W29: Reduced acceptance of materials received for recycling which had with variances outside of our final product range. This is the primary reason for the production ratio of 0.61 for the calendar year of 2012. W39: Installed dust collection screens in our final product blending building. W52: New dispersion techniques including longer dispersion times, higher heat for reaction, and more rapid dispersion for greater solution agitation, resulted in an increase of hydrochemical reaction efficiency. |

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.
