Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - this product is critical to ensure the product performance is what the customer is expecting. |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Cannot replace monomer in production due to properties it provides. |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - This monomer gives our products specific needed properites |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Acrylonitrile is critical in the production of certain polymers. There is not substitution at this time. |

Barriers: B1-Other Environmental Practices B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat
|
Other Environmental Practices: B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat - Currently using product in drums but due to volume increase will be evaluating addition of bulk storage in 2016. This will decrease fugitive emissions. Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Method to wash lines after reaction has been modified so that less unreacted monomer is discharge to system. |

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Pollution prevention previously implemented-additonal reducion does not appear technically or economically feasible. |

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")
