Inter-GreeN

What Inter-GreeN does

Inter-GreeN B.V. is a Dutch sustainable paint recycling company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Beuningen, Netherlands. The company produces recycled wall paint products from recovered paint residues and waste materials through a closed-loop process, and sells primarily to B2B customers including major paint manufacturers (AkzoNobel/Sikkens, Dulux, Blue Whale Coatings, Niveau, WIXX Coatings), paint wholesalers, professional painters (via the Paint Collect initiative), and property managers such as Landal GreenParks.

The core technology is a five-step recycling process: (1) collection of paint waste via InterCheM using its own nationwide hazardous-waste transport fleet, (2) sorting and laboratory analysis of waste streams for usability, (3) filtering and processing of usable paint residues, (4) production with addition of pure raw materials where needed for quality assurance, and (5) laboratory quality control testing. The product portfolio includes Inter-GreeN Recycled Paint (core product), the co-branded Sikkens Alpha Recycle Mat wall paint containing 35% recycled content, and paint collection/processing services. Inter-GreeN operates in deep operational partnership with InterCheM, which contributes 50+ years of chemical waste handling experience and the hazardous-waste logistics infrastructure.

The revenue model combines the sale of recycled paint products (largely supplied into paint manufacturers' branded product lines, but also sold directly to end customers) with collection and processing services. Pricing is quote-based on a B2B basis with no publicly disclosed rates. Distribution occurs through direct B2B supply to manufacturers, paint wholesalers who double as collection points via Paint Collect, and InterCheM's transport fleet. While the company maintains international partner offices in Mumbai (India), Istanbul (Turkey), and Beirut (Lebanon), core operations remain anchored in the Netherlands.

Others

• Veolia: Global environmental services and waste-management group with chemical-waste treatment capabilities. Relevant as a potential competitor or partner for paint-waste collection and processing at industrial scale.
• Suez: International waste-management and resource-recovery company operating chemical and hazardous-waste streams. Comparable as an infrastructure-level peer whose circular-economy programs intersect with Inter-GreeN's paint-waste niche.

Broad incumbents

• AkzoNobel: Global paints and coatings major (Dulux, Sikkens brands). Both a confirmed Inter-GreeN customer/partner and a competitor in the broader paint market, with its own sustainability and circular paint programs.
• Tikkurila: Nordic decorative paints manufacturer with sustainability-focused product lines. Comparable as a regional paint brand that could serve as a customer or competitor in Inter-GreeN's European footprint.
• Crown Paints: Large UK-based decorative paint manufacturer offering a broad architectural coatings portfolio. Comparable as a channel partner / potential customer for recycled inputs and as an incumbent competing for shelf space at wholesalers where Inter-GreeN sells.

Direct peers

• AURO Pflanzenchemie: German natural-paint specialist producing plant-based, ecologically responsible coatings. Comparable as a European sustainable-paint peer competing for the same eco-conscious B2B and consumer segments.
• ECOS Paints: US-based manufacturer of zero-VOC and environmentally responsible paints. Comparable to Inter-GreeN in the eco-decorative-paint niche, though operating in a different geography and with virgin rather than recycled feedstocks.
• Earthborn Paints: UK-based eco-friendly decorative paint manufacturer focused on natural, low-VOC formulations. Directly comparable to Inter-GreeN's sustainable, non-virgin-raw-material value proposition targeting architects and green-building buyers.
• BioShield Paints: US maker of non-toxic, natural-resin paints for architectural and art applications. Comparable to Inter-GreeN's premium, sustainability-positioned wall paint offering.

Emerging players

• Backdrop: Newer direct-to-consumer eco-friendly paint brand targeting design-conscious residential customers. Comparable as an emerging sustainable-paint entrant; differs from Inter-GreeN by emphasizing low-VOC virgin formulations over recycled content.
