Source Reduction - Worked with vendor to re-use material. Re-used as ingots or rounds
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - material sent out for recycling |
| 2017 |
Source Reduction:: W49: Other raw material modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
W49: Worked with vendor to used recycled material to deli deliver material with specific chemistry requested. Source Reduction - Worked with vendors to establish ingots / rounds to try and reduce raw crudes. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Material sent out for recycling from dust collectors, floor sweepings to be reused. |
| 2016 |
Source Reduction:: W49: Other raw material modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
W49: All waste is now recycled and reused from dust collectors, sweepings, etc. Source Reduction - Vendor can now recycle more materials Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Material sent out for recycling. |
| 2014 |
Source Reduction:: W15: Introduced an in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Source Reduction - Reducing off quality issues in production |
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")
