W14: Longer Runs W15: Reduction of inbound quality testing of chemicals reducing waste W22: Testing aged inventory. Eliminated old inventory so we won't be producing as much scrap. Test group eliminated. W50: Softener system installed in water system eliminating city water consumption Source Reduction - We meet as a group to continually discuss and review potential source reduction and waste minimization activities. Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - We meet as a group to continually discuss and review potential source reduction and waste minimization activities. Continuously walking the floor auditing and pursuing conversations. Assurance of no PFAS chemicals. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Blades recycled as scrap metalPurchased drum crusher for 2021 implementation Source Reduction: Source Reduction - W21-product discontinuationW25-recycling / reuse relationship with current vendors for end boards, skids, etc.W29-old inventory sent to sales to clear shelves of old logosW32-transfer vessels to pump from drums to boothW33-installed overflow alarmsW39-new RCRA floor in Chem Mix areaW51-water systemW54 and T10-tote recycling/return Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - Softener system installed reducing city water consumption and use Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Priced outdoor cover for potential use to store pallets underneath and apply for no-exposure certification for SW mgmt.
