2009			Source Reduction - As part of our MACT Standard for Composites Manufacturing, we implement the usage of low styrene-containing resin and gel chemicals used in our steps production to comply with the standard. Therefore we are always looking for non-HAP's or low HAP-containing chemicals that can still help our processing. As chemical manufacturers evolve with non-HAP chemicals for our processes, we substitute these for higher HAP ones, thus reducing our pollution sources. We also look for recycling opportunities for our waste streams instead of other polluting treatments.
2008			Source Reduction - Reduced styrene content in our gelcoat raw material in 2007 and used that same lowere styrene containing gelcoat throughout 2008. No changes in resin usage have taken place, since we are using the lowest styrene content resin, as per what our current supplier carries for our process.

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.

Source Reduction includes activities that eliminate or reduce the generation of chemical waste.
Recycling includes the recovery of a toxic chemical in waste for reuse.
Energy Recovery includes the combustion of toxic chemicals in waste to generate heat or electricity.
Treatment includes the destruction of a toxic chemical in waste.
Disposal or Other Releases includes toxic chemical quantities entering the environment.

The PPA requires facilities to provide the following details about each chemical they report to TRI:

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")

Facilities may also provide optional Pollution Prevention Information describing their source reduction, recycling, or pollution control activities.
