Unreviewed Plastic - Mixing Process Options
Options below have not been reviewed by pollution prevention specialists. They are commonly recommended and
implemented for facilities.

Housekeeping
Minimize spills, and clean up under dust collectors to reduce potential for lead to enter sewer system.
Product Reformulation
Work with customers to minimize lead content in their products.
