ENVIRONMENTAL WASH SYSTEM

Dulux EnviroWash System

The smarter way to clean up painting tools

Dulux takes environmental issues seriously and our aim is to develop innovative new products that have increased benefits for our customers and reduce the impact on the environment throughout their life cycle. 

An example of this is the Dulux EnviroWash System that was launched nearly 2 years ago and is unique in the New Zealand market.  The Dulux EnviroWash System provides an environmentally responsible way of washing out painting tools, such as brushes and rollers. The revolutionary wash system converts waterborne paint washings into clear water and solid waste, allowing for easier and safer disposal.

The units are two-part, a sink and a separate filtration tank. Painting equipment is washed in the sink, using a connected mains water supply. These paint washings then transfer into a holding tank, where specialist additives are introduced to flocculate and separate the washings into clear water and inert paint solid. 

The clear water is then drawn off and either re-used or disposed of while the remaining residue is pumped through a filter ready for removal and drying.  Once dry, this solid inert residue typically equals 5kg per 450-litre discharge and can be disposed of as non-hazardous waste.

There are 3 different sized units available, the larger 450ltr and 800ltr are ideal for major construction sites and heavier usage, whilst the more compact 160ltr is more mobile and can easily fit into a small van.

The Dulux EnviroWash System is designed to support our customers in meeting their environmental responsibility.  Dulux are passionately committed to preserving and protecting the environment.  In the past few years we've achieved some remarkable milestones that have earned Dulux two major awards in the 2007 Sustainable Business Network Awards including the Supreme Award for the central region, and now the Green Gold Award at the 2008 Wellington Gold Awards.  But more than that, we've transformed the way we do business, with flow-on benefits for our customers, our community, our region and ultimately for New Zealand.
