Waste Management Comparison - 2021
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 - Our discharges are directly proportional to our annual production and our owners do not want to change this. |
||
| 2021 |
Source Reduction:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S21: BY REDUCING SCRAP WE CAN MELT LESS METAL |
| 2020 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Entirely based on production volume |
||
| 2019 |
Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
|
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - All scrap (waste) is recycled either on-site or off-site Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - The amount of metal recycled depends directly on the production volume of castings. |

| 2018 |
Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
|
Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - This is based entirely on the amount of aluminum we cast each year, the only way to reduce is to cut production, which our shareholders aren't interested in |
|
| 2017 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Copper is an element in aluminum alloys, the amount of copper handled is directly related to production level. We recycle every scrap. |
||
| 2016 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The amount of copper emitted is linear with production volume. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Shiloh Industries Pierceton recycles all clean aluminum scrap on-site, machining chips and dross are recycled offsite. |
||
| 2014 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The copper that Shiloh industries uses is an alloying element in the aluminum we cast. Everything gets recycled, the only way to reduce the amount waste is to reduce production. |
||
| 2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - emissions based on published emission factor & amount of aluminum processed, only reduction possible is to reduce our core business. There isn't much management support for going out of business as a source reduction |
||
| 2012 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Every last scrap of aluminum is already recycled, copper is part of the alloy |
||
| 2006 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management

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")
