California Paint Recycling's Global-Green paint can help contribute to LEED because of its recycled content and low VOCs.

Under LEED for New Construction, Global-Green paint may contribute to the following credits:

• Materials and Resources (MR) Credit 4: Recycled Content (1-2 points):

This credit requires that the project uses materials with recycled content. The calculation for percentage of recycled content is the sum of the post-consumer content plus 1/2 of the pre-consumer content. 1 point is awarded for 10% recycled content, and 2 points for 20%. Global-Green paint contains a minimum of 25% recycled content (pre-consumer and/or post-consumer), so it can help contribute to this credit.

• Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Credit 4.2: Low-Emitting Materials - Paints and Coatings

Some of California Paint Recycling's products meet the standards set forth in this credit. For example, architectural paints and coatings must meet Green Seal's VOC limits. On Green Seal's website, you can see a list of Global-Green paints that meet this standard.
