Case Study:
Medina Public Works Facility
Hennepin County, Minnesota
Hennepin County's new public works facility is a compelling example of the county's commitment to sustainable design
practices and the principles of waste reduction, ruse and recycling. The building integrates many products — carpet, textiles,
flooring, furnishings and structural materials — that contain recycled content material. More prominent is the application of
over 1000 gallons of reprocessed (recycled) latex paint on 60 percent of the painted surfaces in the Medina facility.
In the fall of 1996, the Hennepin County Environmental Services Division partnered with Hirshfield's Paint Mfg. Inc., to
remanufacture post- consumer latex paint collected at the county's household hazardous waste collection programs. This
was the first project in Minnesota to determine the feasibility of recycling residential latex paint by a local virgin paint
manufacturer. Remanufactured latex paint presented an opportunity to recycle the paint back into its original form, a higher
value -added product than simply recovering the resins in the paint. It also presented an opportunity to provide a product to
be used in county facilities to replace purchase of a virgin product. Furthermore, the reprocessed paint could be produced at
a lower cost than purchase cost of a comparable quality virgin latex paint.
Reprocessed latex paint has now become a standard finish material in other county satellite facilities. For this project,
Hirshfield's reprocessed latex paint was made with 30 percent post- consumer residential latex paint and 70 percent (non -
recycled) virgin raw materials.
Seven hundred and fifty gallons of reprocessed latex paint was applied in well ventilated areas in the Medina public works
facility's conference rooms, office work spaces and in the vehicle maintenance areas on gypsum drywall and concrete
masonry wall surfaces. An additional 450 gallons or recycled paint were applied in the county's indoor vehicle parking area
(250 gallons) in the Medina facility and at the county's waste transfer station (200 gallons).
The reprocessed paint was applied by brush, roller and airless spray applications. According to Bob Swanson, president of
Swanson and Youngdale — the 6th largest painting contractor (based on revenue) in the country , " The products performed
comparable to virgin paint products. This product showed that the coverage and viscosity of the recycled products are
comparable to virgin latex paint products."
Lessons Learned:
• Understand the potential cost savings of by using reprocessed latex paint. Hennepin County's cost savings are realized
once the reprocessed paint is applied in a county facility. If the county purchases a non - recycled latex paint of
comparable quality and performance, the cost is $8 -12.00 per gallon. By using reprocessed latex paint, the county
saved $3 -5 per gallon.
• Accept the fact that there is a learning curve involved in using green building materials, including reprocessed paint.
This project was completed without the aid of a formal architectural specification for reprocessed latex paint. The
architect, Architectural Alliance, and partners agreed to specify reprocessed paint for this project. As of 2000, new
architectural specifications have been developed and are available in Construction Standard Institute (CSI) format for
use by architects, designers and others who make specifications. For a copy of this specification check out this website

Reprocessed Post - Consumer Latex Paint Specification
Painting Section 09910
OVERVIEW
Minnesota's Reprocessed Paint Specification (RPS) is a comprehensive recycled paint specification. It
incorporates specifications developed by the federal govemment (the General Services Administration,
the agency that oversees federal purchasing), and specifications from individual states (Califomia,
Massachusetts and Washington). The RPS also includes information from virgin paint guides and Green
Seal's environmentally preferable procurement standards for paint.
This specification is tailored to the Construction Specification Institute (CSI) format, which includes three
sections: General, Products and Execution. The model specification provides users with clear definitions
of recycling. Many users will find the provisions of the full specification relevant. However, users may use
just part of the specification, depending on the nature the project (new construction, maintenance or
remodeling), budget, architect/designers preferences, and the needs of the end -user or building owner.
As more recycled paint is used, demand for recycled paint will increase and become a standard for new
construction, maintenance and remodeling projects. Using this specification wile stimulate new local
recycling markets and reduce costs for owners or contractors on future projects.
REPROCESSED PAINT
In this specification, reprocessed latex paint is a residential or commercial consumer product made with a
minimum of twenty percent (20 %) post - consumer recycled material. Reprocessed latex paint is mixed
with virgin materials such as resins and colorants and is extensively tested before packaging for resale.
Reprocessed latex paint must meet or exceed standards required of virgin latex paint products.
USING THE REPROCESSED PAINT SPECIFICATION
The specification language makes it easier to incorporate recycled paint into projects. It can be adapted
by a wide range of users — design firms, consulting firms, general contractors, sub - contractors,
corporations, associations, public agencies and educational institutions.
• Architects, designers, and others who make specifications can make environmentally informed
decisions about using recycled paint as an altemative to non - recycled architectural coating materials.
The RPS can be used in construction documents.
• Public or private building owners, general contractors, and facility managers can use the RPS in their
efforts to plan, construct and maintain more environmentally responsive facilities.
• Sub - contractors or painting contractors can use the RPS as a guide for product application, touch -up
requirements, and integration of waste management and recycling for extra stock at the end of a
project.
• Paint manufacturers of both virgin architectural and recycled latex paint can use the RPS to guide their
efforts to enhance the environmental performance of their products.
• State and local govemments can use the RPS to develop new state contracts /bids for recycled paint for
procurement programs.
• Private organizations and public agencies concemed with pollution prevention and other issues relating
to the built environment will find useful data and information in the RPS.
• Architectural educators and students can use the RPS as a reference on the role that specifications
play in environmentally responsible design.
• Prepared on behalf of the Latex Paint Solutions Task Force by the Minnesota Office of
Environmental Assistance and the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board.

