Sustainable Manufacturing
XPS Product for Emissions Reduction, Energy Reduction, Hazardous Material Usage Reduction, Material Waste Reduction, and Water Usage Reduction.
Need More Sustainability Results?
Many companies want real environmental sustainability results. XPS Products for Sustainable Manufacturing assist by generating technical process efficiency improvement best practices to reduce wasted materials, energy and pollution. The products also help with implementing sustainability projects and tracking KPI metrics.
Magnitude of Hazardous Waste Generation
In the United States, there are over 100,000 environmental professionals working hard every day to comply with Federal, State and local environmental regulations and environmental permits. Despite their best efforts, a substantial amount of land, air and water pollution is generated.
According to the Federal Register, there are approximately 160,000 sites generating 11.8 billion pounds of hazardous waste each and every year. Additionally, it is costing manufacturers hundreds of billions of dollars each and every year to generate this waste!
UN Indicator 12.5
Substantially Reduce Waste Generation
By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
At the Process Efficiency Network, we’re supporting the circular economy principle of eliminating waste and pollution by helping companies improve process efficiency and implement innovative source reduction programs.
EPA Waste Management Hierarchy
The EPA encourages source reduction as the most environmentally preferred pollution reduction strategy. However, from a review of 175 sustainability scorecards shown in annual reports, less than 7% reported any source reduction activities.
Source Reduction:
Differs from all of the other categories because the waste is not created in the first place. All of the other categories deal with what to do with a waste after it is generated.
XPS Products for Sustainable Manufacturing logically ask the right questions to quickly identify opportunities to improve your system. Simply use your cell phone or computer to answer multiple choice questions. Several ideas will be suggested and you can determine which ideas will best help you meet your sustainability goals.
XPS Products for Sustainable Manufacturing can help reduce wastes that will make substantial environmental impacts. The products have the capability to help you eliminate a hazardous component in a waste stream to render the component non-hazardous. They can also reduce materials in wastes to help make waste disposal, recycling or reuse easier.
