  2. Why Product Stewardship for Paint? PROBLEM: Excessive Waste • 10% of paint sales becomes leftover • 760, 926 Gallons collected in Florida in 2009 • $640 million dollars per year in management costs nationally • National average cost for management is $8 per liquid gallon • Potential cost saving for Florida if all leftover paint is collected and managed properly: $36.5 million

  14. Paint Product Stewardship Initiative Recycled Paint Standard • About 15 recycled paint manufacturers in North America http://www.productstewardship.us/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=141 • 4 recycled paint manufacturers in Florida • Several companies are Green Seal certified. • Purchase of recycled paint is important step to lowering cost of leftover paint management programs.

  16. Key Elements of Each Paint Bill • Manufacturer (or stewardship organization, Paint Care) sets up convenient collection system • Pay an “architectural paint stewardship assessment” for each container of paint sold in state • Fee covers cost to manage leftover paint • Fee paid by manufacturer (into Paint Care), passed to retailer, passed to consumer • Anti-trust provision to allow cost passed to consumer • Uniformity of assessment/funding system • Level playing field (don’t participate, can’t sell product)

  17. Key Elements of Each Paint Bill • Manufacturer submits plan to state for approval • State approves manufacturer plan • State reports periodically to legislature • Promote reduction and reuse of leftover paint • No consumer end of life fee • Administrative fee paid to state agency for oversight/enforcement.

  23. Next Steps • Key players in Florida: who else do we need on board, and who can reach out to them? (PSI can compile list) • Retailers? • More local agencies? • What other information can we compile to describe the problem? (e.g., cost data, other information on existing infrastructure) • Which 10 counties will participate in cost assessment? • PSI will develop fact sheet for FL to use in building support among likely allies (based on other states) • Sign up for PSI membership! Free for local governments • Next call: PSI will schedule in 2-3 months; provide updates via email until then
