Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - All wastes containing Copper are sent off site for recycling. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Copper is an active component for friction materials. No cost-affective substitutes are known at this time. |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - All friction material wastes containing Copper are sent off site for recycling. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Copper is an integral part of clutch friction materials and constitutes a significant portion of the formulation. Two properties of a clutch friction materials is wear resistance and coefficient of friction. The use of copper in the formulation provides the most cost effective way to maintain the necessary properties. |

Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
W82: In 2019, Ace Manufactured a new friction formulation for it's heavy duty clutches. The new formulation reduced the amount of Copper by approx. 4%, however, this formulation is of limited use and therefore, it had only a small effect on reducing the amount of copper processed at Ace Manufacturing. Source Reduction - The primary force behind reducing use of Copper in friction materials for heavy duty applications was due to cost considerations of raw materials. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Copper waste by Ace Manufacturing is sent to local recycling facilities on a regular basis. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Although Ace Manufacturing has developed a friction material with a reduced amount of copper, this formulation has had a limited use. |

W81: Recently implemented a new friction material formulation with a reduced amount of copper. This formulation number is ACB1-19. Source Reduction - Friction material formulation was changed permanently to reduce the amount of copper. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Copper is an element that is necessary in the formulation of clutch brake friction materials. Friction materials require a level of performance including wear and coefficient of friction. Copper, along with other elements contribute to the performance characteristics. Copper will remain an essential element in the manufacture of clutch friction materials. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - It is the Policy of Ace Manufacturing/Rokwell Industries to reduce/eliminated wastes whenever possible. Wastes produced by the friction material department that contain copper and other recyclable metals are sent to re-cyclers in order to reduce negative environmental impact. |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Waste streams from the friction material process will always contain some amount of copper. Waste from all friction materials are sent to waste handling organizations that can recycle the copper component. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Copper is an element that is part of every friction material formulation. Currently, there are no known substitutes that can offer the same performance characteristics as copper. As such, copper cannot be substituted with any other element. |

Other Environmental Practices - Ace Manufacturing and Parts Company has both a Quality Management System AND Environmental Management system that is registered to ISO9001:2015 AND ISO14001:2015. It strives for continuous improvement throughout the organization and as such is always looking for ways to reduce waste. In that policy objective, Ace has developed (3rd Qtr 2017) waste log sheets to assist in better tracking of its waste. The aim is to provide an even more accurate account of its copper and lead wastes. Use of this data will help to provide management with the information to formulate realistic goals for waste reduction.
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Copper is a necessary ingredient in the manufacture of friction materials for clutches. This chemical, along with others, provide the necessary properties required for clutch friction materials, namely, wear resistance and coefficient of friction. Currently, there is no known substitute for copper that would not cause adverse wear/friction properties compared to the current formulas. |

W81: In 2011, the copper content of friction "Buttons", which is the MAJORITY of friction material production, was reduced by approx. 10%.. Ace has developed another newer friction material formula for "Buttons" to reduce copper content by another 10%, however, until customers review/test/accept the change to the new formulation, Ace must continue to use the current formulation. Therefore, at present, no copper reduction has yet been realized. Source Reduction - - The copper reduction project for friction "Buttons" is an internal Ace Continuous Improvement Project.. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Ace Manufacturing and Parts has implemented a project to reduce the copper content of its friction materials. This project is part of the Ace Continuous Improvement Project. When realized, this project, in turn, will reduce copper waste for the various friction products. |

Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Ace continuously reviews its process to reduce/eliminate waste of all kinds. Currently, there are no known manufacturing methods to help reduce the amount of copper from the current waste stream. In the event that new, cost effective solutions are found to reduce copper usage or waste without sacrificing part quality, Ace, in line with its business policy, will give full consideration to implementing these solutions as applicable. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - As a responsible member of the world community, Ace Manufacturing, in line with its business policy, will strive to reduce/eliminate/recycle wastes. The Ace Environmental Management System is registered to ISO14001. |

|
Barriers to P2: B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat - Although there are alternative technologies, they are not economically feasible at this time. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Ace currently recycles its waste friction materials (containing copper and lead). Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Copper is used as a component in clutch friction materials. This material is part of a known formula to provide the friction material with specific required properties (i.e. wear and coefficient of friction) therefore, currently, for this application, copper must remain as an integral part of the friction material formula and thus at present must remain in use for production and will only rise or fall in demand due to customer needs/requirements. |

Barriers to P2 - Ace continuously reviews its process to reduce/eliminate waste of all kinds. Currently, there are no known manufacturing methods to help reduce the amount of copper from the current waste stream.
