Source Reduction:: S35: Other improvements to inventory and material management[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
|
S35: Our facility is storing less safety stock onsite for emergency use. This is to ensure reduced outdated product. Source Reduction - Daily monitoring of production chemical amounts |
| 2019 |
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 becomes waste is produced by flushing the chemical transfer tanks for periodic cleaningConcern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |

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 - Waste is generated during flush of chemical tank. This is done when there are production issues or during preventative maintenance. It is a necessary part of the 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.

- 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")
