Source Reduction:: W64: Improved draining procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
W64: Reduced the amount of cleaning chemical waste from CIP Processes. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Alternatives have potentially harmful chemicals in them. Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Thorough cleaning is necessary in the beverage industry. Product safety levels must be maintained for consumable products |

Source Reduction:: W64: Improved draining procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
W64: Lessened amount of cleaning chemical waste from CIP Processes. Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - We look to improve efficiency of the usage, always trying to use less cleaning chemicals and still reach our sanitation standards. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Other compounds have worse chemicals in them Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - We required thorough cleaning and that is what this chemical is used for. |

Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
|
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Product that contains this reported chemical is a byproduct of Nitric Acid, and is used for sanitation of our manufacturing equipment to ensure our finished products are not contaminated with microorganisms. |

Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
|
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Product that contains this reported chemical, this being byproduct of Nitric Acid, is used for sanitation of our manufacturing equipment to ensure our products are not contaminated with micro, etc. |

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")
