# Fully Recyclable Paint Cans Behr's Eco-Friendly Paint Can Design Has a Mess-Reducing Lid By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-10-17 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-can-design References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/behr-transforms-the-traditional-paint-can-with-an-eco-friendly-simple-pour-lid-300940527.html) & [Behr](http://www.Behr.com/SimplePourLid) Behr is introducing an all-new eco-friendly paint can design that's 100% recyclable and easier to use than ever, all thanks to the fact that it includes a mess-reducing plastic Simple Pour lid that needs no special tools to open. The reimagined paint can sets itself apart from other styles that need to be pried open with a paint key or a screwdriver and closed with a hammer and mallet to keep the paint fresh and usable in the future. The new and improved paint can design from Behr boasts a washable and fully recyclable plastic pour spout that can be snapped in place and sealed off with a twist-off cap. This system also gives both do-it-yourselfers and professionals greater flexibility when painting, as the lid allows for quick pouring via the spout or access to the entire paint can when it is removed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** The new 100% recyclable paint can design from Behr presents opportunities for other industries to adopt more eco-friendly packaging solutions. - **Innovative Packaging Design:** Behr's paint can design could inspire other companies to rethink their product packaging and explore new ways to make their products easier to use and more user-friendly. - **Sustainability:** As consumers become more environmentally conscious, companies that prioritize sustainability like Behr could gain a competitive advantage in the market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Paint and Coatings Manufacturing:** Other paint and coatings manufacturers can follow Behr's lead in creating more user-friendly and eco-friendly packaging solutions. - **Home Improvement Retail:** Retailers in the home improvement industry can promote eco-friendly products like Behr's paint cans to appeal to consumers who prioritize sustainability. - **Packaging Manufacturing:** The manufacturers of paint can lids and packaging could incorporate user-friendly and eco-friendly features in their designs to meet demand from companies like Behr. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Can-Based Cleaning Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-can-starter-kit.md) - [Fully Recyclable Condiment Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-tomato-ketchup.md) - [Easy-Open Tuna Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuna-can-packaging.md) - [Refillable Haircare Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hairstory-new-wash.md) - [Sleek Pollution-Reducing Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecos-1.md) - [Separating Eco Carton Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruk-sustainable-packaging-design.md) - [Recyclable Tuna Cartons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bumble-bee-seafood-company.md) - [Ergonomic Eco-Friendly Drink Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-prisma-aseptic-300-edge.md) - [Plastic-Free Beer Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heineken-green-grip.md)
