Source Reduction - In calendar year 2012, JCI plans to install phase one of a new oxide transfer system that will lessen our dependancy on purchasing oxide as well as bring to our facility a newer option for handling and distributing the oxide for battery manufacturing. This new phase will also lessen the potential for spills of oxide both inside and outside the plant. Our continuous improvement department implemented a new process of drossing on our strip caster that puts more lead back into the system for recycling rather than sending to the smelter for reclaim. |

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")
