RPC's Supertainer plastic paint can was selected and is claimed to deliver a lower carbon footprint and enhanced decoration possibilities.

Castle Paints is using Supertainer for its 2.5 and 5 litre variants, as well as RPC Oakham's standard 1 litre paint can and 5 litre S range can.

Ronan Spollen of Castle Paints said: "We are fully committed to ensuring our products are designed to cater for the requirements of Irish businesses and the Irish consumer – and that includes the high quality RPC containers we use."
