Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
S14: Customer product mix is changing from leaded to lead free. Seeing reduction in volumes for customers in the A&D sector at this site that require Lead solder. Most new business is now using lead free solder. Legacy products are waning. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Customer design constraints regarding products in the Aerospace/Space sectors. These industries are not yet willing to move to lead free designs in totality. |

|
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Military and Aerospace customers do not yet believe that there is sufficient evidence to change to lead free processing. Our customers own the designs and must approve of these process changes. |

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. - Servicing customers in the military, aviation, defense industry who are reluctant to move away from lead based processes. Existing/historical designs are not being changed. |

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")
