Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
|
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - This product works very well to remove defects without damaging the product. Drys quickly and is non-flammable. |

Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - product is used to quickly clean defects off of our finished product. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - we have tried other solvents but they were flammable... |

Source Reduction:: W71: Other cleaning and degreasing modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
W71: we worked on solutions to prevent the need for cleaning the product. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Alternative product which will clean quickly and not hurt the product nor emloyees and be non-flammable has not been identified yet. |
| 2016 |
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - We use this chemical because it is non-flammable. We have tried alternatives, They tend to either be flammable and/or damage our product. |

| 2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - began using a new product which has a higher % trichloroethylene per can...also production/sales were up. |
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")
