A Canadian Success Story
Canada leads the world in post-consumer paint recycling:
- collecting more than 28 million kilograms of leftover paint last year
- with enough recycled paint to paint 560,000 average size home
- diverting waste paint from landfills and saving related landfill costs
- with manufacturers responsible for 100 percent of the costs
- preserving valuable natural resources for future use
- conserving energy for other purposes
- creating green jobs
CPCA highlights the importance of this worthwhile initiative and promotes it under the PaintCare brand in Canada for the benefit of members, consumers and the environment.
