CPCA—Protecting the Environment

The CPCA and its Members express concern for the environment through their:

• Coatings Care® comprehensive environmental program. This program promotes employee, consumer, public and environment protection. It defines manufacturer, distributor, supplier, retailer and consumer responsibilities for paint-related decisions that affect the environment. 
• Air quality issue responses. Air quality affects paint manufacturers and users alike. The Canadian paint industry is addressing air quality issues that pose significant concern. 
• Leftover post-consumer paint management policies. The CPCA supports the most efficient, cost-effective and environmentally sound means of dealing with leftover post-consumer paint. To help ensure that leftover paint is put to the best possible use, the CPCA has acknowledged its responsibility for sharing knowledge of its products and their packages.
