Waste Management Comparison - 2022
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:: S02: Substituted an organic solvent[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B3-No Information B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
|
| 2016 |
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: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - We are using electronic grade solvent Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Working on increasing yield of product at this time. |

| 2015 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Increased product yield and efficiency of the process including extending the preventive maintenance of the equipment which results in less waste and more efficient use of raw materials. Source Reduction: Recycling - waste goes off site to be recycled as technical grade product and is purchased by other manufacturers for commercial use Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Less solvent is used per product produced in 2015 versus 2014 |
| 2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Skyworks changed to a new product in 2013. The new product uses more NMP per piece that the old product. This year in 2014 we are rampng up production and once we are at the plateau, we will heva the opportunity to evaluate source reduction opportunities and become more efficient with the NMP solvent usage. |

Source Reduction:: W59: Modified stripping/cleaning equipment
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)

| 2005 |
Source Reduction:: W14: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers

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")
