Pollution Prevention Activities for Selected Chemical

Reporting Year	Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity	Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity	Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information*
2024		Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.	Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - The raw product used to make our products has components that are subject to strict requirements from a quality standpoint and therefore they will likely never be altered much if any. All of these materials are necessary for creating the products at Trane Technologies. Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - The raw product used to make our products has components that are subject to strict requirements from a quality standpoint and therefore they will likely never be altered much if any. All of these materials are necessary for creating the products at Trane Technologies. Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - We recycle scrap metal with various entities. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - The raw product used to make our products has components that are subject to strict requirements from a quality standpoint and therefore they will likely never be altered much if any. All of these materials are necessary for creating the products at Trane Technologies. Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - We send industrial waste for energy recovery.

2022	Source Reduction:: S25: Other process modifications made[-5-14%]	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.	S25: Our disposal process shifted from disposing of the slag from the plasma cut table from the La Crosse County Landfill to Runde. Due to the de minimis exemption, we only count the material containing more than 1.0% of nickel in our off-site transfer calculations and the content in the slag does not exceed this. In addition, we started diverting other industrial waste from the landfill to EMCO as part of our Zero Waste to Landfill journey. Source Reduction - Our metal recycling broker identified the opportunity to divert this material to Runde Metal Recycling vs. disposal in the landfill.EMCO obtained our industrial wastes and assisted us with diverting from the La Crosse County Landfill. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Stainless steel and various cast iron contain nickel. The raw product used to make our products has components that are subject to strict requirements from a quality standpoint and therefore they will likely never be altered much if any. All of these materials are necessary for creating the products at Trane Technologies.
2021	Source Reduction:: S25: Other process modifications made	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.	S25: Our disposal process shifted from disposing of the slag from the plasma cut table from the La Crosse County Landfill to Runde. Due to the de minimis exemption, we only count the material containing more than 1.0% of nickel in our off-site transfer calculations and the content in the slag does not exceed this. Source Reduction - Our metal recycling partner identified the opportunity to divert this material to Runde Metal Recycling vs. disposal in the landfill. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Stainless steel and various cast iron contain nickel. The raw product used to make our products has components that are subject to strict requirements from a quality standpoint and therefore they will likely never be altered much if any. All of these materials are necessary for creating the products at Trane Technologies.
2020		Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.	Other Barriers to Source Reduction - A majority of the releases are transfers to scrap metal broker. The raw product used to make our products has components that are subject to strict requirements from a quality standpoint and therefore they will likely never be altered much if any. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Stainless steel and various cast iron contain nickel. All of these materials are necessary for creating the products at Trane Technologies Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We recycle scrap metal with local metal recycler.
2018			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Source was not reduced because one weld wire used in production. Site will communicate with vendor to see if other weld wire can be substituted which has less chromium in the raw product.A majority of the releases are transfers to scrap metal broker. The raw product used to make our products has components that are subject to strict requirements from a quality standpoint and therefore they will likely never be altered much if any.
2017	Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management	W58: Implemented hi def cutting tables and nesting software to reduce amount of scrap. Source Reduction - Many employees were involved in the implementation of above process modifications.
2016	Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management	W58: Implemented hi definition cutting heads on plasma tables and nesting programs which reduced scrap volume.
2013			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiatives.
2012			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment and additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feasible at this time.
