For more than 25 years, Visions has transformed post-consumer paint into high-quality remanufactured coatings while helping organizations divert waste from landfills and support California’s sustainability initiatives. This session will provide attendees with practical strategies they can implement immediately to strengthen their own sustainability programs. Discover how Visions is helping shape the future of sustainable materials management by diverting millions of pounds of post-consumer latex paint from landfills and expanding into 5-gallon plastic pail recycling. Learn how integrated recycling, remanufacturing, and reuse programs are creating a true closed-loop system that advances the circular economy. Visions is unveiling a refreshed brand that reflects our continued commitment to environmental stewardship, stronger recycling services, expanded retail programs, and advancing circular economy solutions for the communities we serve.
