Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Styrene is critical to the performance of the polymer made so it cannot be replaced. Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - The percentage of Styrene is optimized to each batch and cannot be changed. |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Styrene is a critical monomer for the products produced, no known substitute available. |
|
2018 |
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Styrene gives products specific properties, not substitute known |
|

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Other Environmental Practices - Current control devise was the best available when purchases when new unit is needed it will be updated to be more efficient.
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Styrene is critical to the end properties of the formulation's , no substitute found at this time. |

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.
