Coatings Care

The BCF Coatings Care environmental programme demonstrates that the UK coatings industry cares about the health and welfare of employees, the safe operation of processes, and shows determination to contribute actively to a sustainable environment. It is a voluntary programme which provides an opportunity for members to benchmark their environmental performance against 45 KPIs, and has over 30 UK coatings and printing ink manufacturing sites taking part.

In January 2024, we ran a webinar outlining the benefits of taking part in the programme, how to complete the questionnaire and samples of the individual report you would receive. You can access the recording of the webinar here.

Coatings Care performance

We have been tracking the manufacturing performance of BCF members for more than 20 years via the Coatings Care programme and, over that time, have recorded significant improvements in production efficiency and environmental performance.

Sustainable production and recycling have been a key focus for the coatings industry in the UK since 1996 and are the basis for some of the 45 health, safety and environment key performance indicators monitored through the BCF’s Coatings Care programme.

Latest Coatings Care figures showed record low levels of energy used in production as well as a significant decrease in production waste. 71% of production waste is now recycled, compared with just 17% in 1996. Accident rates are also at a record low and well below the latest UK Labour Force survey, with zero RIDDOR reported dangerous occurrences or fires at BCF member sites in 2020.
