Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
W42: Our suppliers are evaluating mixtures in which part of the antimony oxide flame retardant in a plastics formulation can be replaced with another substance. Source Reduction - Our vendors are exploring possible partial substitutes for antimony oxide, which contains the lead impurities. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - As of now, there is no state of the art replacement (in part or whole) for antimony oxide as a synergist flame retardant (usually in combination with brominated flame retardants). Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - Efforts so far has not proven very successful. Some vendors have found a partial replacement, but it is not effective enough for mainstream use. |

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Trace contaminant in other key raw material |

2014 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Trace amounts of lead in antimony oxide are naturally-occurring. Future efforts will focus on reduction of antimony oxide. |
||
2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Lead is a naturally-occurring trace element in antimony oxide and cannot be controlled by the supplier. |
||
2012 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Lead is an impurity in antimony oxide. AlphaGary cannot reduce the quantity of lead as this is determined by the purity of the ore mined by our antimony oxide supplier. Low impurity levels makes it economically unfeasible for suppliers to reduce. |
||
2011 | Barriers to P2 - Lead is an impurity in one of our Form A-reportable TRI chemicals - Antimony and its compounds. Because the levels of lead are so low, source reduction and recycling do not accomplish much in the way of lead reduction. | ||
2009 | Barriers to P2 - Because lead occurs as a trace element in antimony oxide, we are not conducting any source reduction activities for this substance. | ||
