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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 |
Source Reduction:: W50: Optimized reaction conditions or otherwise increased efficiency of synthesis
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
|
| 2018 |
Source Reduction:: W29: Other changes in inventory control
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B3-No Information B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. |
W29: Cleared inventory from 3rd party warehouses/tolling facilities to process at site owned warehouse. This resulted in more out of date material being disposed of off site. Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Catechol is used both as a product and raw material. While pollution prevention is practiced on site, an overall increase in catechol waste was seen in RY2018 due to the clearing of warehouse/tolling facilities and the removal of outdated/out of specification product. Material that could be reused was sold as product or reprocessed. |

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")
