GDB Paint & Coatings recycles industrial and automotive refinishes, aerosols, paint applicators, traffic paint, powder coatings and every other underlying raw material utilized in the manufacturing of paint, in addition to architectural paint & coatings. We’re proud to report: • Over 1 million tonnes (1 billion+ kilograms) of oil paint, latex paint & raw materials recycled globally by GDB over the period of 25+ years. • 65,000+ tonnes (65 million kilograms) of leftover paint, off-spec and discontinued paint collected from the paint industry in 2022. • 15,000+ tonnes (15 million kilograms) of wash solvent and wash water processed and recycled in 2022.

By partnering with GDB, companies across the industry can reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future. GDB's process has significant environmental implications, reducing the amount of waste going to landfills and saving resources by reusing materials that would otherwise be dumped into landfills.
