GDB International has acquired a Despray "DS500" state-of-the-art aerosol recycling system. This significant acquisition solidifies GDB International’s position as the world leader in aerosol paint can recycling, making them the first aerosol canfiller or paint recycler globally to claim 100% recycling and waste-to-energy capabilities for paint-filled aerosol cans. The Despray patented technology in the DS500 enables the complete separation and capture of all components of aerosol paint cans, including metal, liquid contents, and propellant gases. By effectively recycling these materials, the machine significantly reduces environmental impact and enhances overall aerosol recycling efficiency and safety.
GDB International’s investment in this innovative technology underscores their commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. As the first aerosol can filler in the world to achieve 100% recycling of aerosol cans, GDB International is setting a new global industry standard in paint recycling technology. They are true pioneers in paint recycling. This milestone marks a significant step forward in promoting sustainable aerosol recycling practices while reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the aerosol filling industry.
The Despray DS500 acquired by GDB International has the potential to process over 2 million full aerosol paint cans per year. This system boasts processing capabilities of over 284 tonnes of metal, 700 tonnes of paint, and 175 tonnes of LPG propellant gases annually. All these waste streams will be diverted for recycling, reuse, and waste-to-energy.
