Participants Sought for Paint-Product Stewardship Project
WASHINGTON - The Product Stewardship Institute, based at the University of Massachusetts/Lowell, has launched the "Paint Product Stewardship Project," a program aimed at bringing key parties together to jointly address issues related to leftover-paint management.
The institute is proposing a dialogue among representatives of coatings-industry associations, major paint manufacturers, key paint retailers, environmental/consumer advocates, paint recyclers, painting contractors, state and local governments, and other parties. The objectives of the discussions could include the development of a national post-consumer paint policy, the National Paint & Coatings Association said.
