What paint waste do we collect?

We collect from our customers all paint wastes classified within code 08 01 11*. (Waste paint and varnish containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances), in particular:

  • old industrial paints,
  • paint residues from renovation and construction work,
  • waste from powder paint,
  • unused varnishes and commercial paints used in industry,
  • packaging with paint and varnish residues, e.g. tins, buckets, barrels,
  • other waste resulting from the use or disposal of industrial lacquers and paints.

Within one service we can also collect paint waste containing no hazardous substances (e.g. code 08 01 12 Paint and varnish wastes other than those mentioned in 08 01 11*), provided they are collected separately. If you generate other paint waste (solid or liquid) in addition to the paints and varnishes themselves, please let us know when you order your collection. Based on the information provided we will prepare a comprehensive offer for you for the collection of all types of waste from paint shops.

Paint waste collection and what happens next? Proper disposal of paints, solvents and varnishes

Collecting paints, varnishes and solvents from your company is only the beginning of the complex process of managing this problematic waste. The next stage is transporting containers or paint containers to a specialised plant which deals with the disposal or recovery of hazardous waste. In some cases waste classified under heading 08 01 11* can be recycled or reused, for example as an ingredient in concrete or asphalt mixtures. Usually, however, old paints, varnishes and solvents are sent to industrial waste incineration plants.

Modern hazardous waste treatment plants use methods of energy recovery, chemical neutralisation or safe disposal in furnaces adapted to the incineration of problem wastes. As a result, paints, solvents and varnishes are disposed of, i.e. rendered harmlessso as not to endanger people or the environment.

When you choose to cooperate with Interzero, you gain the guarantee that your waste will only be processed in specialised, legally operating recovery and disposal facilities, and that all procedures from waste collection to sorting to final management will be in 100% compliance with current legislation and will not expose your company to unpleasant consequences.
