Water-based lacquers need smart waste management

Certified. Compliant. Hassle-free.

Whether you’re a wood finisher, metal coating specialist, or run an industrial spray booth, your tools and equipment produce rinse water that needs to be handled correctly — and legally. CWG gives lacquer workshops a plug-and-play solution to stay compliant and efficient — without disrupting your workflow.

Wood / Metal Finishers

Handle rinse water from brush and spray applications of water-based lacquers on furniture, joinery, interiors and metal parts.

Industrial Spray Booths

Collect and certify rinse water from high-volume operations or multi-surface finishing setups.

You Work Clean
But Where Does the Wastewater Go?

Water-based lacquer and coating systems still produce hazardous rinse water, especially when cleaning spray guns, brushes, rollers, or booths and big volumes. This water often contains PFAS, pigments, and other harmful residues that legally can not go down the drain.

Fines or shutdowns from environmental inspections
No certification to show proper disposal
Unsafe conditions for employees
Storage and handling issues with buckets and tool wash water
