MATERIALS: SUPPLIERS PROCESS DESIGN, ALTERNATIVE RAW PACKAGING AND MATERIALS AND OPERATION This checklist sheet aims to assist companies manage their environment and This checklist sheet aims to assist companies manage their energy risks to improve productivity in relation to materials: process design, environment and energy risks to improve productivity in alternative raw materials and operation. CHECKLIST relation to materials: suppliers and packaging. Process design Is the amount of packaging used for raw Can alternative materials or processes be used that will reduce the materials optimised? toxicity of products, waste materials, waste water or emissions? Could raw material packaging be returned to the supplier? Is waste generated by poorly designed equipment and processes? Are alternative processes available that generate less waste? Are raw materials damaged and discarded Is there a direct and logical flow of materials through the process to during delivery? minimise waste? Are raw materials controlled by an effective inventory management system? Operation Are raw materials stored to reduce degradation? Are settings optimised to minimise offcuts and trimmings? Do contracts with suppliers incorporate waste Areminimisation guards in placeinitiatives? to prevent splashes? AreAre spills and overflows prevented? unused raw materials returned to the supplier? Are leaks repaired promptly? Are bulk containers used instead of small containers? Is the process operated at a rate that causes a high product reject rate? storage racks bins be material refilled reporting by suppliers Is itCould possible to improve the or yield of raw as/to to avoid use of packaging? product? Do raw materials or partly processed materials ever get wasted or do Are rawtomaterials to avoid damage to they report any waste stored streamscarefully or lower value by product streams? the bottom of the stack? Are materials wasted at start up and shut down? Is packaging simple and made from re-usable or recyclable materials? Are raw materials used on a first-in, first-out basis? Are raw materials and waste materials kept segregated to avoid contamination? Can any part of the packaging be avoided? Can the product be sold in bulk? Alternative raw materials the product packaging be or returned Is itCan possible to substitute a lower cost recycled for rawrefilling? material for an existing high cost or virgin raw material? ENVIRO ENERGY T O O LK I T the packaging be compressed for purposes of Is itCan possible that the unavoidable components ofthe waste can be reused transporting and/or landfill? within your company or by others?
