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 |
Source Reduction:: S23: Implemented new technology, technique, or process
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S23: Upgrades were instituted in our wastewater treatment plant in 2020 which increased efficiency Source Reduction - We have implemented a robust recycling program that is helping eliminate waste Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We have implemented a robust recycling program |
| 2020 |
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Currently have a formal recycling process in place to minimize landfill depletion |
||
| 2019 |
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - We are currently working to improve the functionality and efficiency of our wastewater treatment operations. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Currently have an formal recycling effort in place to minimize landfill depletion. |
||
| 2018 |
Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - We have spent approximately $70,000 on wastewater improvements in 2018. Deepening on performance, more money may be spent in 2019. |
||
| 2017 |
Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - We are in the process up updating the technology at our wastewater treatment plant,. While we do not viable alternative to the raw material that we use, we are in the process of improvement our ability to treat waste water. |

| 2016 |
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - With our current pretreat process there are no known substitutes that will do the intended job of the current chemical that we use. |

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")
