For over 30 years, we have been proud to sponsor Community Repaint. Community RePaint is a UK wide paint reuse network. They collect leftover paint and redistribute it to individuals and groups in the community, enabling low-income households in communities across the UK to decorate their homes. The network is made up of over 80 schemes from the Isle of Wight to the Scottish Highlands with a common goal of promoting reuse and saving waste. They also provide work experience, giving people a route back into the workplace.
Did you know that each year an estimated 50 million litres of paint goes to waste in the UK? This leftover paint is either thrown away or stored in homes or garages despite over 50% of it still being usable. Community RePaint aims to end this by offering a solution for leftover paint and making it available for reuse. .
But it doesn’t stop there, Community RePaint also remanufacture their own brand of paint called ReColour, available in larger volumes for bigger projects. ReColour is made from the same surplus and leftover paint which is filtered, blended and treated to produce a ‘nearly new’ product.
