Reporting Year | Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity | Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity | Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information* |
---|---|---|---|
2022 |
Source Reduction:: S05: Modified content, grade, or purity of a chemical input[-15-24%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
S05: Waste reformulation for use elsewhere in the plant Source Reduction - Vendor is working with us to take the waste and recycle/reformulate it to work on other machines. |
2021 |
Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Cross functional Teams - Production and Engineering |
2020 |
Source Reduction:: W78: Other surface preparation and finishing modifications[-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. |
W78: Production was down in most sections of production due to COVID-19 Source Reduction - Cross functional team of Production and Engineering Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - HF is necessary for acid etching of aluminum |

Source Reduction:: W78: Other surface preparation and finishing modifications
|
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. |
W78: In 2019, we changed another one of our four surface treatment machines to a new chemical process for surface etching. The new process resulted in more stable baths which reduced chemical usage due to less bath dumps required.

W78: In 2017, we changed one more of our four surface treatment machines changed to a new chemical process for surface etching. The new process resulted in more consistent coating weights which reduced scrap (thereby reducing chemical usage due to less production required). Additionally, the new chemical process is more stable in the bath, reducing the number of bath dumps required. This also resulted in less chemical usage needed to make up the new baths (chemicals last longer). Source Reduction - Profitability Achievement Teams |

Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) |
W58: Process modifications are made daily to reduce scrap and come from multiple sources. Production areas have scrap reduction targets, thus reducing HF usage. Source Reduction - Recommendations through on the job work. Source Reduction - Kaizen teams, mini quality circles, Profitability Achievement Teams |
