---|---|---|---|
2020 |
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - No substitute for di-isocyanates in urethane components used to manufacture electrical transformers Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Recycling is maximized |
|
2019 |
Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Decrease in use of diisocyanates was the result of product mix and volume |
||
2018 |
Source Reduction:: W15: Introduced an in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W15: Inspectors placed in line operation to identify defects and reduce waste Source Reduction - Management team has approved cost and implementation of inspection program |
2017 |
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Working to increase recycling activities |
||
2016 |
Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices[-15-24%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W19: Better equipment operation with less waste, better operation efficiency Source Reduction - Engineering, employees, production working together to reduce down time and waste |
2015 |
Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Eliminated usage of instapack packaging materials, reducing a source of the TRI chemical |
||
2014 |
Source Reduction:: W83: Modified packaging
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Eliminated Sealed-Air brand Instapack poly foam for packing our units in their shipping boxes and replaced with a Ranpack brand paper pad packing machine to pack units in their shipping boxes. |
2013 |
Source Reduction:: W83: Modified packaging
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
W83: Now using "Expandos" (TM) card board packing triangles in lieu of MDI "Insta-Pack" foam which eliminates a large part of our Diisocyanate consumption. Source Reduction - A packaging vendor suggested the Expandos when they found out we were trying to reduce MDI consumption in product packaging. |
2012 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T07: State government technical assistance program
|
W13: Better transformer build quality through procedure and instruction imrovements in soldering, crimping, mold build-up, and casting education. Source Reduction - Grant was administered through Edgecombe Community College and has yielded a 50% overall scrap reduction, thus, a nice reduction in isocyanate consumption. Source Reduction - We have reduced overall operator controlled scrap through technical, hands-on, and a quality training grant issued by the State of North Carolina and administered through Edgecombe Community College. This has yielded a 50% overall reduction in operator controlled scrap thus reducing isocyanate consumption (component in Urethane) in the process. |
2010 | Other Environmental Practices - We added two additional product lines to the facility in 2010 and the on-boarding resulted in a higher level of scrapped materials. Additionally, we prototyped three new products in 2010 that also increased the overall scrap rating. We are currently streamlining our process and improving the quality stopguards to reduce the overall scrap of materials. | ||
2009 | Other Environmental Practices - 2009 showed an increase in waste urethane for two reasons: 1. We are adding onto our facility and scrapped a large quantity of obsolute units we had been storing. 2. We are in the final prototype testing phase of two large units that contain 70% urethane and the test units in the process upped our total scrap/recylce quantity for the year. In 2010, we became certified by the Green Supplier Network and are applying the Lean, Green, and Clean metrics to our production processes to continue to reduce our overall scrap and waste. |
