PPG (Architectural Coatings UK & Ireland)
Waste Minimization Program
Following the recent introduction of a Waste Mapping and Minimization Program, the architectural
coatings business unit at PPG is set to reap significant rewards and is already seeing improvements.
With the creation of detailed Waste Maps for both sites that identified and quantified the
true cost of all waste streams, Rapid Improvement Waste Minimization Workshops involving
cross functional project teams have been carried out. Focusing initially on reducing paint waste
and effluent created through the batch changeover in the production process, procedural
improvements have already resulted in a 3% reduction in waste intensity.
