Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance |
Source Reduction - 1) Production scheduling changes due to ramping up new product lines that take less raw materials and are more efficient. this requires moving production volumes from older lines to newer line. 2) Adding new technology that helped reduced scrap levels on older lines. |
| 2008 |
Source Reduction:: W32: Improved procedures for loading, unloading, and transfer operations
Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping |
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)

Source Reduction - Chemical transfer tailings used to designated as hazardous waste, but now is re-Blended back with bulk chemical in the primary holding tank and for process use. This should eliminate off-Site transfers for hazardous waste incineration unless a catistrophic event occurs that could create this type of chemical waste |

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")
