S14: In 2023, CS WIND is evaluating ways to improve its waste reclamation process and capture more paint from the process. This will eliminate waste paint which includes raw paint material as well as solvents used in the cleaning process thereby reducing the amount of toxic chemicals being generated and disposed of Source Reduction - Looking for opportunities to recycle/reclaim material rather than have it disposed of Source Reduction - Integrating other departments for feedback with respects to substituting toxic chemicals and moving towards non-hazardous constituents without impacting the quality of our product Source Reduction - Using applicable stakeholder from: engineering, production and HSE we are evaluating improved process opportunities to use more paint prior to it settling and becoming a waste Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Evaluating various methods and improvements for tracking and reporting which will help us to gauge our waste as a percent of raw materials |
| 2020 |
Source Reduction:: W36: Implemented inspection or monitoring program of potential spill or leak sources
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
|
W36: Dedicated day shift and night shift paint pump technicians to ensure pumps are operating effectively and not leaking. Also on site to ensure if there is a leak, it is stopped immediately. |
| 2019 |
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - HSE is continually searching for ways to reduce waste and consumption (where applicable) |

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other |
W19: Modifications to the paint spray system to improve transfer efficiency and reduce the amount of consumption and waste. Major reductions in the amount of bypass time used which lessened the amount of emissions through point source discharges. Source Reduction - Logging of paint consumption and review of trends concerning paint data. Source Reduction - Surface Treatment Manager requested participation from all applicable stakeholders to devise new ways of improving transfer efficiency and reducing waste Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - HSE is continually searching for ways to reduce waste and consumption (where applicable). |

Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s) |
W13: Better oversight from management to ensure operators are not wasting paint product. Line walks and waste metrics will help us to gauge how much paint is wasted and being expended over the necessary amounts. Source Reduction - Vigilant oversight from QSE Source Reduction - Managers should train floormen in procedures that will help them to monitor waste generation. |

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")
