Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s) |
W13: CONTINUE RECYCLING OF ALL METALS FROM THE SITE. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - CONTINUE TO IMPROVE ON OUR RECYCLING IN EFFORT TO ACHIEVE GOAL OF ZERO WASTE TO LANDFILL. |

Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W13: Improved use of current preventive maintenance system. Machines are cleaned and serviced more frequently to help them become more efficient. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Continue recycling all plastics, paper, cardboard, misc. metals, aluminum. Also capture used oil and send off for recycling. |

|
W13: Implemented better usage of electronic maintenance system to optimize scheduling repairs and changeovers. This in turn also improved record keeping and reduced the amount of changeovers. Source Reduction - Formal audits are performed monthly and informal audits such as employees noticing leaks or airborne issues or management performing daily walkthroughs to inspect all areas of the facility. |

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")
