We’re dedicated to reducing our total waste generation.
In 2022 we arranged for 11,000 delivery pallets to be collected and reused, which saved 222 tonnes of timber. That’s the equivalent weight of about 60 oak trees.
1 , 800 tonnes of waste in 2022 alone. That’s the equivalent in weight of around 266 adult elephants! recycled and repurposed over Through NIMTECH we
We’re already taking simple steps to improve this, like the roll-out of smart scales during 2022 to improve waste data reporting and help optimise recycling and reuse.
In 2008 we partnered with NIMTECH , an amazing social enterprise which specialises in recycling. We now have recycling centres at both our Darwen and Hull manufacturing sites where we’re able to process vast amounts of unused paint, plastic and metal packaging, paper, cardboard, electrical waste and more. We recycle and reuse. I n fact, as part of our packaging circularity scheme, we aim to make sure the recycled plastic we collect goes straight back into producing painting tools and sundries.
In 2022, our Crown Decorating Centres helped over 4 , 000 trade customers recycle their used metal and plastic paint cans, even those from competitor brands.
Since 2011 we’ve recycled countless paint cans via our Can Back scheme, and in 2022 we hit a major milestone - recycling over 1 million paint cans in just 12 months!
