IWRC painter training program reflects on 25 years

The UNI Iowa Waste Reduction Center’s (IWRC) painter training program has evolved to serve needs.

In 1994, the IWRC launched a research project looking at two local Cedar Valley body and collision shops. They were similar in size, but one was producing twice as much waste as the other. The IWRC staff quickly found the excess waste was coming from inefficient paint application by the in-house staff.
