To allow painters, carpenters and consumers of paints and varnishes packed in paint cans to properly dispose of the packaging, Prolata, a non-profit association, was created. Organized by the Brazilian Association of Steel Packaging (Abea\u00e7o), with the support of paint manufacturers, Prolata aims to allow used cans to be disposed of correctly by consumers and recycled in steel mills, transforming them into new cans or other items. that use steel as a raw material.<\/p>\n

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 are 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) and deliver the package. If the handle and lid are also made of metal, even better, as everything will be recyclable.
