P2 Concepts
equipment or technology modifications
source reduction
determine risks (environmental) and manage those risk
risk management
pH adjustment is often used to cause precipitation
treatment technology
critical evaluation of products, services and processes that move an organization towards procurement decisions that provide best value with lowest environmental and social impacts
sustainable purchasing
BOD5
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (5 day)
better inventory control
administrative controls
wastewater discharge limits (NPDES permit), remediation limits, NAAQS
examples of risk management
(1) switch to low sulfur fuels or convert to synthetic fuels (processed), (2) absorption, (3) adsorption
SOx control technologies
social, economics, environment
sustainability
exploit, share, enhance
strategies for positive risk or opportunities
the 1970's regulatory focus
end-of-pipe solutions
scientific factors, economic factors, laws and legal decisions, social factors, technological factors, political factors, public values
risk management factors (EPA)
a thermal oxidizer can control VOCs (i.e., True/False)
True
contractor safety requirements are not related to sustainability (True/False)
False
source reduction, recycling, treatment, disposal
P2 hierarchy
"in the 1980's we became more aware of how persistent our waste problems can be because of"
analytical methods of detection
income level, ethnic background, community values, land use
social factors
CEMS
Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems
campus events which represent wise stewardship of resources, prudent financial planning and environmentally responsible operations
sustainable event (certification
modify product to avoid solvent use
source reduction
I can be a problem because of handling, energy use, reprocessing, supply and demand, and cost benefit
recycling
possibility of loss or injury
risk
nutrients, pathogens, oxygen-demanding substances
wastewater pollutants
disclosing information covering an organization's operations and risks in: environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and corporate governance
ESG reporting
design, raw material acquisition, production, transportation/delivery, use, end-of-life treatment, disposal
life cycle perspective or product lifecycle
