Global paints and coatings giant AkzoNobel has collaborated on a UK project looking at the viability of recycling household paint.
In the UK alone, over 300m litres of paint are bought each year, with as much as 15% going to waste, in the majority of cases ending up in landfill.
Part of the project saw AkzoNobel and design agency Seymourpowell consult with two existing paint-recycling enterprises - Newlife Paints based in Ford, West Sussex (currently sold in 170 B&Q stores around the UK), and Castle RePaint Scotland, a social enterprise based in Fife.
As part of a project, design agency Seymourpowell has a made an educational video highlighting the possibilities, as well as the benefits, of paint recycling, and also identified a completely new technology to help scale and speed up the paint recycling process for greater business viability.
