|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 |
Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Waste from the site is disposed of off-site using energy recovery processes Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - The site continues to recycle solvents for use on-site Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - A high efficiency Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer was installed in 2015 to reduce stack emissions |

| 2021 |
Source Reduction - The site has instituted Zero Waste to Landfill for all hazardous and non-hazardous wasteThe site has reduced the number of off-specification batches produced thus reducing overall waste
Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Waste from the site is disposed of off-site using energy recovery processes Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - The site continues to recycle solvents for use on-site |

W29: Inventory on hand reductions - Maintaining lower inventory quantities on site. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - A Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer was installed to reduce stack emissions and was in use for full year 2015. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Continue recycling of solvents for use on-site. |

Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - A new Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer was installed in August of 2014 and will reduce stack air emissions. |
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")
