Barriers: B1-Barriers to P2 B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat
Barriers: B2-Barriers to P2 B2 - Require technical information on pollution prevention techniques applicable to specific production processes. |
Barriers to P2: B2 - Require technical information on pollution prevention techniques applicable to specific production processes. - The ethanol industry is continually fluctuating and there isn't always the income to be able to use an engineering consulting firm to create additional environmental controls. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - The ethanol industry is continually fluctuating and there isn't always the income to be able to add extra environmental controls.

Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Switched from a product that had methanol to a product with none. This caused a slight reduction in methanol reporting. |

The Waste Management Hierarchy |
The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes.
The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed
by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.

- A breakdown of production-related waste managed. This includes all amounts of the chemical released directly to the environment or otherwise managed as waste, other than waste generated by one-time events not associated with normal production processes (e.g., fires or remedial actions).
- A production ratio or activity index to provide context for reported toxic chemical quantities. For example, if a chemical is used in the manufacture of refrigerators, the production index would track the number of refrigerators produced and could be used to help gauge how much of the chemical is being released per unit of production.
- Any newly implemented source reduction activities, reported using "W-codes" (e.g., "W41: Increased purity of raw materials")
