National Post-Consumer Paint Management System: NPCA Resolution Overview (2006-2007)

In September 2006, the NPCA Board addressed the need for a national post-consumer paint management system, responding to requests from state and local governments. The March 2007 resolution emphasized funding, the roles of industry and government, and consumer education in reducing leftover paint. Concerns about cost-effectiveness in rural areas and the handling of oil-based paint were highlighted. The proposal involved partnerships between industry and government, aiming for a pilot project to refine processes and enhance accountability.

  1. NPCA Board Resolution

  2. September 2006 – PPSI Meeting • State and Local governments requested a decision from NPCA at its March 2007 Board meeting • Will the industry help finance a national post consumer paint management system?

  3. NPCA Board Resolution • As per the government request – on March 21, 2007 – NPCA Board approved the “resolution” • However, NPCA was able to reach consensus by acknowledging there are “important considerations that must be addressed in a definitive way…” • These concerns can be summarized under the headings of • Funding • Roles of industry/government • Role of recycling.

  4. Important Considerations • Consumer education must be a cornerstone of the system, to reduce the volume of leftover paint and the cost of its management • Collecting or recycling latex paint in rural areas is not cost-effective • Collecting or recycling latex paint in cans less than one-third full is also not cost-effective • Oil-based paint should be collected for disposal (due to its ignitability)

  5. Important Considerations (cont.) • No mandatory “take back” at retail locations – although retailers and manufacturers may take back product voluntarily • Industry expects to partner with government to share the cost and responsibility of managing post-consumer paint • Where available, existing government collection infrastructure should be utilized • Where non-existent, industry may need to subsidize a new collection system (e.g., such as the “Product Care” system in British Columbia)

  6. Important Considerations (cont.) • Paint collection and management must be as cost-effective as possible • Costs should be fair, transparent to the consumer, and collected at retail • An industry-run organization is needed to collect and allocate funds with full accountability

  7. Pilot • A pilot project is needed to work out details of system, including: • Project funding • Scope dependent • Retailer activities • Industry/Government Roles • Build on current collection • Disposal options • Role of Recycling • Existing facilities • Viability of expansion

  8. MOU Seek NPCA Board approval July 2007 Goals/Objectives: • Continue PPSI dialogue • Pursue the development of a nationally coordinated system • Undertake a pilot project to work through critical issues and gather information

  9. Work Agreements for Pilot Project: Timeframe – 24 months (6 months to plan/develop, 12 months to execute, and six months to review results/ramp up for national promotion) Location Defined roles/responsibilities Program funding Role of recycling Goals/measurements MOU

  10. MOU Limitations: • Voluntary • NPCA to sign on behalf of industry Appendix: • Pilot Project details
