Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We are continually looking for recycling outlets for our scrap to reduce the amount sent to the landfill. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Although rubber/tire designers are working to make our rubber mixes safer for the environment as of yet they have not found an acceptable product that does not contain zinc. |

Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We are currently working with a potential recycler for the waste product |

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")
