Leftover paint
Reuse of Leftover paint
As part of its Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) initiative, Sofap aims to raise awareness among paint users about the importance of reducing paint waste.
Sofap has launched an interactive map covering all nine districts, encouraging paint users to donate their leftover paint to local artists, artisans, and NGOs who can make good use of it.
By participating, you’re not only reducing waste but also supporting creativity, local craftsmanship, and contributing to valuable community projects.
How to Donate Your Leftover Paint: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Navigate the interactive map and select the district where you live. Each district will give a range of artists, artisans, and NGOs that accept leftover paint.
