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 - The small amount of this comes from washing the transfer valve when we repackage. |
|
2017 |
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Transfer filling of smaller drums from IBC's necessarily requires use of equipment such as funnels. These need maintenance (washing) to keep product quality. |

Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Repackaging of product by gravity feed from vendor's container allows minimization of waste. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - The procedure of taking product in IBC's (Totes) and repackaging by filling smaller containers (a handful of drums and totes) is the least handling and loss we have found. We do not formulate a product with this material. Simple re-packaging of a small amount over the course of a year. |
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.
