Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - No technically feasible substitutes |
|
| 2016 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The products are manufactured based on demand. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - During the production process, strict procedures are in place to collect all the Lead waste including rinse water from glassware for proper disposal. |

| 2014 |
Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials[-25-49%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
Other Environmental Practices - Planned substitute Lead usage in 2015 on one of the processes
Source Reduction: Source Reduction - With better inventory management tools, the products are purchased/manufactured based on demand thus generation of any waste materials is minimized |

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
Source Reduction - Better demad forecasting tools Source Reduction - With better inventory management tools, the products are purchased/manufactured based on demand thus generation of any waste materials is going to be minimized. |
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")
