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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 |
Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials[-25-49%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T02: External pollution prevention opportunity audit(s) |
W42: Production is moving toward non-lead solder processes; however the repairs to old product still require maintaining a lead-solder process. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Manufacturing processes for new products built will be designed with lead-free components. |
| 2015 |
Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials[-15-24%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Current efforts underway to replace Lead in manufacturing process with Lead-Free substituted chemicals. |
| 2014 |
Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials[-15-24%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W42: Production is phasing out lead solder in manufacturing process and replacing raw component to a lead-free solder |
| 2013 |
Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W42: Production is phasing Lead-Free Wave Solder into use for new boards built. |
| 2012 |
Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W42: Production is newly implementing a Tin-Based Wave Solder Production Line to phase out the Lead/Tin Wave Solder Application and Reduce Overall Lead-based components in Manufacturing. |
| 2001 |

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")
