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 |
Source Reduction:: S42: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and material changeovers[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S42: fewer panels made Source Reduction - use less, less scrap |
| 2019 |
Source Reduction:: W89: Other product modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
W89: used less lead, more gold or silver Source Reduction - different finishes than lead |
| 2017 |
Source Reduction:: W42: Substituted raw materials
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W42: used alternative metal when possible( nickel/gold or silver) Source Reduction - use less lead with lower production levels. |
| 2016 |
Source Reduction:: W78: Other surface preparation and finishing modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W78: Whenever possible, we use non-lead finish surfaces Source Reduction - We offer the use of non lead materials so our customers can attest that their products do not contain lead. |
| 2015 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Some circuit board designs require lead finish. wnenever possible we use non lead finishes. |
||
| 2014 |
Source Reduction: Source Reduction - We are continuing to offer alternative finishes: silver, ENIG and tin final, this reduces use of lead solder finish on circuit boards. More and more customers are requesting alternates to lead finish for their circuit boards. |
||
| 2013 |
Source Reduction:: W84: Developed a new chemical product to replace previous chemical product
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
Source Reduction - Continue to use less lead in building circuit boards as customer spec out non lead finishes for their boards. |
| 2012 |
Source Reduction:: W84: Developed a new chemical product to replace previous chemical product
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W84: Due to environmental regulations prohibiting lead in circuit boards, other finishes are being used thus reducing the use of lead in our manufacturing processes. Source Reduction - Other surface finishes besides solder with lead are being used due to customer design requests. Customers are requesting circuit boards with no lead so they comply with environmental regulations in Europe. |
| 2003 |
Source Reduction:: W73: Substituted coating materials used
Source Reduction:: W82: Modified design or composition of product |

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")
