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 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - 2022 end of year slowed down. Material substitutions had already been made previously but supply demand limited alternative products for reductions. |

| 2021 |
Source Reduction:: S33: Improved containment or material handling operations
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance |
Source Reduction - Installed scales to weigh raw materials for more consistent part weights Source Reduction - Vendors continue to provide assistance in using lower styrene HAP containing products |
| 2020 |
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - We utilize FLow Coat technology along with reduced styrene contents already in our products and haven't found any additional technology that is economically feasible or technically feasible without compromising the current structure of the component parts. So we currently use better inventory practices, supplier assistance for raw content reductions and controlled spray training to help eliminate 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")
