|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 |
Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S21: more efficient recirculation lines and conservation vents Source Reduction - Design meetings with engineering to identify and implement emission reduction prodjects. |
| 2021 |
Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S21: Switched cooling methods to be more efficient. More material was used but emissions were drastically reduced. |
| 2019 |
Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W19: Identified opportunities to fuel blend waste. This was important due to the increase in waste from not being able to reuse flush material due to quality issues. Source Reduction - Continuous improvement. |

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")
