Post-Consumer Paint
A Canadian Leader in Post-Consumer Paint, Laurentide Environment ensures the collection, sorting, and recovery of post-consumer paints from Quebec and Atlantic Canada at its Shawinigan, Quebec facility, as well as at Richibucto, New Brunswick, as part of the Éco-Peinture and Product Care Recycling programs.
Materials that cannot be processed, such as solidified paints, adhesives, strippers, and cement, are sent to specialized companies for responsible disposal.
Post-consumer paint, for its part, is used by Laurentide Paint, a subsidiary of Laurentide, to manufacture Boomerang, an eco-responsible paint that is the only true 100% ECO product. Thanks to an innovative process and cutting-edge logistics, the process allows containers to be sorted by category, finish, and color, then directed to large mixing tanks. Additives are added to meet the standards of the Canadian paint manufacturing industry. Quality testing in the laboratory ensures that each batch is washable, offers excellent adhesion, superior hiding power, and low volatile organic compound (VOC) content. Boomerang paint provides an unbeatable quality-to-price ratio.
The production of Boomerang paint emits four times less greenhouse gases (GHG) than traditional paints. Its 3.78-liter container is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and is recyclable. The product is also UL ENVIRONNEMENT certified due to its low environmental impact. In short, choosing Boomerang post-consumer paint is an eco-friendly and responsible choice.
