WDO Approves Plan to Increase Paint Recycling in Ontario
TORONTO, Ontario - On December 10, 2014, Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) approved an industry-led plan by Product Care Association (Product Care) that will result in increased diversion of paint from Ontario’s landfills and more opportunities for consumers to recycle their used paint and coatings, without the need for municipalities to change existing arrangements with service providers.
“The WDO Board’s decision to approve Product Care’s plan means more places to drop off unwanted or leftover paint and coatings, and more products included in the program,” said Michael Scott, WDO’s CEO. “More paint and coatings will be collected, leading to more recycling and a cleaner environment for all Ontarians.”
