Greening Your Practices An overview for reducing emissions and saving dollars

Pollution Prevention (P2) P2 act of 1990 - Shifted the focus from “end-of-pipe” pollution treatment and cleanup, to policies, technologies, and processes which prevent and minimize the generation of pollution

Greening Your Practices Pollution Prevention or source reduction – reducing at the source always preferred. Three primary focuses today Change the process Change the technology Change the material

Kansas Best of the Best Past projects capture savings Emissions Reductions 21.5 tons VOCs 9.6 tons HAPS 17 tons hazardous waste $70,000 annually saved

Change the Process Inventory control processes Pre-determined or metered solvent use Pre-sat wipes Ordering paint processes by color Dedicated paint booths

Change the Technology Spray guns to increase transfer efficiency, reduce overspray, save raw material and $$ Distillation

Change the Material Switch to a less hazardous or non-hazardous solvent that will perform according to your needs Define your needs How clean is clean? How do you select these alternatives?
