Each recovered paint container at the eco-centre becomes a valuable resource which then may be repurposed.
Laurentide Paint produces more than 4000 tons of recycled paint every year, thus, avoiding the manufacture of new paint which would then result in the emissions of nearly 8000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Reducing global emissions by 8000 tons is equivalent to removing close to 2000 cars from our roads every year.
To date, more than 100 000 000 kg have been recovered and diverted from landfills!
