CA. is of the largest consumers of Paint and Coatings in the Nation and, home to the nation’s largest coatings manufacturers, distributors and retailers. CA. uses an estimated 125 million gallons of paint a year to protect, preserve and beautify homes, buildings and landscapes, while exporting about another 100 Million gallons. This industry depletes well over 150 million gallons a year of CA’s most valuable natural resources, Drinking Water. With CA. population expected to double by 2025 and the water supply dwindling at a rate it simply cannot replace or sustain, this is one of the most innovative and collaborative approaches to sustainability we can have, right now, we are merely robbing Peter to pay Paul.
This $20 billion a year industry is a major part of the Green Building materials, one that has used Drinking Water to make their paint and coatings all along. CA. (and national) air quality changes forced this industries conversion from solvent to water based products; hence, the use of drinking water has grown exponentially. Every gallon of water based Paint is about 1/3 Drinking water, another 5% may be used to process.
The conversion is almost as simple as replacing one water source with another.
The purple pipeline for recycled water is vast becoming readily available to many metropolitan and developing areas.
For further information, contact Edward Mugits at http://www.vitabrewcoffee.com/water.html I am the founder, catalyst and registered lobbyist of this program and, has mapped out numerous of the programs processes and multiple state infrastructures to aid in collaborative efforts.
This program is in its infancy, when we collaborate with the multitude of water based product manufacturers, such as household and industrial cleaners, the automotive industry, like Anti-freeze… you will start to see the likes of every major brand from Clorox to Prestone in there generating millions of gallons in savings.
