In 2010 Kelly-Moore Paint Company, Inc. accepted the “Green Large Business of the Year” award during a banquet hosted by the San Carlos Chamber of Commerce. Besting 100,000 California companies, Kelly-Moore was selected by the Green Business Committee for its series of recycling programs that diverted 60 percent of its waste. Kelly-Moore was also recognized for its carbon offset program resulting in the San Carlos Plant being carbon neutral. Previously, when half-used paint cans were returned, the paint and cans were considered unrecyclable waste. Now, Kelly-Moore uses a system that removes the labels and residue from the cans making them recy-clable. The returned paint is extensively sorted by color and type and remanufactured into eCoat. In April 2009, Kelly-Moore started a program to recycle Super Sack storage bags, cut up plastic totes and other previously unrecyclable containers, resulting in a 10-15 percent reduction in landfill waste.

Renner Sayerlack S.A. manufactures and distributes wood finishing and marine coatings and paints. It is the largest and most specialized wood coating company in Latin America. Formerly known as Sayerlack, it changed its name to Renner Sayerlack S.A. in January 2001 after the merger of Tintas Renner and Sayerlack Industria Brasileira de Vernizes. The company was founded in 1968 and is based in Cajamar, Brazil. With sales estimated in the $210 million range, Renner Sayerlack claims to control about 50 percent of the Brazilian wood finishing market, as the largest player in the segment in Latin America. The company’s primary wood finishes manufacturing facility is in Cajamar, Sao Paulo state, and it operates another in Minerbio, Italy. In 2007 PPG acquired the architectural and industrial coatings business of Renner Sayerlack.
