Source Reduction: Source Reduction - We utilize various air pollution control devices with removal efficiencies up to 100%, such as emission condensers and scrubbers. |
||
2015 | Barriers to P2 - Because AMPAC is a contract manufacturer, all usages are based on orders from customers, therefore recycling is a major challenge in California that requires approval from multiple agencies. | ||

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.
