Copy of Paintainers and Paint Tins - 4
Finding a sustainable choice for packaging paint is a balancing act between practicality and cost. Plastic paint cans are lightweight and cheaper than traditional metal cans, however, if they are made from virgin plastic polymer they have a higher environmental cost.
Go Green: Plastic Paint Tins
Plastic paint tins made from recycled plastic, are a more sustainable option than standard plastic cans and are also plastic tax exempt. They are made from a single type of plastic (polypropylene) which can easily be recycled after use - helping to close the loop on plastic packaging within the paint and decorating industry.
The push-lock lids are also made from recycled plastic, so the whole Paintainer is made from recycled polymer. The containers and lids are engineered for a leak-proof fit, providing secure paint storage, at a competitive price.
Plastic paint cans are suitable for in-mould labelling so there’s no need to compromise your branding for sustainability.
Go Greener: Metal Paint Tins
Many businesses are looking to move away from plastic altogether. And there’s no doubt that metal packaging has a bright (and dare we say shiny!) future.
The price gap between standard plastic cans and metal tins is narrowing as environmental taxes are starting to bite - and if you’re looking for quality and durability there’s no better answer than metal.
Metal recycles forever with no loss in quality. Metal is elemental so it’s not chemically altered when it's melted down - it can be returned to its raw form and re-used again and again and it will have the same physical properties as when it was freshly mined.
So which sustainable option is right for your business? Recycled plastic containers are a positive and affordable step towards sustainability, whilst traditional metal cans, are infinitely recyclable making them the most sustainable choice.
