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*
2024 Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
2023 Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B3-No Information B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
S21: Expansion activities included updated bath sizes where the chemical wet out process takes place, updated catch trays to improve capture of liquid resin off from the process.

Source Reduction - Expansion activities were based on collaboration between all employees including operations and engineering.
2022 Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B3-No Information B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
S21: Completed expansion activities to include updated bath sizes where the chemical wet out process takes places, updated catch trays to improve capture of liquid resin off from the process.

Source Reduction - The expansion activities were based on collaboration between all employees including operations and engineering.
2021 Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
Barriers: B3-No Information B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
S21: Updated bath sizes where the chemical wet out process takes places, updated catch trays to improve capture of liquid resin off from the process.

2019 Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping[-0-4%]
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
W52: Moved to smaller bath size with a lower volume of resin. This reduces the amount of resin used and limits the loss of resin. Implemented a chilling system to help reclaim resin back into the bath.


Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - We have been able to reduce the amount of resin used at the source but much more reduction would cause quality degradation of the product being produced.

2014 Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
Source Reduction - install capture hoods and incinerator to capture fugitive emissions
