2022 |
Source Reduction:: S02: Substituted an organic solvent[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T09: Trade association/industry technical assistance program
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
S02: Chemicals was substituted when possible but did not result in noticeable reductions within the chemical familiy Source Reduction - Trade organizations are helpful to find replacements, but chemical family continues to be difficult to replace Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Unique characteristics of chemical make it difficult to replace |

Source Reduction:: S11: Reformulated or developed new product line
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits

S11: Reformulation will always remain as a means of source reduction whenever possible. Particularly challenging this year due operating environment and supply chain issues. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - With measure previously undertaken for source reduction, it becomes increasing more difficult to find ways to reduce sources. Staffing issues caused by COVID 19 as well as the related supply chain issue only added to the challenges of source reduction. Non-recurring issues were also magnified due to these challenges. |

Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Pollution prevention measures have been implemented in past years to reduce the use of certain glycol ethers. Efforts are still under way to reduce or replace this chemical. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Glycol ethers have proven to be the most effective chemical when manufacturing water-based products. With an effort toward increasing water-based products, it is difficult to replace these chemicals and maintain product performance. Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - Rudd Company has managed to reduce its waste streams by 20% while showing a 5% increase in production. |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - There are no other products available with necessary properties and different compounds. Solvent is a component of several waterborne coatings or necessary to achieve proper application. New raw materials are continually evaluated as appropriate replacements. |
