The recycled paint is made using unused paint that was previously destined for landfill

The process uses between 90and 95% recycled paint in each pot and can currently reuse five tonnes of paint per week, preventing incineration or land filling of the substance.
The Yorkshire company will supply the paint to public sector organisations such as councils, schools and housing associations as well as trade and business customers. In addition, a small selection of carefully chosen distributors will also sell to the public.
Available in a wide variety of colours in matt, eggshell or silk finish, the paints have the same high performance as the most well know brands but are priced considerably lower, creating a viable recycled alternative to new products.
MD Jason Elliott commented: “Paint is one of the least recycled materials in common use, so I am delighted that we can offer organisations the opportunity to keep so much of it out of landfill.”
The range is also available with an optional anti-bacterial element, making them ideal for health and education sectors.
