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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 |
Source Reduction:: W82: Modified design or composition of product
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W82: Starting in 2013 a new version of this product, which uses pressurized air as a propellant instead of CFCs, was made available for patient use, and production of the CFC propellant version of this product was discontinued. |
| 2012 |
Other Environmental Practices - Our Company has developed an alternative delivery system for this medication that is equally effective to the current CFC based delivery system yet uses no CFC's. Starting in 2013 this new product, which uses pressurized air as a propellant, will be available for patient use and the CFC propellant version of this product will be discontinued.
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - 6. Pollution prevention previously implemented- additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feasible. Fugitive emissions are the result of the minimal testing required for each unit. Point source emissions are the result of releases at the end of a production run. Efforts are made to capture all material prior to this release. Wastes sent for offsite disposal are mostly made of up of material captured at the end of the production run. This operation is shutting down in 2013 so further efforts to streamline are not economically feasible. |
