Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Numerous discussions with upper management along with our vendors to find a product substitution for non-toxic/less toxic inputs along with the re-design of the end product. At this time there is no viable alternative substitution that would allow us to achieve the desired end. Diffusion dialysis may be feasible after a detailed evaluation also if it were to work as the technology is questionable. Projected payback is too long for serious consideration. In conclusion APL will reduce the waste stream by means of a business decision to reduce this product due to declining sales year after year. |

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")
