Source Reduction - The effort was to plan to scrap less of th product by tightening our control of cut lengths both for sold product and for quality check samples. Example: Instead of cutting 2 feet of cable to test, can we use 10 inches. OR If we need 2000 feet of cable and we can control the length to a higher degree, we don't have to make 2100 just to be sure to get 2000 feet. |
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.
