Other Barriers to Source Reduction - This chemical is the result of grinding cured rubber polymers. All of the chemical ingredients are bound in a polymer matrix and cured into the final form before any granulation/size reduction process. Due to the fact that all of the ingredients are bound in a cross-linked matrix of cured rubber, the product is not considered to be hazardous as defined by OSHA 29 CFR 1910,1200. At no point in the size reduction process do we inventory, handle, or introduce/use this chemical. |

Source Reduction - A change in production processing has been the main contributor when it comes to lower the amount of material/chemicals in our waste stream. All incoming products from within the supply chain is converted to WIP (work in process) immediately. This prevents the materials form setting on a lot where corrugated boxes can fall apart spilling the materials onto the ground requiring immediate clean-up and disposal. Now, all incoming products are brought to the facility, converted to WIP, and then stage in a warehouse by polymer type. This greatly reduces the waste stream, provides better inventory/organization, and allows the entire facility to operate more efficient. |

2011 | Barriers to P2 - Midwest Elastomers Inc does not manufacture, produce, or compound ruber products in our faciility that would allow this chemical to be released from the process. We are a rubber recycling company that brings in scrap / discarded mateirals from rubber producers. We then recycle these materials, through specialized grinding, granulating / pulverizing the mateiral to a smaller size so that our customers can reintroduce the material back into their virgin compounds. Are job is to resize the rubber products that we receive to meet the customers'' expectations. Our calculations that we report are for off-site landfill purposes. The materials that are landfilled simply do not meet our internal specifications to the point of being able to be recycled do to nonconformance issues and/or degradation. The materials that are landfilled do contain small traces of the chemical reported in which we fulfill the necessary reporting requirements, per regulation, to TRI. |
