Source Reduction:: S05: Modified content, grade, or purity of a chemical input[-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. |
S05: Evaluate effectiveness of production chemicals that do not contain or have a reduced concentration of Glycol ethers. Source Reduction - Process engineering group working to identify potential replacement of reduction for processes that containing certain glycol ethers. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Determination of effectiveness will be crucial to developing replacements. |
| 2021 |
Source Reduction:: S35: Other improvements to inventory and material management
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
S35: Set inventory levels for specific materials. Due to supply chain issues some materials expired due to ordering excess amounts to ensure having it on hand. Source Reduction - Group compared lead times and usage to determine inventory levels. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Increased usage for 2021 was driven by quality issues due to contaminant redepositing on product. Also experienced process upsets that required dumping and remaking a bath more frequently than desired. |
| 2020 |
Source Reduction:: W22: Began to test outdated material - continue to use if still effective
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Production group (Engineer and operators) are working to minimize material expiring before full use Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Use of Glycol ether bearing materials is determined by customer requirements for products manufactured in the reporting year. This results in a variation based on products manufactured. |
