\"PaintCare<\/h4>\n

UK paint brands invest \u00a3500,000 in leftover paint return scheme trial, which will be run in partnership with waste management company Biffa.<\/h4>\n

The PaintCare UK trial is a voluntary, industry-funded take-back scheme run by the British Coatings Federation (BCF) on behalf of UK paint manufacturers.<\/p>\n

The three-month pilot will allow consumers and tradespeople to return leftover decorative paint and empty packaging to selected participating retailers in the West Midlands Combined Authority area from March 2026.<\/p>\n

PaintCare UK\u2019s target is to reuse or recycle 75% of leftover paint by 2032, compared with an estimated 2% today. The scheme also plans to roll out nationally in mid-2027.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the launch of the pilot, Tom Bowtell, CEO of the British Coatings Federation, said: \u201cWhat makes PaintCare particularly powerful is the level of collaboration across brands and retailers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy working together, we can test solutions at a scale that would not be possible individually and use real evidence from this trial to help shape a system that works nationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pilot involves major paint brands, including Dulux, Johnstone\u2019s Paint, Crown Paints, Craig & Rose, Valspar and Little Greene, and retail partners such as B&Q.<\/p>\n

PaintCare UK is working with waste and recycling partner Biffa to manage the collection, transport and treatment of returned paint and packaging.<\/p>\n

As part of the scheme, someone can hand paint and empty packaging directly to a member of staff in a participating store.<\/p>\n

Collections began in February with a phased introduction across participating stores planned through March 2026.<\/p>\n
