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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 |
Source Reduction:: S13: Modified product packaging
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
S13: Product containing benzyl peroxide is mostly produced and prepackaged and labeled prior to being received in house for re sale . We do very little repackaging. Source Reduction - production and packaging and labeling is outsourced with very little repacking done within our production/processing area.. |
| 2020 |
Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices[-25-49%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W19: All clean up in the repackaging department requires sweeping prior to wash down- reducing the amount of product that goes down the drain. Other Environmental Practices - Stopped all start to finish production and now import product and perform repackaging process only so no recycling of bag house waste is recycled |
| 2019 |
Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W19: Stopped all start to finish production and now import product and perform repackaging process only |
| 2018 |
Source Reduction:: W15: Introduced an in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - transition from producing benzoyl peroxide to repackaging from imported product. . another sourse |
| 2017 |
Source Reduction:: W15: Introduced an in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
Source Reduction - Using team management to develop potential new operations equipement |
| 2016 |
Source Reduction:: W15: Introduced an in-line product quality monitoring or other process analysis system
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other

Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W13: The preventive maintenance schedule regarding process equipment which tied to this chemical was enhanced. |
| 1991 | Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping |

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")
