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 Source Reduction:: S05: Modified content, grade, or purity of a chemical input[-5-14%]


Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T02: External pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
S05: We are using feedstock for our manufacturing process that has a low lead concentration.

Source Reduction - Working with vendors and customer suggested suppliers that are seeking low lead steel.
Source Reduction - We can compare the percentages of lead in our raw materials from their certificates and ensure we are making progress in our efforts to minimize thge lead content.
Source Reduction - Our customers are asking for low lead materials to be used in the manufacturing of their products.
2023 Source Reduction:: S05: Modified content, grade, or purity of a chemical input

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T02: External pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
S05: Based on customer demands (Volvo, etc.) we are now sourcing raw materials with a low percentage of Pb.

Source Reduction - Our customers are auditing our processes and raw material selection to ensure a safer, lead-free or low lead product is being manufactured.
Source Reduction - Working within the supply chain to purchase lead free and low lead containing steel.
2022 Source Reduction:: S03: Substituted raw materials, feedstock, or reactant chemical[-25-49%]


Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T02: External pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
S03: One of our main customers, Volvo, has made it their policy to go with steel (3% lead) for their parts manufacturiing. Our leaded steel use has decreased.

Source Reduction - Our customers are requesting lead free raw materials in their finsished products.
Source Reduction - Customers are mandating decreased use of leaded steel (3% max) used in our products and aasemblies.
Source Reduction - Environmental programs and sustainability are becoming more and more prevalent as companies are embracing the principles of ESG and demanding more from their suppliers.
2021 Source Reduction:: S03: Substituted raw materials, feedstock, or reactant chemical[-25-49%]


Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T02: External pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Source Reduction - We will re-engineer existing assemblies and convert to feedstock and materials with the goal of lead content being eliminated.
Source Reduction - Volvo is in process of eliminating lead from its automotive line (Penta). We will see decrease in leaded steel accordingly.
2020 Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials[-15-24%]


Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T02: External pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
W42: Some of our major contracts are asking for a substitute material to eliminate the lead in steel for their parts.

2018 Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
Barriers: B7-No Information B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.

Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Our ISO14001 program challenges us to look at replacing harmful materials with less harmful alternatives whenever possible.

Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Lead compounds used in soldering of our military, aerospace and mechanical devices must perform at a high level. As a result we are not able to change our lead solder composition presently. We are actively seeking alternatives to all substances of concern.

2017 Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials
Source Reduction:: W81: Changed product specifications[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
W42: In-process activity to reduce / replace lead solder.
W81: Product development engineers are investigating the potential usage of alternative solder materials.

Source Reduction - Based on current customer needs and their article specifications.
Source Reduction - Vendors are providing materials to be tested for specific applications.
2016 Source Reduction:: W82: Modified design or composition of product
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
