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* |
---|---|---|---|
2022 |
Source Reduction:: S41: Improved scheduling, record keeping, or procedures for operations, cleaning, and maintenance[-25-49%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
|
S41: We were able to optimize the change out schedule of our raw materials resulting in a 40% decrease in waste and raw chemical usage despite a 20% increase in production. Source Reduction - This was the direct result of an employees black belt project at the encouragement of his management team and the EHS department. |
2021 |
Source Reduction:: S42: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and material changeovers
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
|
S42: This occurred late in 2021 so changes will be reflected in the 2022 TRI. Source Reduction - This was a Black Belt project performed by one of our technicians that looked at our current change out schedule and ways no extend the usable life of the effluent. |
2020 |
Source Reduction:: W32: Improved procedures for loading, unloading, and transfer operations
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
W32: Added an autofill and drain system to eliminate potential transfer issues and decrease raw material hang-up in product drums. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - While there is no current market to reclaim the glycol in the material we continue to explore options in the hopes of finding a viable outlet. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - We are currently exploring the proper timing of our bath change outs in an attempt to reduce the raw material used which will in turn reduce our usage and chemical waste. |
