Abstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funded a project with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy (NJDEPE) to assist in conducting waste minimization assessments at thirty small- to medium-sized businesses in the state of New Jersey. One of the sites selected was a facility that manufactures both oil-based and water-based paints for general purpose use. The paint is produced by mixing solvent, pigment, and other ingredients, all of which are purchased from vendors. The facility already practices many pollution prevention concepts. A site visit was made in 1990 during which several opportunities for waste minimization were identified. Options identified include improved scheduling techniques, reuse of rinses, and formulation of residues into other products. Implementation of the identified waste minimization opportunities was not part of the program. Percent waste reduction, net annual savings, implementation costs and payback periods were estimated.
