardboard packaging label is made from 100% recycled content and is fully recyclable. The shrink-wrap is also made of 100% recycled content and is fully recyclable. Recyclable guidelines will be different for each local authority and should be checked for both the cardboard packaging label and shrink-wrap.

The Canvas is the best,

— G B. (5/5)

Excellent recycled canvas!

"I have no complaints about this canvas. Excellent for a mixed media project, the canvas was stiff and slightly textured, but texture didn't negatively impact the end result. Liquitex is an industry standard for a reason!"

— Clem (5/5)

Great product!

"I used this canvas to paint a quick little painting for my granddaughter. It's a very firm canvas that my paints took to very well. I really enjoyed using this product and will definitely purchase and use again."

— Kandrew (5/5)

You'd never know its made out of plastic bottles

"This canvas feels & paints just like regular regular canvas. I love the fact that is made out of recycled plastic bottles. You'd think it would easily absorb the paint but it totally does. You won't regret purchasing this canvas!"

— Nikkih (5/5)

What a great way to recycle!

"I am shocked by this canvas. It feels and acts just like fabric but it's recycled bottles! It came pre-primed. The paint adheres well. I really like the overall value and outcome of the painting. I'll definitely be buying this canvas and other recycled material based supplies in the future."

— Ash.C (5/5)

Earth Friendly Product

"The Liquitex recycled canvas is a great product and I will be purchasing this canvas over the non recycled canvas from now on. The canvas itself is high quality and it produces quality paintings. The paint glides on very smoothly and feels just like a regular cotton canvas."

— Renee G. (5/5)

Helping the planet one artwork at a time

"I wasn't expecting the Liquitex Recycled Canvas to be as high quality as it was. I love that it's made from recycled bottles and FSC certified wood, and even the label is recycled content and all packaging is fully recyclable ! It comes already primed which made it easy to get started. It's a bit heavier weight cloth than regular canvas, but I actually liked that better, since I am using a mix of regular acrylic, heavy body acrylic, and some other media on this piece. Unfortunately due to a health issue I have not been able to work on the piece much to show any photos ( it is also going to be a surprise gift). Liquitex has made a great product, one that I will be using exclusively from now on. You can feel good that you're going to create great artwork and also do your bit to help get plastic out of the ecosystem."

— Messy M. (5/5)

My new favorite canvas

"This canvas was such amazing quality! It was sturdy and had a little bit of weight to it which I personally prefer. You can definitely tell how well this was made and I'm going to be buying more!"

— Annie M. (5/5)
