AkzoNobel opens second paint re-manufacturing centre in UK

AkzoNobel has opened a paint re-manufacturing centre in the Wirral, UK, which recovers and recycles waste paint into a low-cost, high quality product for not-for-profit causes.

The facility at the Recipro community reuse centre in Wallasey is the second paint re-manufacturing centre opened in the UK by AkzoNobel through its partnership with Community RePaint. Through the scheme, waste paint that would normally end up in landfill or go unused will be collected, recycled and then redistributed to community groups and those in need, such as flood victims and low-income households.

The method of re-manufacturing waste paint into a low-cost but high-quality product was developed over four years of collaboration between AkzoNobel, Community RePaint and other industry partners.
