  1. How can I dispose of leftover or unused paint responsibly? Let's utilise what we have as much as possible and dispose of paint properly! Understanding Paint Types Though they are well-known for their longevity and glossy appearance, oil- based paints have a major drawback. They have significant concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which cause interior and outdoor air pollution when they evaporate into the air after the paint dries. Why Responsible Disposal Matters To begin with, incorrect paint disposal poses a serious risk to our water and soil resources. The dangerous chemicals that paint contains have the potential to seep into the earth, polluting the soil and maybe into our water supply, when it ends up in landfills. Options for Responsible Paint Disposal It's not as hard as you would imagine to recycle paint. Numerous locations provide neighbourhood paint recycling programmes that will accept and use your unwanted or outdated paint. Start by looking up "paint recycling near me" online or contacting the waste management division of your local government. Now, it's over to you. By adopting responsible paint disposal practices and opting for sustainable options, you can make a positive impact. For more info visit https://www.dulux.lk/
