WASTE REDUCTION, POLUTION PREVENTION

LIFT can help your business implement:

Waste Reduction

• Assessments for Reduction of Raw Material Consumption and Waste Disposal
  A process modification may lead to reducing raw material waste, increase the possibility of recycling of the material and thereby reducing final waste disposal.
  
  
• Hazardous Waste Assessment
  Every company using chemicals must be aware of hazardous waste material storage and disposal requirements. Non-compliance with regulations can lead to fines and work disruption. LIFT performs an evaluation of your current practices and even provides recommendations for hazardous waste reduction or alternative use opportunities.
  
  
• Opportunities for Decreased Risk and Liability
  There may be an alternative to using dangerous chemicals in your manufacturing processes. Have you performed a review to see if there is a lower risk alternative that will get acceptable results? LIFT can help you to evaluate alternatives and possibly lessen you liability for worker lost time, fines and avoidable exposure.

Pollution Prevention

• Pollution Prevention
  Businesses that practice pollution prevention benefit the environment by producing less waste and reducing the transfer of waste from one environmental medium to another. In addition, business competitiveness can be improved through greater efficiency, wiser water and energy use, increased product quality and enhanced public image. Often, the greatest incentive to practicing pollution prevention is the financial bottom line (i.e., decrease in water, energy and waste disposal cost and avoidance of potential violations and fines.
  
  
• Best Manufacturing Practices
  A Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP) are processes, techniques, or innovative uses of resources that have a proven record of success in providing significant improvement in cost, schedule, quality, performance, safety, environment, or other measurable factors which impact the health of an organization. In those cases where documented applications (for processes, techniques, or innovative uses of resources) are not available, these will be developed using an approach that will analyze risk, establish measurable performance measurement criteria, and result in repeatable desired results.
