Source Reduction:: S43: Introduced in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
S43: Implemented online phenol monitoring to help address phenol content in wastewater. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Raw materials used in product contain phenol and are key components to the function of the product. Suitable replacements that would not reduce the performance of the product have not been found. |
