Waste Management Comparison - 2019
Pollution Prevention Activities for Selected Chemical
| Reporting Year | Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity | Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity | Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 |
Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
|
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Recycle and reuse Xylene as practical Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - Xylene is used as a diluent, and no known alternative exists which would not adversely affect product quality. |
|
| 2016 |
Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
|
Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Currently Recover solvents, which saves a lot of solvent waste being disposed of. |
|
| 2014 |
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Continued recycling of Xylene for 2014 |
||
| 2013 |
Source Reduction:: W55: Changed from small volume containers to bulk containers to minimize discarding
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
W55: Began storing certain hazardous products in reusable 275 totes rather than single use 55 gal drums. Other Environmental Practices - Sunbelt Corporation has continued pollution prevention activities from prior years in RY2013. These include such items as recycling of spent solvents to reduce the amount to be disposed of as waste. |
| 2012 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Source reduction activities started in previous years were continued for RY 2012. |

| 2011 |
Source Reduction:: W55: Changed from small volume containers to bulk containers to minimize discarding
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
|
|
| 2010 |
Source Reduction:: W36: Implemented inspection or monitoring program of potential spill or leak sources
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
Source Reduction - Implemented scheduled inspections of spill control equipment and devices. Implemented scheduled inspections of spill containment structures and dikes. |
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")
