S14: In 2023, CS WIND is evaluating ways to improve its waste reclamation process, and capture more paint from the process. This will eliminate waste paint which includes raw paint material, as well as, other solvents used in the cleaning process thereby reducing the amount of toxic chemical being generated and disposed of. Source Reduction - integrating other departments for feedback with respects to substituting toxic chemicals and moving towards non-hazardous constituents without impacting the quality of our product Source Reduction - Using applicable stakeholders from: engineering, production and HSE we are evaluating improved process opportunities that will help us to use more paint prior to it settling and becoming a waste Source Reduction - Looking for opportunities to recycle/reclaim material rather than having it disposed of. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Seeking opportunities to recycle waste materials. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Evaluating a different container that will allow us to pump more material out of our container than we are able to do currently. The material that cannot be pumped out is disposed of at an off-site facility. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Improved tracking and reporting systems enable us to measure how much waste material is being disposed of as a percent of raw material. |

W19: Modifications to the paint spray system to improve transfer efficiency and reduce the amount of consumption and waste. Major reductions in the amount of bypass time used which lessened the amount of emissions through point source discharges. Source Reduction - Logging of paint consumption and review of trends concerning paint data. Source Reduction - Surface Treatment Manager requested participation from all applicable stakeholders to devise new ways of improving transfer efficiency and reducing waste. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - HSE is continually searching for ways to reduce waste and consumption (where applicable). |

W19: Less rework for failed sections will equate to less usage of paint (ethylbenzene). Quality has improved, which will translate into less reworks. Source Reduction - Better oversight from EHS will help to gauge our total usage of paint, which will serve as a metric to monitor usage and paint waste. Source Reduction - Utilisation of PWI's, management oversight, and process improvement. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Through the application of new products, training, and source reduction methods, Vestas Towers is continually seeking ways to reduce waste and cut overall material usage. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - EHS at Vestas Towers has been integral in maintaining oversight of the waste areas. By determining the amount of paint used each month, Vestas is able to track continual usage of their paint products, waste, as well as implement changes as needed. |
