Pollution Prevention Activities for Selected Chemical
Reporting Year | Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity | Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity | Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information* |
---|---|---|---|
2021 |
Source Reduction:: S11: Reformulated or developed new product line[-50-99%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
|
S11: Changed raw material from a styrene monomer to a non-styrene monomer (which is not a listed 313 Chemical). This change reduced company's styrene releases by 80% over prior year's releases. Source Reduction - Company is moving toward zero-styrene raw materials to reduce environmental impact and health risks. |

Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials[-50-99%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
W42: Cambro reformulated their liquid polyester resin to a zero-styrene alternative resin type; and reformulated their SMC to a low-styrene resin type. Cambro is continuing progress toward an ultimate goal of zero-styrene raw materials. |

W42: This facility spent months of modifying the manufacturing process, engineering trials, quality testing, product qualifications, etc. in order to reformulate the polyester resin raw materials to a low-styrene alternative. Source Reduction - Employees realized opportunity to lower styrene content of raw materials to improve employee/community safety and reduce environmental footprint. Source Reduction - Multiple departments worked together to reformulate resin mix, redesign operating parameters, and test/qualify final products. |

2014 |
Source Reduction:: W39: Other spill or leak prevention[-0-4%]
Source Reduction:: W41: Increased purity or raw materials[-0-4%] Source Reduction:: W78: Other surface preparation and finishing modifications[-0-4%] |

W41: Worked with SMC vendor to improve material quality and reduce rejects Source Reduction - Installation of robotics used for edge-sanding of trays to reduce rejects Source Reduction - Improvements made to tray molds to minimize leaks & waste |
2012 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Source reduction activities were implemented in previous years. Additional reduction does not appear to be technically or economically feasible. |
