National Infrastructure Model (#4)
Goal:
Determine the most efficient leftover paint infrastructure
system.
Method:
Develop a report, which includes a model on how to
establish a national infrastructure for paint management
that will efficiently and effectively collect and manage
leftover paint.
Include results from other projects, such as the Paint
Reuse Manual.

Leftover Paint Quantities
 Paint collection = paint sales x collection rate
 Paint sales = 2.3 gal/person/yr
 Collection rate (based on 50% collection of leftover
paint)
– Low: 2.5% of paint sales
– Medium: 5.0% of paint sales
– High: 7.5% of paint sales
– Extra High: 10.0% of paint sales
 Plan for an increase in collection – phases
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
7
Leftover Paint Quantities
 EPA Revised Draft Report – end of May 2006??
 Anything further to report?
 This section is on hold until EPA report
completed.
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
8
Collection Points Needed
Type
– Dedicated facilities
– Co-located drop-off points
 Number of collection and aggregation points
 Community type designations
1. Super-urban (very dense cities)
2. Urban/metro areas (most other cities)
3. Isolated cities and towns (10,000-50,000)
4. Very rural (remote, sparsely populated)

May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
9
Approach to Estimate Number of
Collection Points Needed
 Service level approach – based on service at
existing collection programs (people per
collection point)
– Need convenience within geographic area
– Collection sites needed: 2,090
– Equal to 0.06 gallons/person (LOW)
– Most popular approach
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
10
Approach to Estimate Number of
Collection Points Needed
 Retail model approach – based on paint distribution to
retailers
– Types of distribution establishments
• Retail outlets
• Home centers
• Discount/Dept. stores
• Hardware stores
• Other
– Number of distribution establishments: 36,773
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
11
– Collection sites needed: 12,000
Approach to Estimate Number of
Collection Points Needed
 Incentive based approach – to encourage collection at
non-profits, private, public through financial incentives
 Collection point capacity approach
– Based on the amount of throughput to a facility
(contingent on space available)
– Reverse logic
– Not considered valid approach
– Collection sites needed: 5,000-10,000
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
12
Recommendations: Collection Points
 Collection sites needed: 2,000
o Equal to 0.06 gallons/person (LOW)
 Collection sites needed: 5,000
o Equal to 0.17 gallons/person (HIGH)
 Collection sites needed: 8,000
o Ultimate convenience
 Existing collection sites in US
o 1,500+ (Earth 911 data)
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
13
Transportation and Aggregation
 Assumption: each community type will need at least
one aggregation point  TOTAL: 934 aggregation
points
 Did not include backhauling in discussion
 Next steps:
– Develop cost to aggregate and transport
– Ensure that all transportation types are evaluated
– Check assumption of one aggregation point per
community type
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
14
Processing Facilities
 Surveyed 7 of 9 PPSI paint processors
 All have extra capacity
 Additional capacity considerations:
– Population density (supply)
– Transportation costs (distance for supply to travel)
– End-customer (distance for the final product to
travel)
 Primary barrier to adding new capacity: markets
 Paint processing facilities needed: 3-17
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
15
Facility Design Parameters Based on
Paint Management Hierarchy
Should percentages be changed?
 20% of paint is reused through paint swaps
 65% is recycled into new paint
 8% downcycled into cement additive
 7% disposed
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
16
Curbside Paint Collection
Marion County, Oregon
Marion County OR has collected paint at curb since 2000
2004 – recycled 15,228 gallons
2005 – recycled 28,695 gallons
Paint is put into “tubs” with other recyclables including oil,
batteries, glass, and automotive fluids
 Only 2 gallons of paint per collection
 “Tub” is collected bi-weekly

Details of Curbside Collection
in Marion County, Oregon
 Don’t break-out costs for paint collection from other
materials in the bin
 Cost to retrofit truck  $2,000
 Cost to mix paint  $0 – use juvenile detainee labor
 Use paint for municipal purposes and donate the rest to
the public
 Labor, equipment, advertising, cost of buckets per year
equates to $0.63 per gallon to manage!
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
23
Infrastructure Cost Analysis (#5)
Goal:
Determine the cost to implement the Infrastructure
Model over a 5-year period on a national scale.
Method:
Conduct a detailed analysis of costs pertaining to
collecting, reusing, consolidating, transporting,
recycling, and disposing of leftover paint, as well as
capital and administrative costs.
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL

Connection to LCA/CBA
 The infrastructure project can share data with
the lifecycle project where there is overlap.
 SCS and ERG conference call confirmed that
SCS can deliver data needed for the LCA project
in time to complete the LCA/CBA by November.
 Consultants confident that projects will work well
together.
May 3-4, 2006 PPSI Meeting - Sarasota FL
25
Types of Data to be Shared
 Collection Data
– Representative Transportation Distances
• Consumer’s Home to HHW Facility
• HHW Facility to Processing Facility
• HHW Facility to Recycling Facility
– What Regions/Populations densities do these
distances apply?
 Facility Data
– Operational Costs
• Utilities, Raw Materials, Labor
– Construction Costs
• Equipment, permitting, land and building costs

New Hampshire: Exporting Post
Consumer Paint for Recycling
 Project Manager is Melanie Wheeler of the State of NH Grant Program
 Objective is to determine economic and administrative feasibility of collecting
paint and exporting to Canada (Paint Recycling Company) for recycling.
 Performance will be measured by comparing cost savings per gallon to
existing program which sends it to incineration.
 Project will be considered successful if the cost of export for recycling is the
same or less than the cost of incineration.
 Will be reviewed by Infrastructure Group for incorporation of any new data into
the Infrastructure Model.


Rural milk-run collections
Future project - has not received funding to date
Hope to implement late 2006/early 2007
Goal is to provide a $50,000 grant to fund “milk-runs”
where rural areas can have an outlet for paint to be
recycled and then to evaluate the success of the project
by comparing the cost to collect and recycle paint
against current management methods.
