Reporting for zinc at Coatings 85

Comparison of tracking and quantification.

REPORTING FOR ZINC AT COATINGS 85
	QUANTITY (Tonnes)			PERCENTAGE CHANGE
	2013	2014	CHANGE
ENTERS FACILITY - USE	100 - 1000	100 - 1000	10-100	INCREASE OF 16%
CREATION	0	0	0	n/a
CONTAINED IN PRODUCT	10 - 100	10 - 100	10-100	INCREASE OF 19%

 

Reasons for change – increase due to increased production.  

How the facility has reduced the amount of the substance that is used – quantity of the substance has not been reduced.  

How the facility has reduced the amount in product - quantity of the substance in product has not been reduced.

Timelines for reductions

·       Timelines for the reduction of zinc used in Mechanical Plating line have been met.  Practices were reviewed to ensure that the amount

zinc being deposited during mechanical plating operations have been minimized resulting in less zinc being on the product.

 

 

Reporting for hydrochloric acid at Coatings 85:

Comparison of tracking and quantification.

REPORTING FOR HYDROCHLORIC ACID AT COATINGS 85
	QUANTITY (Tonnes)			PERCENTAGE CHANGE
	2013	2014	CHANGE
ENTERS FACILITY - USE	100 - 1000	100 - 1000	10 - 100	INCREASE OF 12%
CREATION	0	0	0	n/a
CONTAINED IN PRODUCT	0	0	0	n/a

 

Reasons for change – increase due to increased production.  

How the facility has reduced the amount of the substance that is used – quantity of the substance has not been reduced.  

How the facility has reduced the amount in product – substance is not present in the product.

Timelines for reductions

·       Process changes required to achieve a 25% reduction in hydrochloric acid were determined.

·       Evaluation of the effect of making these process changes was conducted and the adverse effect on productivity made the implementation of these changes financially unfeasible.

 

 

Reporting for sulphuric acid at Coatings 85:

Comparison of tracking and quantification.

REPORTING FOR SULPHURIC ACID ATCOATINGS 85
	QUANTITY (Tonnes)			PERCENTAGE CHANGE
	2013	2014	CHANGE
ENTERS FACILITY - USE	1 - 10	1 - 10	1 - 10	DECREASE OF 72%
CREATION	0	0	0	n/a
CONTAINED IN PRODUCT	0	0	0	n/a

Reasons for change – sulphuric acid is being replaced with hydrochloric acid due to safety concerns with using sulphuric acid.

How the facility has reduced the amount of the substance that is used – replacement of sulphuric acid with hydrochloric acid.  

How the facility has reduced the amount in product – substance is not present in the product.

Timelines for reduction - no timelines were set for this substance

Reporting for hexavalent chromium Coatings 85:

 

Comparison of tracking and quantification.

 

REPORTING FOR HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM AT COATINGS 85
	QUANTITY (Tonnes)			PERCENTAGE CHANGE
	2013	2014	CHANGE
ENTERS FACILITY - USE	10 - 100	10 - 100	10 - 100	DECREASE OF 72%
CREATION	0	0	0	n/a
CONTAINED IN PRODUCT	1 -10	1 - 10	1 - 10	DECREASE OF 30%

 

 

Reasons for change – reduction in the use of hexavalent chromium as a results of less demand from customers.

How the facility has reduced the amount of the substance that is used – company has been successful in persuading customer to switch to less harmful materials

along with automotive industry restricting the use of this materials resulting in a decrease in the amount of hexavalent chromium being used.

How the facility has reduced the amount in product – company has been successful in persuading customer to switch to less harmful materials along with

automotive industry restricting the use of this materials resulting in a decrease in the amount of hexavalent chromium present in the product.

Timelines - no timelines were set for this substance.
