There has been a fantastic resurgence in the prevalence of wallpaper in the last couple of years, but since many of the products out there are coated with PVC (which conveys known health risks) or utilize toxic glues, wallpapering could be problematic for those people trying to go green. Luckily things are changing, with more and more designers and businesses picking an earth-friendly approach. With offerings which have clay coatings that increase durability to recycled and sustainably harvested materials and water-based inks, these eight industry innovators are stepping up to the plate together with solutions to the eco friendly wallpaper conundrum.