Do not proceed with the work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.02 PREPARATION
A. General
1. Remove and protect hardware, lighting fixtures and similar items before painting. Protect
finished surfaces in areas where paint is being applied with clean drop cloths and suitable
masking.
2. Clean surfaces to be finished as required to remove oil grease, dust and dirt. Sand where
necessary to properly prepare surfaces to receive finish.
B. Surface Preparation
1. For Cementitious Materials: Prepare cementitious surfaces of concrete and concrete block
by removing efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, grease and oils.
a. Determine alkalinity (pH) and moisture content ( %) of surfaces to be painted by
performing appropriate tests. For cement, maximum seventeen percent (17 %) humidity
and pH of 7 -10; for wood, maximum fifteen percent (15 %) humidity; and for gypsum
board, maximum fifteen percent (15 %) humidity.
b. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause blistering and buming of finish paint, correct
this condition before application of paint. Do not paint over surfaces where moisture
content exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's printed directions.
2. For Wood: Clean wood surfaces to be painted of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with
scrapers, mineral spirits, and sandpaper, as required. Sandpaper smooth those finished
surfaces exposed to view, and dust off. Scrape and clean small, dry, seasoned knots and
apply a thin coat of white shellac or other recommended knot sealer, before application of
priming coat. After priming, fill holes and imperfections in finish surfaces with putty or plastic
wood - filler. Sandpaper smooth when dried.
a. Prime, stain, or seal wood required to be job - painted immediately upon delivery to job.
Prime edges, ends, faces, undersides, and backsides of such wood, including interior
millwork and trim.
3. For Gypsum Wallboard Surfaces: Fill scratches, nicks and uneven areas with joint
compound or spackle, and sand flush with the surface.

Product Stewardship: Building Partnerships
The OEA is moving forward with partnerships and activities to
encourage product stewardship for each of the products Y •
Using the "tools" of product stewardship
Despite the barriers, several companies in the United States have taken advantage of market
opportunities by implementing approaches to manage products which use the tools of product
stewardship.
• Take -back programs. A growing trend is the development of take -back programs in
which a manufacturer accepts their product back at the end of the product's life. Xerox,
among others, have made take -back an essential part of their business operations.
• Leasing. Another tool of product stewardship is leasing or "selling a service rather than
a product." Under a leasing system, actual ownership of the product remains with the
manufacturer. Customers pay for the use and maintenance of a product. At the end of
the product's useful life, the manufacturer is responsible for disposal. Several
companies are recognizing the benefits of leasing, such as Interface, a manufacturer of
carpet tiles, and several computer manufacturers like Dell and Gateway.
• Life - cycle management. Life -cycle management is a comprehensive examination of
the environmental impacts of a product. IBM's new personal computer, which contains
recycled content plastic, is an example of a life -cycle management decision resulting in
an environmentally preferable product.
Here are some case studies that show how major companies like Hirshfield's, Dell Computer,
and IBM have used these tools to implement product stewardship efforts.

Recycling paint at Hirshfield's
MOIMISIMMI
Hirshfield's is a fourth- generation, family -owned paint manufacturing company based in
Minnesota. The company has a long - standing commitment to use environmentally preferable
materials and processes. Since switching to producing only latex (water - based) paints 12 years
ago, Hirshfield's has not used lead or other heavy metals in its paint formulations.
Recently, Hirshfield's has become involved in another aspect of product stewardship. For the
last three years, Hirshfield's has worked with Hennepin County, the OEA, the University of
Minnesota, local businesses and organizations to collect waste paint and process it into newly
usable paint. The company is taking an industry lead by making sure their customers' leftover
paint doesn't go to waste. Here are some examples of how Hirschfield's has worked to reprocess
paint in the last few years.
• In 1997, Hirshfield's reprocessed 1,000 gallons of latex paint collected at Hennepin
County's household hazardous waste facility. The paint was applied to the county's
public works facility and the county transfer station.
• In spring 1999, Hirshfield's reprocessed 165 gallons of leftover paint that was collected
from paint contractors, which was purchased by the Saint Paul Neighborhood Energy
Consortium and Mississippi Markets for use in office and grocery spaces in their new
St. Paul building.
• In spring 1999, the University of Minnesota collected 950 gallons of paint from local
painting contractors, working with the Minnesota Painting and Wallcovering
Employers' Association. Hirshfield's reprocessed the paint, which was then applied to
the University of Minnesota's new Gateway Alumni and Visitors Center.
• Most recently, Hirshfield's entered into a partnership with Ramsey County to reprocess
180 gallons of paint collected from residents at the county's household hazardous waste
facility. The recycled- content paint will be used on the Metropolitan Council's
Environmental Lab Services building.
Hirshfield's runs the recycled paint through all of the tests that are applied to virgin paint.
Swanson & Youngdale, the painting contractor for Hennepin County's public works facility,
reports that the recycled paint is comparable to virgin paint in application and quality.
Hirshfield's also is participating in a statewide partnership involving industry and government
to build on these successful pilot projects. The OEA and the Solid Waste Coordinating Board of
the Metropolitan counties worked with Hirshfield's and Diamond Vogel Paints, and with the
National Paint and Coatings Association to convene the Paint Solutions Task Force. The task
force is composed of about 35 paint manufacturers, retailers, recyclers and state and local
government representatives, and is charged with crafting efficient and effective strategies for
reducing, collecting and recycling paint waste in Minnesota. The group met throughout the
summer and fall of 1999, and will issue a report on its results in March 2000.
