DECORATIVE COATINGS
VOC Product Directive (2004/42)
The BCF made comments to DEFRA and CEPE on a consultant’s report on the VOC Product Directive, sponsored by the EU. The subsequent review appears to have stalled at the EU level and the situation remains unclear for a number of industry sectors.
Post Consumer Waste Task Force Directed by Wayne Smith
This Task Force comprises of BCF Decorative Coating members, WRAP, Resources Future, British Retail Consortium (BRC), local authorities and recycling/recovery schemes. It has come together to draft a paper on how to avoid, collect and dispose of post-consumer paint and container waste. The Task Force has met twice during the year to develop this paper. It is planned to complete the paper this year and then submit it to DEFRA.
The paper includes an overview of the scale of the waste volume, ideas for reducing it and an overview of possible recovery and reuse options.
