Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The types of releases were not adequately identified or quantified. All values given in this submission were based on assumptions through 20+ years of experience, so the release values given in this report may be overstated. While we feel air releases are minimal due to a closed system, we will immediately begin collecting data on wastewater effluent, as well as the solid waste generated after passing through the entire process. Although we do not expect to see any significant releases in any media, the data is needed to more accurately reflect the processing of this substance. |

TRI Pollution Prevention Glossary
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")
