Tonovitz, M A

A pilot process waste assessment (PWA) was conducted on stamping product and related documents using guidance for PWAs supplied by Environment, Safety and Health (ES&H). A team was formed and a process selected. Then a flow diagram for the process was constructed. Upon completion, a mass balance was conducted to determine the quantity of incoming material and where it was going during and after the process. Upon completion of the mass balance, waste minimization options were identified to reduce or eliminate the quantity of hazardous ink used. The last item investigated was the emission and waste stream information for regulatory reporting requirements.
