Waste Management Comparison - 2014
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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 |
Source Reduction:: S35: Other improvements to inventory and material management[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S35: clean and remove dirt and other debris from wood prior to being introduced into the treating process. Thereby reducing the dirt and debris from entering the treating process Source Reduction - Continuous training of the management team and other team members to monitor and improve activities to reduce dirt and debris from entering the treating process |
| 2021 |
Source Reduction:: S35: Other improvements to inventory and material management[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S35: Clean dirt and debris from wood products prior to being introduced into treating process. Thereby reducing the overall dirt and debris collected as waste. Source Reduction - Improve the training of the management team and the other team members to monitor and improve the activities to reduce dirt and debris from entering the treating process. |
| 2020 |
Source Reduction:: W78: Other surface preparation and finishing modifications

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W78: clean product of dirt and debris before it enters the treating process Source Reduction - work with team members to help prevent dirt and debris from entering the treating process |
| 2019 |
Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) |
W19: Laying out wood prior to treatment process to remove dirt and debris from entering system and becoming waste Source Reduction - Work with team members to identify methods to reduce waste Source Reduction - monitor monthly the waste generated and the sources Source Reduction - build team to increase participation by each member to increase production efficiencies and reduce waste |

W19: reduce dirt and material introduced into treating process by rinsing materials or by building better ramps in storage yard Source Reduction - build a team to increase participation of each member to improve production efficiencies and reduce waste Source Reduction - renew focus by management to insure all personnel are focused on the reduction of waste |
| 2015 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) |
Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - The Management team is actively trying to reduce the amount of dirt and debris that enters into the treating system. We meet quarterly to monitor our progress |

Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) |
Source Reduction - T05 We challenge our employee to find new methods to reduce dirt and debris from entering the treating system. We will have quarterly meetings to monitor our progress Source Reduction - T04 We are managing the facility to minimize the amount of dirt and debris that is introduced into the treating system. We meet quarterly to monitor our progress. |
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")
