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:: S41: Improved scheduling, record keeping, or procedures for operations, cleaning, and maintenance
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
Barriers: B1-Barriers to P2 B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat |
S41: Corporate goals to reduce % of waste materials to landfill. Form R chemicals inhierant to raw material stream. Keeping raw material stream out of landfills will reduce Form R chemical to environment. Barriers to P2: B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat - Additional plastics screening/cleaning equipment and techniques required to remove remaining wood fiber (which contains trace quantities of Form R chemicals) from reject stream bound for landfill. |

Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - No known industry methods or processes available to separate these materials. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Contaminant low concentration and forms (compounds) are integral to our raw material stream. This stream is simply mechanically processed, not chemically, and is therefore not chemically altered. |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Lead in ppm quantities is found throughout the biosphere and gets incorporated into all living material. Papermaking takes it's raw material from recycled wood fiber. Methods to extract the 3 - 4 ppm of lead would completely destroy the fiber, making it unusable for paper production. |

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")
