Calibre Environmental Ltd. was incorporated in the fall of 2003 .Calibre Environmental initially recycled industrial and commercial paints in small amounts, creating white, beige and grey ecocoat which was tested and marketed as an industrial primer. In September 2004, Calibre obtained the contract to process City of Calgary post-consumer paint and began searching for a better way to recycle latex paints. In November 2004, Calibre Environmental established a relationship with an American organization that had been recycling latex paint since 1992. Calibre was able to adopt their methods and practices, and in the spring of 2005 ecocoat was launched to the Canadian retail market with 14 consistent colours of 100% recycled premium quality latex paint.
In June of 2006, Calibre Environmental was a proud recipient of an Alberta Emerald Award for environmental excellence. These awards celebrate and showcase the outstanding achievements of Albertans committed to protecting, preserving, enhancing and sustaining our environment.
In 2008, Calibre Environmental became a key part of the new Alberta Paint Stewardship program which significantly increased the recycling of unused latex paint from across the province of Alberta.
