Guarujá, São Vicente, Itanhaém and Santos have nine voluntary delivery points; plan foresees installation in Cubatão, Praia Grande, Peruíbe, Bertioga and Mongaguá by November 2021
A year ago Baixada Santista gained the first voluntary delivery points (PEVs) from Prolata for the collection of post-consumer paint cans. Located in the municipalities of Guarujá, São Vicente, Itanhaém and Santos, the nine points total more than 330 kg of paint cans collected in the period.
PEVs are part of the paint production and sales chain strategy to comply with all stages of reverse logistics, ensuring that empty packaging can be collected and recycled correctly, without being discarded in the environment, and generating value for the entire company. recycling chain, especially for waste pickers.
“The action plan provides for the installation of voluntary delivery points in the municipalities of Cubatão, Praia Grande, Peruíbe, Bertioga and Mongaguá by November 2021”, highlights Thais Fagury, president of the Brazilian Association of Steel Packaging (Abeaço) and coordinator of the Prolate.
The installation of Prolata stations in Baixada Santista is part of the action plan defined in the Environmental Cooperation Agreement signed in November 2018 between the Special Action Group for the Environment (GAEMA), of the Public Ministry of São Paulo; Abeaço, creator and coordinator of Prolata; the Brazilian Association of Paint Manufacturers (ABRAFATI); and the Association of Paint Resellers of the State of São Paulo (Artesp).
In addition to making packaging safer, preserving the product and preventing leaks, steel is an environmentally sustainable material. Check out Prolata's five tips for recycling post-consumer paint cans:
First, avoid leftover paint, saving you money and the environment. Before going to the home improvement store, measure the walls you need to paint. Pass the measurements to the technical paint consultant, a professional available in the best stores on the market. He is best able to help you calculate how many gallons you will really need. If you're one of those people who keeps leftover paint in the closet to use them one day, know that if the can is closed correctly, the paint will still last for some time. Once the can is first opened, water-based paints will last about six months (depending on weather and packaging conditions). But this also depends on the expiry date of the paint, which is printed on the can. Never throw leftover paint down the toilet, sink or drain. How about donating what's left to a relative, neighbor, friend or using it to help paint your neighborhood school? Did you manage to empty the can? Excellent. It is not necessary to wash. The paint film that remains on the inner surface usually dries in about 24 hours and does not interfere with recycling. Look for a Prolata Voluntary Delivery Point (PEV), or a partner cooperative or Prolata warehouse and deliver the package. The steel lid is also recyclable.
