1. Auto Body and Paint Shops Pollution Prevention and Best Management Practices

2. Pollution Prevention in Shops Make simple changes in work practices to Reduce environmental impacts Improve shop efficiency Reduce operating costs Improve work place health and safety

3. Waste Streams Solvent and paint Still bottoms from solvent recycling Sanding dust Surface cleaners, wipes and rags Wash water Wet sanding sludge Paint booth filters Filters from spray gun cleaning Automotive fluids- oil, coolant Used containers BatteriesRefrigerant

4. Pollution Prevention Source reduction increase Transfer Efficiency of coating application increase Transfer Efficiency of coating application 2 stage cleaning 2 stage cleaning source segregation- hazardous sanding waste separated from floor and car cleaning dirt and debris source segregation- hazardous sanding waste separated from floor and car cleaning dirt and debris Material substitution low hazard surface cleaners low hazard surface cleaners waterborne coatings waterborne coatings water-based or lower toxicity paint gun cleaners water-based or lower toxicity paint gun cleanersReuse on-site solvent recycling on-site solvent recycling mixed paint mixed paint

5. Pollution Prevention Work practices job planning and scheduling job planning and scheduling training training Process changes vacuum sanding vacuum sanding Resource conservation minimize water use minimize water use Consider multi-media impacts re-using mixed paint, air emissions vs. hazardous waste re-using mixed paint, air emissions vs. hazardous waste
