UK Coatings Industry Pledges to Achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2050
COVENTRY, UK — British Coatings Federation (BCF) members have joined other sectors in pledging to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The commitment was made at the recent BCF Board of Directors meeting in Manchester, England, and will be backed up by more detailed Net Zero Roadmaps for each BCF sector.
The industry has also committed to a highly ambitious target for its paint recycling scheme, PaintCare. This scheme, which aims to create a circular economy for leftover decorative paint in the UK, will aim to increase the percentage leftover paint re-used, recycled or re-manufactured from 2% today to 75% by 2030.
