| 2008 | Source Reduction - We continue to train our employees to be certified composites technicians through our industry organization: american composites manufacturers association. This certification gives the employee an understanding of controlled spraying techniques, among many other things, which will reduce waste and overspray, reducing emissions. We are just about half way through successfull certification of our employees. In late 2008 we switched to a new gelcoat that is 19 percent lower in styrene resulting in a 5 percent decrease in overall emissions had we used it for all of 2008. | ||
| 2007 | Source Reduction - We are training our employees to be certified composites technicians through our industry organization: american composites manufacturers association. This certification gives the employee an understanding of controlled spraying techniques, among many other things, which will reduce waste and overspray, reducing emissions. We are just about half way through successfull certification of our employees. | ||
| 2006 | Source Reduction - We are training our employees to be Certified Composites Technicians through our industry organization: American Composites Manufacturers Association. This certification gives the employee an understanding of controlled spraying techniques, among many other things, which will reduce waste and overspray, reducing emissions. We are just about half way through successfull certification of our employees. | ||
| 2005 | Source Reduction - 2 years ago we replaced our mechanical atomized spray up equipment to mechanical non-atomized spray up equipment. |
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")
