Paint
Buy recycled paint for maintenance and graffiti cover-up. Chemicals in paint provide protection against weathering and corrosion, but if managed inappropriately can pollute the air and contaminate waterways. Some sustainable paints are non-toxic, contain post-consumer recycled content and offer take back programs.
The following contract offers recycled paint for exterior use.
Due to health concerns associated with the level of volatile organic compounds (VOC) the recycled paint on this contact is intended for exterior use only. Currently, the marketplace does not offer zero VOC (< 20 mg/l) or low VOC (<50 mg/l) recycled paint.
This contract offers State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC) compliant line items.
