Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
|
Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - Material is core performance component for final product. Substitution of material would have a direct impact on the effectiveness of the product. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - The facility will continue efforts of further consolidation of material to be sent for offsite recovery/recycling. |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - The site manufactures specific products that use the subject chemical. No known substitution is readily available for the process/product. |

W19: The facility is implementing the Honeywell Operating System to aid in lean manufacturing. As such, the facility is continuously looking for improved practices to reduce waste. Source Reduction - The facility conducts biannual inventory counts. These are physical inventory counts that allow for a better examination of the material and identification of potential source reduction through process improvements. |

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")
