Source Reduction - The overall release amounts are based on inventory right offs, however, July 2009 Airgas Refrigertants implemented a new inventory control system that is already being used at other facilities in order to track inventory in a more efficient manner than was previously in place. Our belief is that the actual right offs are a result of overstated inventory originally that never was there. However we did report the amounts as factual. |
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.
