Zusammenfassung:Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have also been shown to impose negative impacts on the ozone layer. The inability to manage containment, as well as the significant risks for contamination of water sources, is another reason paint waste needs to be disposed of properly, avoiding landfills. Because of this, paint manufacturers have a unique responsibility to produce paint that doesn't harm our environment, as well as ensuring it is disposed of properly.

Key areas to look for when vetting this third-party Include: * A history of success in similar sized companies with similar goals. * Interest and commitment In the company's specific needs and goals. * A robust network of outlets or strong partnerships to offer a variety of waste alternatives. * A committed timeline and method to track outcomes clearly and consistently. * A history of valid permitting and compliance reporting by all parties involved in program management.
