Source Reduction:: S06: Other material modifications made[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S06: Amphenol APC offers alternative finishes which do not utilize lead. (Ag, Sn, Pd) Source Reduction - Front end engineering and product design, assist in promoting alternative finishes. Commercial products are open to alternatives, Military product continues to require Sn/Pb. Based on Commercial/Military product ratio we can see a reduction. Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Military requirement for Sn/b in product does not allow for substitution. |

Source Reduction:: S14: Other product modifications made
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
Source Reduction - Amphenol APC manufactures products per customer design or specification. As a whole our customers are moving away from having Lead in their products. Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Our use of Lead is primarily driven by our customer's designs and specification. Our military products require Lead in lieu of alternatives such as Tin. |

Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
|
Source Reduction - Engineer replaced old equipment with new, higher tolerance equipment Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Amphenol APC manufactures to customer demands, these products vary in design and material use. This results in annual usage variation. |
2019 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W13: Worked with process engineers to reevaluate dump criteria to extend bath usage life Source Reduction - Process engineers, production managers and EHS worked to establish criteria to extend bath life Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The use of Lead in our product is established by our customer demands. Much of our work supports aerospace/military which continue to utilize Lead in their designs. |

W22: If a material exceeds it's expiration date, we have the vendor recertify whenever possible. W58: Working with Engineers to extend the useful life of chemical baths to reduce dump and remakes Source Reduction - We always utilize counter flow rinses Source Reduction - We audit our raw materials, identifying materials approaching an expiration date and work with our vendors to get it recertified to extent its useful life. Source Reduction - We audit our raw materials, identifying materials approaching an expiration date and work with our vendors to get it recertified to extent its useful life. Source Reduction - Have internally published dump targets which must be met before a chemical bath is dumped. If target is not met it is not allowed to be dumped. |

Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W19: Lead use in our products has declined in demand. We manufacture to our customer designs, we are seeing a reduction in demand due to ROHS regulations. |
2014 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Lead use in product is driven by customer requirements. The industry as a whole is moving away from Lead, which has resulted in gradual reduction of its use. |
||
2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Variations in product demand |
||
2012 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Lead usage is a decline due to implementation of ROHS regulations and general awareness in the industry. We are seeing a decline in the use of Lead in our products. With that we are working on other chemical which are not in a state of decline. |
