> Research into Paints Eco Packaging
Dulux has revealed new paint packs, which it claims will reduce waste to landfill by more than 70% compared to the standard can.
It an Eco-refill 2.5litre pouch which unfortunately has little secondary use, its limited to the job refill your the tin or pallet. However there is a problem as many customers appreciate the idea of a paint tin because of their robustness, especially during transportation between store and home, and in storage.
This is not robust at all and I can see many accident happening.
Although these aren't paint tins (they are eco food container), the lids could be a solution for the plastic lid/metal lids, allowing reuse over and over. they can be washed and be taken in for a refill in the tin when needed.
Eco friendly flower/plant pots!
Great idea for reusing plants as light shades - of course all shapes and sizes for different places. They can even be used as storage containers for brushes and pens.
Natural containers! This would be a great idea using wood bark, unfortunatley this is not a paint container and paint would seep through and destroy the contents.However, combined with the first idea it provides a robust shell in which a bag of paint could fit!
31 July 2013 - A new plastic paint pail developed by RPC Containers Oakham for manufacturer
Newlife Paints incorporates 25% recycled content.The design – developed by
RPC Oakham with UK suppliers of recycled plastics to ensure a high-grade polymer capable of withstanding the weight of paint.Tests showed that the
optimum proportion of recycled polymer for the
5-litre injection moulded PP pail was 25%, in order to maintain the
highest standard of consumer functionality and convenience.
