Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - zinc is cost effective for what it does within the process. Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Rubbe and zince is burned. It is used as a fuel source. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Used or expired zinc is repurposed when possible for non food or medical grade applications. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Formulation is exact from off site. |

2018 |
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
|
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Contaminated with dirt other foreign matter is not allowed per quality requirements. It cannot be used as we make medical products. We recycle what we can but is limited to 10% of the raw materials. |
|
2017 |
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
|
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Highly automated manufacturing requires rubber parts to be coated with zinc stearate so they do not stick during assembly. In addition, assembly is automatic to prevent foreign matter contamination. |
|
2016 |
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
|
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Control metering with process equipment upgrades in the manufacture of rubber using Zinc Stearate is planned for 2017. Improved processing of rubber will results in higher rubber volumes with moderate increases in the use of zinc stearate. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Zinc is needed to make medical grade rubber and prevent sticking of rubber parts |
