Remanufactured paint Remanufactured paint costs roughly the same as ordinary paint of similar quality, but discounts could be available through participation in a paint recycling scheme. In one case study (Debenhams) the estimated cost savings were around 22-24% which includes the purchase of paint and removal of unused paint. Paint360

"Buildings as material banks, energy generators and service providers… The future of architecture and construction will play a key role in the transition to a circular economy, and David Cheshire’s book makes a compelling case for a profound rethink." The Ellen MacArthur Foundation "I welcome the work David Cheshire has put into articulating a different future for an industry with so much potential for greater efficiencies." Julie Hirigoyen, CEO, UK Green Building Council
