E63 - Billie Kay Asmus - Repaint Studios - PAINTING A GREENER FUTURE WITH THE REPAINT TRAY

EPISODE 63 - Billie Kay Asmus - Repaint Studios - PAINTING A GREENER FUTURE WITH THE REPAINT TRAY Meet Billie In early 2021, I started a small business refinishing and refurbishing furniture in my tiny basement studio. I quickly noticed the constant waste I was going through with plastic paint tray liners and wasn't able to reuse them. Naturally, I went to Amazon and Google to find a reusable option and couldn't find one. So then what? Needless to say, I jumped on the opportunity, filed a patent for a reusable silicone paint tray liner with a lid and the Repaint Tray was born. That's when the journey began. Trust me. I get it. I 100% understand the frustration (and joy) of painting. Realistic Expectations Saving you time & creating efficiency. Being an ADHD DIYer entrepreneur mom, time and attention spans are limited. Started a painting project but your kid just woke up from their nap? YEP. I've been there.  Need to run off somewhere but don't have time to finish your project? This was me. All the time. Sick of throwing out painting supplies and wasting money and time running back to the store? I 1000% get it! I created the Repaint Tray just for you.  DURABLE The Repaint Tray is made of high-quality silicone, making it more durable than disposable thin plastic liners. In fact, one tray could last you a lifetime. SUSTAINABLE Roughly 240 million plastic paint tray liners get tossed into landfills every year. It's time to make a change in a wasteful industry. Not only is the Repaint Tray recyclable, but we strive to translate our eco-conscious efforts throughout the entire company. REUSABLE The best parts of the Repaint Tray are its reusability and convenience. When you're finished, peel away the paint and rinse the rest. Need to step away from your project? Snap on the air-tight lid, keeping your paint fresh and safe away from pets and kids for when you're ready to tackle that project again. https://repaintstudios.com/ [https://repaintstudios.com/] ___ https://upcyclecanada.ca/ [https://upcyclecanada.ca/] Check out a great new podcast created just for Dad!  We want to encourage and empower Dads everywhere to be the best Dad they can be!  Check out everything for Dad at https://dadspace.ca/ [https://dadspace.ca/] Please share this podcast with a Dad that you love!
