U.S. Paint EPR: Challenges & Opportunities Webinar

May 25, 2023

Now in its second decade of operations, PaintCare – a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization created by the American Coatings Association – has collected more than 63 million gallons of leftover household paint, most of which has been reused (5%), recycled into new paint (71%), or used for other products or fuel (15%). As both the environmental and business communities look ahead to building a more circular economy, PaintCare is expanding its footprint into new states and products, while recycled paint manufacturers are working to grow domestic markets. 

The webinar was open for the entire PSI community to attend; however, the recording is accessible only to PSI’s Members and Partners.
