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 |
Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
Barriers: B4-Barriers to P2 B4 - Source reduction activities were implemented but were unsuccessful. |
Barriers to P2: B4 - Source reduction activities were implemented but were unsuccessful. - A production tank had been contaminated with the wrong material, resulting in a tank cleanout and decontamination. This created a larger increase in waste generated for this chemical during the 2022 year. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Diisocyanates are a primary component of manufacturing polyurethane. There is very little opportunity to reduce the source of utilization. Continue to look for sources of internal errors that might cause a source of waste. |

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")
