Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program) Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
S41: Kaizen events have been held throughout the year. Most were not specific to solvent reduction but it is assumed that any improvements in operations will have an impact in solvent usage. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Continued efforts to decrease usage and blends of this solvent but this particular solvent is needed for the ink structure used for this type of label. |

S44: The facility hired an in-house ink vendor to manage the ink to the press. Source Reduction - Continued efforts to schedule like jobs increase efficiency on press and make ready. Tier boards are used to communicate any issues throughout the day. Source Reduction - Part of the intention of the in-house ink supplier is to manage the inks at the press and have ready when needed. This can help with ordering volumes, formulations, and lead times at press. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Continued team efforts with ink suppliers to decrease usage and blends but this solvent is needed for the integrity of the label. |

Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
Source Reduction - Schedule like jobs and families of jobs during same runs. This will keep make ready times low and less adjusting of colors. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Team efforts between production and ink suppliers to decrease usage and blend but this solvent is still needed for the integrity of the label. |

Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
W14: Focused on running like jobs/families on the press to minimize downtime due to make readies. Source Reduction - Consistent work between scheduling and the customer service representatives. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - A team effort to decrease toluene consumption was made in CY2018. A continued decrease in CY2019 was realized but the solvent is still needed for the integrity of the label. |

W52: Kaizen events were used to create a better process for the make ready department. The goal is to reduce make ready times which would in turn decrease the time an ink would be prepped waiting on press. W84: Continued work to create a toluene free heat transfer ink system. Source Reduction - Continued collaborative work with vendors to trial new toluene free inks. Source Reduction - Continued internal team work to design trials for toluene free inks Source Reduction - Use of Kaizen events to decrease waiting times during make readies on press |
2017 |
Source Reduction:: W84: Developed a new chemical product to replace previous chemical product[-15-24%]

W84: There was an initiative to our ink vendors to eliminate/reduce toluene. It is calculated that there was a 23% reduction in toluene use from the previous year. Source Reduction - Worked with team to trial new inks. Source Reduction - Workded with vendors and team to trial new inks. |
2016 |
Source Reduction:: W14: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers[-0-4%]
|

Source Reduction - The law changed to decrease the vapor pressure of cleaning solvents. We were too high with the current solvent and had to change. This eliminated the use of Toluene.
