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:: S21: Optimized process conditions to increase efficiency[-0-4%]
Source Reduction:: S24: Modified or updated equipment or layout[-0-4%] |
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management

S21: Introduced new machinery and modified plant layout to increase efficiency and minimize scrap. S24: Introduced new machinery and modified plant layout to increase efficiency and minimize scrap. Source Reduction - Outside contractors helped move new/existing equipment, and repaired machinery. Source Reduction - Provided scope of work, held bi-weekly meetings, provided guidance to the outside contractors. Source Reduction - Outside contractors introduced new PLC and control programming to some of our machines. |

Source Reduction:: S35: Other improvements to inventory and material management[-5-14%]

S35: Implemented an ERP system to help with scheduling to increase efficiency while avoiding costly turnovers in-terms of the amount of scrap produced. It also helped allocate extra material for other orders that would have otherwise been scrapped. Source Reduction - Implemented an ERP system to help with scheduling to increase efficiency while avoiding costly turnovers in-terms of the amount of scrap produced.

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")
