Source Reduction:: W64: Improved draining procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T07: State government technical assistance program |
Source Reduction - capturing paint residue from drum bottoms and using instead of disposing of them Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - capturing paint residue |
2018 |
Source Reduction:: W64: Improved draining procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)

Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - capture paint residues in drum bottoms by draining into a full drum and utilizing the material |
2017 |
Source Reduction:: W64: Improved draining procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
|
W64: Improved the draining procedure of empty paint drums, recycle draining of drums. Source Reduction - Drainage recommendation came from process operator. Drain residues from used drum into a new drum versus washing down with water and having the water shipped off site for treatment. The drum residues are than baked in and shipped off for scrap steel. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Capture paint residues in drum bottoms by draining into a full drum and utilizing the material. |

W56: Raw material transition complete in 2016 for reduction of organic solvent usage for spray application. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - In an effort for the facility to actively participate in the corporate zero waste to landfill initiative. The manufacturing facility recycled 26 tons of corrugated cardboard in 2015. This cardboard was a product of incoming components used in manufacturing. This is cardboard that once went into the trash compactor and eventually ended up in a landfill. |
