PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
REMANUFACTURING OF PAINT (13 July 2015)

That this House notes that the average UK household harbours over 15 cans of leftover paint; encourages the remanufacturing of paint and seeks to increase the reuse rate of leftover decorative paint from two per cent to 50 per cent, decreasing the use of landfill sites for paint disposal; acknowledges that the All Party Manufacturing Group notes in its report Triple Win that the paint industry is on the cusp of developing a robust reuse remanufacturing market; supports PaintCare, the industry-led project by the British Coatings Federation, to help create a circular economy by recycling at least half of the 50 million litres of leftover decorative paint generated annually in the UK; further acknowledges that PaintCare is supported by decorative paint manufacturers, retailers, trade associations, waste management companies, local and national Government and other third-sector organisations; and further notes that these stakeholders are committed to working together to help create a sustainable circular economy through reuse and remanufacture.
