Isn paint recycling the only way to reuse leftover post-consumer paint?
The product that gets collected and consolidated will come from dozens and dozens of manufacturers using various technologies. While many of these technologies are similar, there is no guarantee of consistency from one manufacturer to another. Only a single manufacturer, who has formulated and manufactured a paint from known raw materials according to a set formulation, can ensure a paint’s consistency. Having said that, there is likely some benefit in finding low-end uses for some of the leftover, consolidated or recycled paint.
