S25: W68 Improved Equipment Rinse OperationImproving rinse equipment operations (e.g. flow rate and time of rinsing) to control the amount of water used to clean equipment after product change-overs continues to help keep waste and wastewater generation rates as low as possible. S35: W29 Other changes in inventory controlInventory control practices used during the reporting year consisted of a variety of the following activities: (a) performing routine inventory checks to ensure that raw materials/chemicals don't expire beyond their shelf-lives, (b) returning raw materials to vendors prior to their expiration, (c) testing outdated materials for possible re-use, and (d) placing more focus on accurate labeling of raw materials and products before, during and after transfer steps. A new Catalyst/SAP system was implemented in RY2020 to help with inventory control. S41: W14 Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock change-oversProduction schedules are routinely adjusted to minimize change-overs. This helps minimize wastes generated during raw material transfers and cleaning/rinsing operations associated with change-overs. Source Reduction - Team planners and schedulers help adjust production schedules in an effort to minimize change-overs. This helps minimize wastes generated during raw material transfers and cleaning/rinsing operations associated with change-overs. Source Reduction - Infrequent testing of expired materials for possible re-use, in conjunction with more focus on accurate labeling, has helped to reduce the amount of waste generated.

All P2 ideas, including necessary resources, equipment and estimated costs, are presented for approval and implemented if found to be feasible. This year's focus was on reducing waste, water consumption and wastewater generation rates. Source Reduction - Timely reporting of expiring materials to vendors periodically results in the ability to return the materials prior to expiration and necessary disposal.

Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - The neutralization capabilities of the wastewater treatment system are more efficient due to newer and improved technology, therefore allowing for a reduction in chemistry needed to effectively neutralize wastewater influent to within permit limits prior to discharging to the POTW. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Good planning, inventory and spill control practices are as effective as possible and keep usage to a minimum. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - P2 is incorporated into original process design via the use of the company's "Management of Change Process", in which environmental sustainability efforts are addressed.
