Paint waste disposal for companies
For painters and painting companies, paint waste disposal is subject to rules and regulations. These are imposed by the government. As a company, you are responsible for the safe and correct collection and disposal of all your paint waste and used tools. This is because your business waste contains hazardous and toxic substances that are harmful to people, nature and the environment.
Upon inspection, you must be able to prove that you use a certified waste processor specialising in chemical waste and paint waste disposal. Chemisch Afval Nederland B.V. is happy to serve you and offers a flexible and economical KCA Collection Service for your painting company.

Processing and recycling paint waste
By returning business paint waste separately, you make an important contribution to the processing and recycling of this type of waste. This is because it will then not end up in the residual waste. In that case, it will go into the incinerator, which is not only bad for air quality, but also a shame, because recycling techniques are making great strides. Depending on the type of paint, new paint can now be made from paint residues! In addition, various raw materials can be extracted from paint waste for reuse. These include plastic and metal from buckets and paint cans.
