Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - In 2012, GM Components - Lockport became the 103rd General Motors Company facility to achieve landfill-free status by reusing, recycling or converting to energy all waste from its daily operations. Currently, GM has 122 landfill-free sites with a goal to increase that number to 150 sites by 2020. GM has more landfill-free sites and recycles more waste from its worldwide facilities than any other automaker. However, event waste (from one-time events, not associated with the daily, productive operations of the facility) may still be disposed via landfill if this is the only technical or economically feasible option. Such event waste may be reportable on the TRI report, but does not negate the landfill-free status of the facility, as that status is from daily operations. Waste from construction & demolition projects and environmental remediation are examples of event waste. In addition, certain TRI constituents may be reported on Form R as landfill even though the wastestream as a whole is managed by a method other than landfill. One example is when a wastestream is managed by waste-to-energy incineration. By EPA TRI convention, any metallic TRI constituent in such a wastestream will usually be reported as landfill in Section 6 and Section 8, since metals will remain in the incinerator ash, and that ash is presumed to be managed by landfill disposal.The following requirements define success for the GM landfill-free program:1. All waste generated from ongoing, day-to-day operations, including episodic/periodic events such as pit cleanouts.2. Byproducts dispositioned by any method except placement in a landfill.3. Byproduct materials sent to an off-site recycling or processing center and subsequently landfilled must not exceed 1 percent, by weight, of the facility total annual waste production. Ash generated from waste-to-energy recovery systems is exempt.For more information on GMs Landfill-Free initiative, see The Business Case for Zero Waste (http://www.gm.com/content/dam/gmcom/VISION/Environment/More_Environment/pdf/Landfill%20free%20blueprint%20_%20FINAL%205_28.pdf).This downloadable blueprint is intended to help companies of all sizes and industries reduce waste and create efficiencies.

2013 | Other Environmental Practices - In 2012, GM Components - Lockport became the 103rd General Motors Company facility to achieve landfill-free status by reusing, recycling or converting to energy all waste from its daily operations. Currently, GM recycles 84 percent of its global manufacturing waste and has 111 landfill-free sites with a goal to increase that number to 125 sites by 2020. GM has more landfill-free sites and recycles more waste from its worldwide facilities than any other automaker. These global waste management initiatives also helped eliminate over 10 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions in 2013. However, event waste (from one-time events, not associated with the daily, productive operations of the facility) may still be disposed via landfill if this is the only technical or economically feasible option. Such event waste may be reportable on the TRI report, but does not negate the landfill-free status of the facility, as that status is considered to be from daily operations. Waste from construction & demolition projects and environmental remediation are examples of event waste. In addition, certain TRI constituents may be reported on Form R as landfill even though the wastestream as a whole is managed by a method other than landfill. One example is when a wastestream is managed by waste-to-energy incineration. By EPA TRI convention, any metallic TRI constituent in such a wastestream will usually be reported as landfill in Section 6 and Section 8, since metals will remain in the incinerator ash, and that ash is presumed to be managed by landfill disposal.

Byproducts dispositioned by any method except placement in a landfill. 3. Byproduct materials sent to an off-site recycling or processing center and subsequently landfilled must not exceed 1 percent, by weight, of the total annual waste production for the facility. Ash generated from waste-to-energy recovery systems is exempt.

Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
W58: In 2011, we changed the customer that a certain scrap metal by-product stream was sold to. The recycling methods used by the new customer changed the TRI management from (reportable) recycling to (non-reportable) reuse. Source Reduction - The new vendor (scrap customer) has access to different end markets. This change became fully implemented (i.e. for a first full year) in 2012. Other Environmental Practices - During 2012, GMCH Lockport became the 103rd General Motors Company facility to achieve landfill-free status by reusing, recycling or converting to energy all waste from its daily operations. However, since some waste from daily operations went to landfill in the earlier part of 2012, TRI reports for the 2012 Reporting Year may show some constituents disposed to landfill. In addition, event waste (from one-time events, not associated with the daily, productive operations of the facility) may still be disposed via landfill if this is the only technical or economically feasible option. Such event waste may be reportable on the TRI report, but does not negate the landfill-free status of the facility, as that status is from daily operations. Waste from construction & demolition projects and environmental remediation are examples of event waste.

Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
W58: Part way through 2011, we changed the customer that a certain scrap metal by-product stream was sold to. The recycling methods used by the new customer changed the TRI management from (reportable) "recycling" to (non-reportable) "reuse". Source Reduction - The new "vendor" (scrap customer) has access to different end markets. |
