M&A's chemical engineer and toxic reduction planner worked with plant personnel to
identify best options for reducing silver, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and chromic
acid in manufacturing processes. Costs and payback for toxics use reduction (TUR) options
were determined and a schedule for implementing feasible options was established. |
2. Electronic Materials Manufacturer

The TUR Plan prepared by the environmental manager of the facility was reviewed and
certified by M&A's certified planner. Production units included nickel, gold, and tin
plating of coils of metal strips used in electronic components. Toxic chemicals included
copper, nickel, and sulfuric and hydrochloric acid. |
3. Manufacturer of Inks
