As we work to fulfill our commitment to Building a Better World, our team is focused on top-performing products while maximizing material recyclability. Whether through partnerships with third-party recycling operations or the refurbishment and reuse of containers, we continually seek opportunities to make our packaging more environmentally friendly and keep recyclables out of landfills to reduce waste.
We use recycled content in packaging and look for ways to utilize less packaging in customer shipments. For example, Rust-Oleum uses 25% recycled content in most of its bottles for household, automotive and exterior cleaners. Additionally, they use nearly 6 million one-gallon paint cans each year that are made from 90% recycled material. In its shipping, Rust-Oleum’s corrugated boxes use an optimized blend of recycled and virgin wood pulp.
Stonhard uses 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content in its pails, and The Pink Stuff uses PCR in its bottles and recycled content in its paper packaging.
We also work with customers to ship orders together to reduce packaging waste, improve freight costs and increase customer convenience.
Tremco CPG joined CircuPUR.be, Belgium's collection and recycling program for empty polyurethane foam cans. Through the program's reverse-logistics system, used cans can be collected directly from construction sites and recycled, helping divert waste from landfills and support a more circular approach to packaging management within the construction industry.

Euclid Chemical's EUCON® R3A admixture helps transform returned concrete into reusable material, reducing waste while creating value from material that would otherwise be discarded. By enabling concrete producers to recover and reuse returned concrete, the technology supports more efficient resource utilization and advances circularity throughout the construction process.
