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. |
Source Reduction - We segregate all floor sweepings and materials captured during housekeeping procedures and if at all possible recrystallize these back to original raw material state.
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - We segregate our floor and housekeeping accumulations by department and try to reprocess this material through the manufacturing reprocess or recrystallization to a finished product. Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - We are receiving more orders for these products due to our capacity to meet the Mil-Specs. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - There are no know substitutes and these products are used by the Military, Automobile, Energetics, Areospace and more. |

W19: Operator training, work practices, and inventory control to eliminate overruns, housekeeping issues, and material tracking to insure that all material is kept in a form to allow reintroduction in the process. Source Reduction - Actively work with vendors to reduce dust and maintain integrity of feed stock and produced material. Added a bulk handling supsersack conditioner to reduce the amount of waste. Source Reduction - Robust material tracking with the departments and QC to insure that inventory is maintained and monitored to reduce waste. Source Reduction - All employees in all departments have extensive training to identify and eliminate waste in their area and to keep all overruns and housekeeping in the departments to enable reintroduction to the raw material through screening or recrystallization. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - On site material tracking system eliminates waste production by identifying material that can be processed for sale. |
