Why Product Stewardship for
Paint?
PROBLEM: Excessive Waste
o 10% of paint sales becomes leftover
• 760, 926 Gallons collected in Florida in 2009
o $640 million dollars per year in management costs nationally
•
National average cost for management is $8 per liquid
gallon
•
Potential cost saving for Florida if all leftover paint is
collected and managed properly: $36.5 million

Key Elements of Each Paint Bill
1.
Manufacturer (or stewardship organization, Paint
Care) sets up convenient collection system
2.
Pay an “architectural paint stewardship assessment”
for each container of paint sold in state
o
Fee covers cost to manage leftover paint
o
Fee paid by manufacturer (into Paint Care),
passed to retailer, passed to consumer
3.
Anti-trust provision to allow cost passed to consumer
4.
Uniformity of assessment/funding system
5.
Level playing field (don’t participate, can’t sell
product)

Key players in Florida: who else do we need on board, and who can reach
out to them? (PSI can compile list)
- Retailers?
- More local agencies?
What other information can we compile to describe the problem? (e.g., cost
data, other information on existing infrastructure)
Which 10 counties will participate in cost assessment?
PSI will develop fact sheet for FL to use in building support among likely
allies (based on other states)
Sign up for PSI membership! Free for local governments
Next call: PSI will schedule in 2-3 months; provide updates via email until
then
