Creating healthy and sustainable spaces through paint.
This is the mission that Frédéric Dekeuleneer, founder of Galtane, a committed Belgian company that restores its letters of nobility to forgotten techniques that respect health and the environment.
In this episode of the podcast Kaya – Paroles d'écopreneurs, Frédéric shares an inspiring journey, from his first straw bale projects in the 90s to the creation of innovative products, capable of treating wood without biocides or PFAS.
He defends a strong vision: to do business differently is to do business normally. And while its products based on silicates, natural oils and mineral materials are now praised for their performance, they are still struggling to establish themselves in the face of the behemoths of conventional chemistry. What for? Labour costs, European regulations, lack of political relays...
Frédéric campaigns for economic biodiversity, for more concrete education, for a profound change in our relationship with housing. He does it with passion, technicality and honesty.
This exchange, recorded at the Batibouw fair, shows how creating healthy, sustainable spaces is an entrepreneurial, ecological and profoundly human act.
Listen to if you believe we can build a healthier future, brick by brick, layer by layer.
