Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Our manufacturing process utilizes a carbon bed adsorption system and associated reclaim/recycle system to minimize toluene VOC emissions. The carbon in the carbon bed adsorption system is periodically tested for its activity level and physical breakdown analysis to evaluate the aging of the carbon. This data is used to determine appropriate timing for proactive replacement of the carbon, thus maintaining reclaim system performance. |

W58: Replaced carbon in carbon beds of Solvent Recovery System. Source Reduction - Decision to replace carbon in SRS carbon beds was a result of routine carbon age tracking and carbon activity level testing. Even though carbon activity level was good, it was determine that due to the age of the carbon, we would proactively change it out.

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.
