Leftover Paint Age Profile
• Paint Age Study Performed by NW Product Stewardship Council - Paint Advisory Group
• Batch code on some paint can lids or labels identifies age of paint.
• Initial survey findings shown in DC to outline difficulties and verify/modify method for the broader regional effort.
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004

Age of Paint Study – Anticipated Outcomes
• Survey should provide an estimated regional profile for age of leftover paint in the northwest.
• There might be differences in the type and/or quality of leftover paint in other regions. Not sure if they would be significant. Duplication of NW study in other regions may be prudent, worth discussing.
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004

Results of Age of Left Over Paint Study
• Compiled and analyzed data sets from 5 cities or counties in Puget Sound
• Was not able to get information from E. WA nor OR
• Puget Sound data reflects initial data presented at DC meeting.
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
10
Overall Findings From Age of Paint Study
• There is more oil-based paint brought to collection sites than the proportion sold
• Homeowners hold onto their left over paint a long time,
• most more than 5 years,
• many for more than a decade
• And now for the details……..

Implications of Age Study
• If historic practices continue…
– It will take at least 6 years to collect 50% of the left over paint cans in storage
– It will take over 13 years to collect 90% of the left over paint cans in storage
– Less than 4 % of left over paint is > 20 years old
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
18
Implications of Paint Age Study (cont.)• If historic practices continue…
– Proportionally more left over oil-based (alkyd) paint will be stored and returned than latex paint (difference between sales & collection).
– There will be significant volumes of oil-based paints needing proper disposal (generally unavailable now)
– Perhaps an average of 45% oil-based paint (±20% depending on community, ±10% in WA over time)
– Customers manage or retain oil-based and latex paints differently.
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004

EPA Leftover Paint Quantity Study• PSI Initial Estimate of Leftover Paint Generation:
– 5% of sales, not including painting contractors, retailers
• Study by EPA’s Sector Strategies Program – report in draft form
• Study method: Refining previous PSI estimate by adding paint collected at HHW programs to paint disposed of in solid waste (from state waste characterization studies)
• Preliminary EPA study estimates between 8.8% to 22% of sales become left over paint
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
20
Results of Leftover Paint Quantity Study
• Barry to update us at the meeting – study is hot off the press!
• May need follow-up research depending on the results.
• Both the Leftover Paint Quantity Study and Paint Age Project have no costs related to them because they have already been done.
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
21
Percentage of Recycled Paint
• Survey paint recyclers to determine what percentage of the paint received is of high enough quality to be recycled?
• Of total volume of paint received, what percentage is reused or could be reused?
• 20 responses to survey• Conclusions: See following slides…

Paint Reuse Primer
• Goal is to finish Primer on How to Implement a Paint Reuse Center
• Disseminate the Primer
• Measure the number of new paint swaps starting based on information in Primer
• Cost $1,000 and be published by April 2005
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
25
ContainersGoals Established
• Develop BMPs for container recycling• Lifecycle analysis for plastic container recycling• Lifecycle analysis for metal container recycling• Investigate change in container designs to reduce
spoilage and increase recycling
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
26
Containers: Next Steps
• Proposed Project – Increasing Container Recycling– Cost $118,750– Completed December 2005
• Determine need to develop Container Lifecycle Study– Is this a valuable project?– Who could be the lead?– What would it cost?
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
27
Leftover Paint Management Guidance for Contractors
• $ave Money and the Environment• 1. Size up your paint requirement needs for each
particular job. Careful volume assesment will eliminate over purchasing costs, storage concerns and paint disposal costs. Whenever possible, use-up leftover paint from previous jobs as either a primer or if appropriate as a top coat.
• 2. Responsible contractors remove all materials from the jobsite upon completion. Excess paint should not be left for the client to manage.
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
28
Leftover Paint Management Guidance for Contractors (cont)
• 3. Store paint to keep it fresh. Proper paint storage will eliminate safety concerns and keep the paint fresh. (itemize storage suggestions). Be sure to date containers and review inventory periodically for freshness.
• 4. Re-use and Recycle – If you can’t make use of the paint yourself….(.insert same info) If no re-use opportunities are available to you, visit www.earth911.com for paint recycling companies
in your area.
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
29
Leftover Paint Management Guidance for Contractors (cont)
5. Dispose of the paint properly. If re-use and recycling options are not available to you, you may need to dispose of the leftover paint. Local waste management companies can provide you with an estimated cost for their disposal services. While it is not considered safe to air dry alkyd or oilbase paints, some regions may permit the drying out of small amounts of latex paint. (give the directions as BMP)

National Infrastructure Model
• Model will incorporate information gathered in other portfolio studies which are to be completed by May 2005
• Model will be geared toward 5-year implementation
• Model will provide basis for Consultant to develop Infrastructure Cost Analysis
• Model completion July 2005• Cost $138,750
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
31
Infrastructure Cost Analysis
• This project is based on the Infrastructure Model being completed.
• Recommend hiring the same consultant to assist with the Model as will work on the Cost Analysis so there is familiarity and consistency
• Project scheduled to begin June of 2005• Cost $70,000
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
32
New Hampshire Exporting Post Consumer Paint for Recycling
• Project Manager is Melanie Wheeler of the State of NH Grant Program
• Objective is to determine economic and administrative feasibility of collecting paint and exporting to Canada for recycling.
• Performance will be measured by comparing cost savings per gallon to existing program which sends it to incineration.
• Project will be considered successful if the cost of export for recycling is the same or less than the cost of incineration.
• Will be reviewed by Infrastructure Group for incorporation of any new data into the Infrastructure Model.
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
33
National Council on Paint Disposition (NCPD) Collection Project
• Project manager is NCPD, Marv Goodman
• Transportation and collection currently underway
• Other portions are being evaluated through Project Engineers at Rutgers University for feasibility
• May need additional funding
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
34
Chittenden VT and Paint Recycling Company Pilot Project
• Project Manager - Jen Holliday, Chittenden Solid Waste District
• Collecting paint and shipping to Paint Recycling Company for recycling.
• Determine cost to reprocess and sell paint as “Local Color”
• Testing to see if paint recycling is more cost effective than disposal
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
35
Develop Effective Infrastructructure Models – Next Steps
• Determine infrastructure needed to manage leftover paint generated.
• Refine model to collect leftover paint most efficiently (using white paper, results from all other projects, and a consultant to assist with mapping).
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
36
Network Existing Reuse Databases – Portfolio Project
• Earth 911 (www.Earth911.org/1-800-CLEANUP) has integrated ReDO database of approximately 95 reuse locations into existing Earth 911 database.
• Earth 911 looking for new paint locations/programs/sources and updating HHW/paint-related listings as part of Earth 911’s daily updates.
• No cost project – already completed
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
37
Finalize Leftover Paint Best Management Practices
• Leftover Paint Consumer Guidance (BMPs) completed and turned over to Education Group
• Guidance posted on PSI, Earth 911, and NPCA websites
• Goal achieved!
• Now, the Education Subgroup will test the theory that the guidance will change behavior through the Leftover Paint Management Guidance for Consumers Project.
PSI Paint Dialogue Sept. 20-21, 2004
