Solvent Reduction Proposal

This proposal outlines the PDC team's initiative to reduce solvent use by 50% by year-end, addressing growing concerns from employees, the community, and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). With current solvent waste generation at 30,000 lbs/year, effective solvent reduction offers significant financial savings and risk mitigation. The project includes purchasing and installing a recycling still, with benefits such as reduced waste disposal costs, savings on chemical purchases, and less regulatory oversight. Implementing these strategies reinforces our commitment to sustainability while enhancing shareholder value.
