Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
Barriers: B3-No Information B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. Barriers: B6-No Information B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas Barriers: B8-No Information B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible |
S21: process development was able to modify process conditions for one reaction to reduce dichloromethane usage in that step by half. |
2021 |
Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Sufficiently pure material will be redirected to other facilities for use Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - inventory management system and previous optimization efforts Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Many processes are fixed and not allowed to be adjusted |

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas |
Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Some processes are not permitted to be altered after initial development work due to validation or customer requirements, but when permitted, optimization is part of process development. Source Reduction: Ways P2 Was Incorporated in Original Process Design - inventory management system |

Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
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. - Some processes are validated and may not be altered; some customers do not allow processes to be modified. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - when material meets specifications, it can be sent to another facility for re-use in their process. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Some processes are validated and may not be altered; some customers do not allow processes to be modified. When permitted to optimize processes, lower hazard materials are sought along with reduced volumes where safety and quality are not impacted. |

Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Process development incorporates reduction in toxicity or quantity where viable in process design. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Some processes can be negatively impacted by quantity reduction or change in chemicals. |

Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
|
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Used material and excess unused material that is suitable for reuse by other companies is segregated for use as a raw material. Approximately 7000 lb were prevented from going to waste via this pathway in 2017. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Used material and excess unused material that is suitable for reuse by other companies is segregated for use as a raw material. Approximately 7000 lb were prevented from going to waste via this pathway in 2017. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Where possible, minimization is incorporated into process design for projects under development. |

Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W13: update procedures for clarity on when it is suitable to be sent out as product for reuse Source Reduction - opportunities identified during team review of process hazard analysis or lab hazard reviews Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - when suitable, material is sent as a product for another site to re-use Source Reduction: Ways P2 Was Incorporated in Original Process Design - process development incorporates optimization and volume minimization when working on processes |
2015 |
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - A reuse program is used for suitable material and effectively reduces disposal quantities. Other Environmental Practices: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Projects are evaluated during process development for safer chemistry and volume reductions when permitted by the chemistry/quality and client. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - An inventory reduction effort is underway. |
