"Never be afraid of colour"

Wise words from Wendy, a customer at Recipro our Community RePaint centre on the wirral!

This fabulous mural was painted using reclaimed paint bought from Community Scrap Shack in .

Reusing paint is the perfect way to save money and get creative all whilst helping to prevent paint waste!

With 50 million litres going for disposal every year in the UK alone, projects like this are the perfect solution. Lets get reusing it!

What does paint reuse mean?

Well, it means stopping tins like this one ending up incinerated!

Paint waste happens, 50 millions litres litres of it it every year in the UK.

We want to see tins like this on people's walls, not going to waste! So if you have paint to give, or you're looking for paint that won't cost the earth, look no further!

Thank you to The Shed for saving this tin (and thousands more) from going to waste.

When Thomas met Thomas... good things happened! 😊

We're delighted to see this colourful community project brought to life using rescued paint. It's a fantastic example that items destined for disposal can create something 'Legenderry'.

Congratulations to Repair & Share Foyle and, Peaball and all involved in making it happen. 🎨💚

The yellow is most mellow when you know it has been reclaimed and saved from going to waste!

🔍CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT - A little yellow living room inspiration 💛🎨

Daisy gave her living room a gorgeous new look using paint from Forest Recycling Project — and we’re here for it!

Why buy brand-new paint when you can find great quality, perfectly usable paint at FRP for less money and with less environmental impact? 🌱♻️

Our reclaimed paint is rescued from going to waste and given another chance to brighten up your homes, furniture and creative projects.

As Daisy says:

“Found this stunning Lick paint for my living room which was so much more affordable and better for the planet than buying new.”

✨ Looking for your next paint colour? Come and have a rummage at FRP and see what you can find!
