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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 |
Source Reduction:: W50: Optimized reaction conditions or otherwise increased efficiency of synthesis[-15-24%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) |
W50: Improved rerun system, reduced the amount of times a part gets clear coat on it. Source Reduction - Employees from throughout facility had input on rerun system. Source Reduction - Kaizen analysis of process. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Send flush solvents off site to be reclaimed |
| 2018 |
Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
|
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Color change solvents are recycled. Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - Manufacturer has improved paint in the past. Further improvements are not technically feasible. |
|
| 2017 |
Barriers: B1-Barriers to P2 B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat
|
Barriers to P2: B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat - Reduced VOC surface coating material would be too expensive and reduce companies ability to be competitive in the global economy. |
|
| 2016 |
Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management |
W52: PAINT BOOTH TO SPOT REPAIR DEFECTS Source Reduction - TEAM IMPLEMENTED PROJECT Source Reduction - VENDOR HELP DESIGN BOOTH LAYOUT |
| 2015 |
Barriers: B2-Barriers to P2 B2 - Require technical information on pollution prevention techniques applicable to specific production processes.
|
Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Reduce paint usage through team management and better preventive maintenance. Barriers to P2: B2 - Require technical information on pollution prevention techniques applicable to specific production processes. - Major component of paint formulation |
|
| 2014 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Increase paint usage is due to quality defect, dirt in the paint process. Efforts to gain control over the dirt problem have been unsuccessful to date. Dirt problems have resulted in rework and scrap of finished product. Efforts to eliminate the dirt problem are ongoing. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Currently recycle paint line flush solvent approximately 20,000 gallons per year. |

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")
