GDB Paint & Coatings is an environmental services company delivering sustainability solutions for the global paint industry. It employs a proprietary process to recycle leftovers, off-spec, outdated, and discarded paints, coatings, and related raw materials across the entire product lifecycle—from manufacturing to end-use retail—in more than 45 countries. Founded more than 25 years ago and based in Nashville, Illinois, the firm aims to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint within the sector. Its activities span industrial and automotive refinishes, aerosols, paint applicators, traffic paints, powder coatings, and architectural coatings. Over its history, the company has recycled more than 1 million tonnes of oil and latex paint and related materials, and in 2022 alone collected about 65,000 tonnes of leftover or discontinued paint and processed roughly 15,000 tonnes of wash solvents and wash water. A notable development in 2024 is a collaboration with Despray announced in July, signaling ongoing partnerships to expand its reach.
