Despite a positive shift in attitudes about waste and recycling in recent years, there is one household product that is still being wasted in scandalous quantities:paint.

As part of its PaintCare program, the British Coatings Federation (BCF) has launched a new website and digital campaign that aim to help people in the UK make better use of their leftover paint.

GreenMantra™ Technologies has completed construction of a new manufacturing plant, significantly expanding its capacity and the availability of its products.

A major Dutch initiative designed to investigate how waste can be used as a raw material to produce chemicals has more than doubled in size since being launched late last year.

TRADEBE announced an expansion at the company’s facility in East Chicago, IN. Due to growing demands of the industrial waste market, TRADEBE has designed and built “SDS2,” which is an additional Solids Distillation System, (SDS).

Ardleigh Minerals Inc., a recycler for the aerospace and thermal spray industries based in Beachwood, OH, has developed a process to recycle spent sodium bicarbonate blast media.

Back in October of last year, this blog discussed what is termed the Regenerative Circular Economy in which coated products are recycled at the end of their useful lives, either in whole or in part rather than being incinerated or landfilled.

Last month, this blog received a valuable comment from Jerry Turner of Vitro Minerals. He reminded readers that glass is one of those materials that is ideally suited to recycling over and over again. With glass powders now being used in industrial primers, roof coatings and various sealants, he points out that recycled glass gives coating formulators another tool to increase their sustainability.
