Yes, we are part of a recycling scheme in conformity with the governmental requirements. Please see the most recently issued recycling scheme certificate.

We use consumer-recycled materials for all our packaging and continuously look for further improvements. Our paint containers aren’t just grey because it’s our brand colour, it’s a by-product of their post-consumer material. In fact, our containers have the highest post-consumer recycled content available, currently between 30-50%. We also ensure that our packaging is fully recyclable and easy to separate, such as aluminium lids and recyclable plastic containers. Our shipping packaging is made from unbleached recycled cardboard and contains no plastic wrapping fillers or cushioning. 

All Bauwerk Colour packaging is fully recyclable. When packaging and posting our products we ensure that we use either:

• packaging made from unbleached recycled cardboard without any plastic wrapping or plastic fillers or cushioning.
• paint pails with the highest post consumer recycled content available (currently between 30-50%)
• packaging that is easy to separate and recycle (ie. Aluminium lids and recyclable plastic container)

Where we use printing ink we only use a single colour with the lowest possible environmental impact.

Innovation

Our latest trial is a 'Bag in a Box' packaging for our 10litre Prep Coat. This package would reduce the need for warehouse storage, minimise the use of plastic in the actual container, extend product shelf life, reduce shipping volume requirements, and decrease the amount of cardboard needed for protective shipping packaging.
