Our approach to waste
At Dulux Trade, we take the issue of waste management very seriously, and we have a clear vision to achieve our stringent goals in this area. We aim to eliminate all waste and emissions from our own operations and reduce the impact of our products and our packaging for our customers.

Whenever disposing of waste coatings (paint and woodcare) and containers, we recommend dealing with a reputable waste contractor (local authority or private contractor), to ensure that the regulations are complied with. Such a contractor will need to be given the relevant waste regulations code by you.
