2021 | |||
2020 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Production demand was unpredictable due to Covid-19 pandemic. Production of exterior products increased as well as the locations where those products were being manufactured. |

Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
W13: Improved management of partial containers to reduce losses and improved inventory controls with cycle counting/tracking Source Reduction - Annual inventory review identified losses of materials due to partial container usage. Improved tracking and control of partials has reduced some zinc compound usage. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Additional product substitutions identified are also considered toxic and would result in a transfer of type of toxic material instead of a reduction of the toxics usage |

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits |
W29: Improved management of partial bags. |
2017 |
Source Reduction:: W89: Other product modifications[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
|
W89: Continual Research and development from offsite teams to modify product formulations impacts the chemical usage in production Source Reduction - Local impacts are influenced by product formulation changes |
2016 |
Source Reduction:: W82: Modified design or composition of product
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W82: There was an increase in production of paint products year over year. The amount of toxics used did not increase at the same rate. This is due to product mix. Product mix is based on customer demand. Zinc compounds are used in exterior paint products. Increase in production was mostly due to increased sales of interior latex paint products. Source Reduction - Continual Research and Development from offsite teams that impact material used in production |
2015 |
Source Reduction:: W31: Improved storage or stacking procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
W31: Re-organizing the warehouse Source Reduction - Review of Pollution Prevention during Monthly Safety Committee meetings Source Reduction - Improved Storage and Use of material to reduce the amount spilled on the ground. Continuing to look at way to improve delivery of material into mixing vessels to eliminate waste |
2014 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Focused source reduction activities on other chemicals during calendar year. |

2013 |
Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
Source Reduction - Product Development has identified toxic chemicals in the product formulations and made efforts to reduce the amount used while maintaining product quality |
