Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
Barriers: B1-Barriers to P2 B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Cross contamination of active ingredients require extensive cleaning which creates waste. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Dust collection, dedication of equipment (where possible) and recycling activities have been implemented successfully. Barriers to P2: B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat - Dedication of equipment to avoid cross contamination and cleanout expense would require substantial finances. |

W19: Installed bulk storage tanks to minimize changeovers in production and lengthen production runs. The storage tanks are filled and then transferred back into production for packaging or shipped out as bulk instead of packaging smaller containers. Source Reduction - Identified production efficiencies as well as waste minimization by formulating long runs of like products, storing additionally made product that will be packaged or shipped at a later date in bulk storage tanks and then transferring this material back into production or shipping it when additional product is sold. By doing this there are less equipment rinses that are either disposed as hazardous waste or recycled back into production. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Reduced the number of equipment and vessel cleanouts. |

W19: Corporate decision to reduce the number of products made which reduced changeovers, cleanouts and waste. Source Reduction - Employees at all levels communicated about scheduling to reduce cleanouts and waste. Source Reduction - Installed a new dust collection system decreasing dust and the cleanup of the dust. Source Reduction - Installed higher efficiency dust collection system reducing dust and waste from the dust. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Employee participation in daily operations, leak detection, near miss reporting and recycling management. Source Reduction: Waste Treatment - Better leak detection reduced water used in cleaning and the amount of water requiring treatment. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Due to change in product mix we reduced the amount of product changeovers and the amount of waste either recycled or disposed significantly.Installed a higher efficiency dust collection system reducing cleanup and waste. |

Source Reduction - Replaced aged dust collection system with new higher efficiency dust collection system. Source Reduction - Vendor sized and designed dust collection system for current operations and current raw materials. Took into consideration worse case dust concerns in the design of the dust collection system. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Recycling is part of the culture of the facility and goes beyond regulated materials. Facility management includes recycling in production planning efforts, reports recycling achievements/opportunities to employees to maintain buy in and tracks recycling initiatives as a part of corporate sustainability goals. |

W14: Scheduled long production runs and like products to minimize changeovers to minimize waste and improve recycling. W33: Installed an automation control system that minimizes human error potential and possible overflow of tanks as well as potential mistakes that would result in waste. Source Reduction - Employees were included in the management of change throughout the installation of the automation system. Source Reduction - The vendor worked closely with operators and maintenance to develop checklists, perform maintenance and address concerns. Source Reduction - A management of change and process hazard analysis were performed prior and during the installation of the auto system. IncIuded in these reviews were employees involved in the process, representing various levels and disciplines and the vendor |
