Barriers: B4-Barriers to P2 B4 - Source reduction activities were implemented but were unsuccessful.
|
Barriers to P2: B4 - Source reduction activities were implemented but were unsuccessful. - Projects to improve dust collection at the source were unsuccessful due to the difficulty in processing the low density raw material. Americhem closed the Mansfield Texas facility in 2019. |

W13: Primary processing equipment is on scheduled maintenance program to rebuild worn parts, which contributes to higher product yields. W71: Americhem conducted a Kaizen event in August of 2016 to evaluate clean-up of our top two (2) primary process lines. The amount polyethylene material required for clean-up was reduced by 40%. In 2017, Americhem has continued to reduce the amount of polyethylene used in clean-up by 40%. Source Reduction - Maintenance technicians have improved efficiency of primary equipment and decreased equipment breakdown, which is directly correlated to process waste. Source Reduction - Americhem tracks the raw material plant losses and reports monthly to management. Source Reduction - Americhem conducted a Kaizen event to evaluate the clean-up of our top 2 primary process lines. The Kaizen team represented employees from production, engineering and management. Source Reduction - Improved preventative maintenance program by scheduling process equipment downtime, which was suggested by the maintenance technicians. Source Reduction - Americhem conducted a Kaizen event to evaluate the clean-up of our top 2 primary process lines. The Kaizen team represented employees from production, engineering and management. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Americhem continuously seeks ways to lessen our environmental impact through waste reduction activities, substitution with safer materials, and increasing the amount of waste material sent to recycling and reuse programs. |

W13: Primary processing equipment is on scheduled maintenance program to rebuild worn parts which contributes higher product yields. W51: Installed secondary equipment to reprocess plastic material which would have otherwise been outside of size specifications resulting in 0.4% additional reduction in annual losses or approximately 22,000 lbs of material saved. Other Environmental Practices: Source Reduction - Americhem continuously seeks ways to lessen our environmental impact through waste reduction activities, substitution with safer materials, and increasing the amount of waste material sent to recycling and reuse programs. |

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - PVC based scrap material was sent to a company for direct reuse; however, this company can no longer accept material of kind. Alternative companies for reuse of PVC scrap have not been identified. A project will be initiated to reduce the production of scrap material and will most likely require manufacturing changes and capital equipment purchases. Other Environmental Practices: Ways P2 Was Incorporated in Original Process Design - Polymeric materials which can be reused are segregated and sent to a company who specializes in grinding material and finding outlets for reuse. |
