At EarthPaint, we recycle your old latex paint into a high-quality, sustainable product that works for any job, inside or outside. We aim to do three things: make a great product people will love, clean up the dirty paint industry and help our community by hiring adults with disabilities.

Founded in 2013 by Chris McCarthy, EarthPaint is a 501c(3) nonprofit based in Wood Dale, Ill. EarthPaint relies on contributions and fees for recycling old paint to fund its operations and employment of adults with disabilities.

A longtime paint professional, Chris saw lots of unwanted – but perfectly good – paint accumulate and go to waste. He wanted to find a way to keep the endless gallons of paint he encountered from entering the landfill, where it can harm the environment by leaking into the ground water.

So he began recycling paint he collected to create a product that’s just as good as the name brands because it’s made from the name brands. Today, EarthPaint has recycled more than 70 million pounds of paint, diverting more than 670 million pounds of carbon from the atmosphere. With upwards of 1 billion tons of paint gathering dust or at risk of going to landfills, paint recycling operations like EarthPaint serve a vital purpose in the industry.

Not only do we keep old paint out of landfills, our product vastly reduces the carbon emissions of new paint. Every gallon of EarthPaint’s sustainable product saves 100kw hours of energy (vs. manufacturing new paint), or about 115 pounds of carbon. Annually, we save the paint industry from emitting 11.5 million pounds of carbon. Additionally, we use captured rainwater to provide the 13 gallons of water each gallon of paint requires.
