Recovery Rate - Challenges
• Consumable product
– zero leftover is target
– “available to collect” is unknown
• Consumer storage habits
– when does “leftover” become “waste”?
– time lag between buying and disposing
– Recovery rate numerator (paint recovered in a
given year) and denominator (paint sold in a given
year) not always “in sync”

Volume Collected – New Targets
• Residual recovery volume, container capacity
volume and recovery rate will be tracked each
year
• New Targets:
– Minimum 4% annual increase in collected paint
volume
– Minimum 4% annual increase in collected
flammable liquid and pesticide volumes
14

Product Life Cycle Management
• Paint design changes:
– Shift from oil based (alkyd) paints to water based latex
paints
– Federal regulations related to VOCs in paints
• Tools used by PCA:
– Variable fees that increase with container size
– Promotion of “B.U.D.” rule
– Education on proper storage of paint
– Research development on alternative management
options for collected materials
15

• Reuse
Management of Collected
Materials - PAINT
– Paint Exchange offered at 86 depots in 2010
– 1.8% of paint volume collected in 2010
• Recycling
– Latex paint reprocessed into paint products or used in the
manufacture of recycled concrete and the manufacture of
Portland cement products
• Energy Recovery
– Oil based paint utilized as alternative fuel for energy
recovery. Recycling options limited.
16

Management of Collected
Materials – Other Products
• Flammable Liquids
– Managed for energy recovery
• Pesticides
– Incinerated at high temperature
• Gasoline
– Managed for energy recovery
17

• Recycling
– 100% of metal containers (paint, flammable liquids)
– 100% of #2 plastic , 5 gallon size paint containers
• Energy Recovery
– 100% of composite paint containers(one gallon size) and
gasoline containers
– >95% of plastic solvent containers
• Landfill
Management of Collected
Materials - CONTAINERS
–

Management of Collected
Materials – New Targets
• Increase reuse to 3% of paint collected by 2016
• Maintain 100% rate of latex paint, #2 plastic paint
containers and metal container recycling
• Continue to look for recycling options for oil-based
paint
• Maintain 95% rate of #5 plastic paint containers and
flammable liquid containers managed for energy
recovery
• Identify options for the recycling of pesticide
containers 19

• Program website
• Website linkages
• Reuse websites
• Point of Sale materials
• Multi program
publications
• Yellow Pages
• RCBC Recycling Hotline
and Recyclepedia
Public Awareness
• Local Government
partnerships including
waste/recycling
calendars
• Community events
• Dedicated mailings
• Ambassadors program
20

Public Awareness
• Consumer Awareness Levels
– 67% of British Columbians aware of a paint program
– 40% flammable liquids, 36% pesticides, 26% gasoline
• New Targets:
– Increased focus on earned/bought media
– Participate annually in summer ambassadors program (or
equivalent)
– Paint program awareness level of 71% by 2013 and 73% by
2015
21
