The partnership between the Association and the Amarelinha Tintas Group aims to allow post-consumer paint and varnish steel cans to be disposed of correctly and reach the steel mills to be reused.

According to Thais Fagury, president of the Brazilian Steel Packaging Association (Abeaço) and director of Prolata, the novelty is a positive step towards expanding the Program in the interior of the state of São Paulo. “With the partnership, we can guarantee the correct disposal and the revaluation of packaging, benefiting the environment.”, he emphasizes.

Since its founding, Prolata has managed to implement a recycling chain that brings together manufacturers, retailers, consumers, collectors and the steel industry. In the first half of this year, the association accounted for 22.1 thousand tons of steel cans collected.

How to dispose of paint cans:

You don't need to wash the small leftovers from the paint can before disposing of it at the collection point. Just leave the remaining residues to dry for at least 24 hours. Ink does not interfere with the recycling process. These small leftovers can be removed with a brush or spatula.
