Sustainable Canvas turns recycled plastic into professional-grade painting surfaces and studio tools designed for everyday use.
Our range includes primed RPET canvas rolls, the Sustainable Canvas Book, recycled painting palettes and multi-use painting pots, all created to make painting easier to set up, easier to clean up and better for the planet.
The canvas is archival, mould resistant and made to perform like a traditional professional canvas, without relying on virgin materials. The studio tools are practical, beautiful and designed to be used again and again.
Whether you’re painting a finished piece, testing ideas, working in a classroom or simply making space to create, our products are made to support the full painting process from first brushstroke to clean-up.
Tools to allow ideas to land
“I love a smooth surface and I wasn’t sure how a recycled canvas would compare, but I was really suprised! This has a much lower tooth than regular cotton canvas and the paint glides on beautifully.”

Let customers speak for us
Ok this sustainable canvas book is brilliant. I work a lot on canvas and have always ended up with little scraps everywhere filled with ideas, colour tests and technique experiments, now I can keep them all together in one beautiful book.
It’s the perfect size and I’ve found it so handy for testing out these new ideas and techniques before committing to a larger canvas. But honestly, some of the smaller pieces end up becoming little artworks of their own!
The pages are also super easy to tear out, which is such a great feature. If I create something I really love, I can simply tear it out, pop it in a frame and voilà instant mini artwork.
It’s 5 stars from me!!
I had been wanting to start painting for a while and this set made it so easy to start. I don't get worried about ruining a canvas anymore and just paint for the enjoyment
Our class pitched in for teacher's day and she still talks about her pots! She told us she went and bought more different colours for herself too. They're such great colours.
I bought The Creative Reset bundle recently and it’s one of the nicest things I’ve bought for myself in a long time. Everything feels really premium without being over the top.
The canvas book is beautiful to paint on and I love that I can just leave it on the table and come back to it whenever I have a spare half hour. The palette peeling clean is weirdly satisfying too 😂
What I didn’t expect was how much it would help me switch off mentally. I spend so much time on screens and thinking about work and this has become the one thing that actually slows my brain down a bit. Thank you
My son bought me a Sustainable Canvas Book as something to use while I’m undergoing chemotherapy & I have absolutely loved it.
Easy term to through around, but I’m not as focussed on the nausea anymore, I feel like I’m doing something with my days instead of just feeling crap, so thank you for this book. It feels like a new beginning for me.
Alannah i have been slowly replacing all of our equipment in our art rooms with your products for a while now. I was so excited to receive the last order of pallets AND containers! The students love them and were super excited when they got to use them. Thank you for making a tough ( we have had a couple of split pots) and also beautiful equipment that lasts and encourages creativity while looking after our environment!
Thanks Louisa Visual Arts Teacher
I’ve been painting on sustainable canvas for a while now and find it’s great to paint on, excellent quality and environmentally friendly; so many pluses. I’ve recently purchased the canvas booklet which is great for travel or painting studies. The pages easily tare out. Well done Sustainable Canvas
Feels great to paint on the canvas and delivered quickly.
I absolutely love these canvasses and Alanah is amazing to deal with
if you get nothing else from this shop, these pots are fantastic. it's the perfect volume of liquid, at least for me, and wide enough to lay brushes over it OR very briefly rest them inside since its at a slight angle. washes out super easy and they have a decent weight them. as a serial 'knocks my water container all over my projects' type person, i appreciate the stability.
extremely easy to clean palette with super smooth surface that is perfect for mixing. i've been a disposable palette person for awhile now but i'm finally free!
I’m loving my recycled canvas and cup. i haven’t tried the palette yet! I’m using watercolours up that my granddaughters have put in our old plastic circular palettes
Great starter kit for a greener, more mindful studio. Quality tools and sustainable materials!
I bought an art canvas from Sustainable Canvas for my new painting project, and I’m really happy with it. The canvas texture is smooth yet sturdy — my acrylics go on beautifully without bleeding through
