Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.

Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - JM IS A CONTRACT PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING AND RESEARCH FIRM WHICH MANUFACTURES PRODUCTS ON A BATCH BASIS BY CLIENT. THE CLIENTS PROJECTS DICTATE THE CHEMICALS USED AND THE QUANTITIES. AS THESE PRODUCTS MAY BE IN FDA APPROVAL PROCESS OR ALREADY FDA APPROVED JM HAS LITTLE OPPORTUNITY TO ENCOURAGE LESS HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL SUBSTITUTIONS. WHEN POSSIBLE IN EARLY STAGES OF WORKING WITH NEW CLIENT, JM WILL OFFER TO OPTIMIZE PROCESS WHICHMAY RESULT IN LESS CHEMICALS USED OVERALL BY REDUCING NUMBER OF FILTRATIONS, WASHES, ETC. |

Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - JM waste vendors seek opportunities to dispose of hazardous waste through energy recovery options whenever possible. |

|
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - JM is a pharmaceutical contract manufacturing company which manufactures active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates for clients. Chemical usage is dependent upon the clients' project requirements and whether the API or intermediate is in the FDA phase approval process. Once a compound is in the FDA approval process, changes to chemicals are often disapproved by clients. Projects are completed in a batch process model and each client's project may require different chemicals and different amounts of chemicals. |

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The batch process and client project needs determine the chemcials used and the amounts. |

Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W58: The operations team will review the processes to determine where there are opportunities to reduce or reuse solvents. Source Reduction - The processes are reviewed to determine if the distillates can be reused to further process materials or if the distillates can be used for cleaning. This reduces the need for virgin solvent. Whether this can be done is contingent upon the processes and if the client permits this activity. |
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")
