3P in Action
In one of our client companies, in the production process
workers use a highly viscous liquid and at the end of each shift
workers are required to clean the container.  The practice over the
period was to use water to dissolve the remaining viscous liquid
and to direct the wash water to the drains.  During the
Environmental Aspect identification process we noted this
practice and suggested changes to cleaning process.  Now,
workers scrape the container with a special tool they themselves
developed before washing and collect scraped viscous liquid into
a collecting container.   As a result water used for cleaning has
reduced and the wastage of the viscous liquid has minimized, as
the collected viscous liquid is reused.  One simple change to the
process resulted in conservation of two resources and as well as
money.
