Community RePaint network calls for Local Authority backing as it celebrates 25 years of paint reuse
Community RePaint, run by Resource Futures, an independent environmental consultancy, celebrated 25 years of paint recycling in 2018, diverting over 5.5 million litres of paint from the waste stream across the UK.
The network of paint reuse schemes, which was founded in 1993 as a small pilot project in Leeds, now numbers 65 active schemes across the UK, but there are still large gaps of coverage especially in Scotland, Northern Ireland and some areas of England. Key areas of focus in 2019 include London, Birmingham, Scotland and South Wales.
