Recycled Paint Standards & Certification System Goal: • Assure potential buyers, and others involved with paint procurement, of the quality and safety of recycled paint. Two Methods: • Develop composition and performance standards for recycled paint • Develop system for certifying that specific recycled paint products meet the standards. May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
Recycled Paint Certification Project • Funded by Dunn-Edwards Paint Corporation, Metro Oregon, and California Integrated Waste Management Board • Can the solution be market driven? • Major barrier to the manufacture of recycled paint is the lack of markets • Lack of procurement standards • Non-action on existing procurement standards • Perception by contractors, consumers, government that recycled content paint is inferior May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
Work Completed To Date • Cal Poly completed report laying out options for standards and certification. • Contracted with Green Seal to develop standard • Green Seal using MPI performance standards. • Assembled stakeholder committee • Internal stakeholder review of draft standard • Green Seal released proposed environmental standard - May 31 end of comment period. May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
Recycled Paint Certification Project #8 • Recycled Paint Certification establishes criteria for the environmental, safety, and performance characteristics of recycled content paint • Consolidated Paint (95% recycled content) • Reprocessed Paint (25%/50% recycled content) May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
Proposed Environmental Standard Collection and Sorting • Paints shall be in original container with intact label • Contents visually match label description • Each container shall be free of putrefication, skinning, livering, particulate matter, etc… • Paint shall be sorted by color and major color categories, and may be sorted by sheen/gloss and by use type interior/exterior • Paints shall be filtered through 300 micron or finer filter May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
Proposed Environmental Standard Product-Specific Performance Requirements • Documentation shall be provided indicating that the product being evaluated appears in the current edition of the MPI Approved Products List under the category for intended application • Green Seal seeks comments on post-blending quality control testing May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
Proposed Environmental Standard Product-Specific Health and Env’l Requirements • Product manufacturer shall demonstrate VOC level of the product does not exceed 200 g/l • VOC shall be tested every 100,000 gallons and at least annually • Shall contain no more than 1% by weight of aromatic compounds for the virgin components. Testing for the concentration of these compounds shall be performed if they are determined to be present during materials audit • Complete list of chemicals not allowed in the virgin material or additives in the consolidation or reprocessing of product – include aeromatics, metals, ketones, volatile organics, etc. May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
Proposed Environmental Standard Product Packaging • Paint cans and components are not fabricated with lead • Every effort shall be made to use product containers that are recyclable in most communities • Packaging shall have statement discouraging disposal into storm drains and encouraging contact with local authorities for proper management • VOC levels shall be listed if verified through certification process May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
Comments to Date on Proposed Environmental Standard • VOC limit should be raised to 250g/L Key Issue: Competing environmental criteria – air quality/VOC level vs. recycled content May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
Green Seal Standards Development • A “consensus-based” process. • Subsequently, each manufacturer would submit products for certification. • Green Seal would come “audit” facility to verify process standards are being met. • Manufacturer would pay one-time fee for product certification and an annual monitoring fee. May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
