Manufacturing Processes
Amazon Environmental Inc. utilizes patented processes to manufacture non-coatings products from reusable or spent paints. The company filters the recycled paint three times to meet quality and viscosity standards. Additionally, non-reusable paints are transformed into products like Processed Latex Pigment, which serves as an alternative raw material for cement. The recycled paint is adjusted with additives to comply with strict specifications and is Green Seal certified.
Partnerships and Sales
Amazon Environmental Inc. partners with various Paint Stewardship programs in states such as California, Oregon, and Minnesota, among others. The company's recycled paint products are sold by Dunn Edwards and are priced significantly lower than similar quality virgin paints. The recycled paint is packaged for sale and is beneficially recycled, ensuring that virtually 100% of the leftover paint received is utilized.
