Our commitment:

Founded on sustainable practices, GreenSheen is committed to continuous environmental improvements that foster a sustainable future and lead to social and economical benefits in the communities we do business.

Sustainability metrics/report:

  • We have an over 95% paint-to-paint recycling rate
  • We have a total landfill diversion rate of 84% (this includes all materials either reused, repurposed or recycled).

Sustainability goals/objectives:

  1. Maintain an annual 92% paint-to-paint recycling rate. COMPLETE
  2. Reuse or recycle 100% of all 5-gallon HDPE paint buckets received by Q1 2025. COMPLETE
  3. Reuse or recycle 100% of all 1-gallon polypropylene cans received by Q1 2026. IN PROGRESS

Successes:

  • The Colorado Paint Stewardship Program does not cover the management of paint containers collected through the paint recycling program. Instead of throwing valuable metal and plastic containers in the trash, GreenSheen has taken the initiative to recycle and reuse containers collected through the program. 
  • Received Gold Recognition in 2024 from the Colorado Green Business Network through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for our sustainability initiatives.
  • Upgraded facility lighting to LED’s for improved energy efficiency.
  • In 2022, GreenSheen received a CDPHE RREO grant to create a first of its kind, paint bucket wash line. This system was completed on 6/29/2023 and allows us to simply wash and reuse 5-gallon buckets rather than sending that material through the whole energy intensive recycling process.

Opportunities for growth:

  • Electrify our truck fleet.
  • Created a closed loop, bucket-to-bucket recycling system locally in Colorado, rather than sending plastic to other states to be remanufactured into new containers.
