This document summarizes information presented in
the second set of 33/50 Program Company Profiles,
which continues a series of reports being developed by
EPA to highlight the accomplishments of-companies
participating in the 33/50 Program.  The 33/50
Program is an EPA voluntary pollution reduction ini-
tiative, that promotes reductions in direct environmental
releases and offsite transfers of priority toxic chemi-
cals. The program derives its name from its overall
goals — an interim goal of a 33% reduction by 1992
and an ultimate goal of a 50% reduction by 1995.  The
program uses 1988 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)
reporting as a baseline. In February, 1991, EPA began
contacting the parent companies of TRI facilities, that
reported using 33/50 Program chemicals since 1988 to
request their participation in the 33/50 Program. As of
November, 1995, nearly 1,300 companies had elected
to participate in the Program, pledging to reduce emis-
sions of the 17 target chemicals by more than 380 mil-
lion pounds by 1995.  Companies set their own reduc-
tion targets, which may vary from the Program's
national 33% and 50% reduction goals-

Bristol-Myers
Squibb Company
.^
.Bristol-Myers Squibb is a manufacturer of a wide variety of
well known pharmaceuticals and personal products, including
Bufferin™ and Excedrin™ pain relievers, Comdex™ cold med-:
ication, and Keri™ skin care lotion as well as medical devices
and nutritional supplements. Headquartered in New York,
New York, the Company operates 62 facilities in 35 countries.
The Company structures its business groups along its four
major product lines (pharmaceuticals, consumer and personal
products, medical devices, and nutritionals), all of which report5
33/50 Program chemical releases and transfers. Bristol-Myers
Squibb has reduced its total releases and transfers of 33/50 .
Program chemicals by 54 percent from 1988 to 1993. The
Company undertook the following major reduction activities:

• Developed a proprietary process in the production
of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) and 7-
' aminocephalosporanic acid (7-APA) by which
- methyl isobutyl ketone, methanol, and
dichlorotnethane solvent emissions were reduced.
This process involves the use of a closed-loop
patented process (the Titus system) to filter, dry,
and bulk package. 6-APA and 7-APA. This process
requires less solvent because it is enclosed, and the '
inert nitrogen atmosphere inside the equipment
minimizes solvent evaporation. The Titus system
has reduced annual releases and transfers of
dichloromethane by approximately 70,000pounds,
methyl isobutyl ketone by approximately 50,000
pounds, and methanol by approximately 100,000
pounds compared to 1988 levels. Although the
Titus system required a significant capital investment
of $8 million, the company estimates an annual
cost savings of about $700,000.

Improved the manufacturing process of penicillin
to improve process efficiency and achieves a 20
percent reduction in solvent emissions. This process
uses a belt filter operating in a continuous loop
under negative pressure in an inert nitrogen atmos-
phere. The Company estimated that the belt filter
project reduced releases and transfers of methyl
isobutyl ketone by approximately 500,000 pounds
and other TRI chemical solvents by approximately
350,000 pounds compared to 1988 levels. The
Company invested $2 million in this project, which
saves approximately $800,000 per year.
CHRYSLER
CORPORATION
Chrysler Corporation is a manufacturer of passenger cars,
minivans, sport-utility vehicles, and light-duty trucks.
Headquartered in Highland Park, Michigan, the'Company
operates approximately 50 facilities across North America,
and employs about 112,000 people worldwide. Chrysler ini-
tially pledged reductions in releases and transfers of 33/50
Program chemicals of 60 percent by 1995 from 1988 levels,
but later increased its commitment to an 80 percent reduc-
tion. Between 1988 and 1993, the Company reduced its total
releases and transfers of 33/50 Program chemicals by 74
percent. Chrysler also achieved reductions of 49 percent in
releases and transfers of non-TRI chemicals during the same
time period. The Company undertook the following major
reduction activities:

* Implemented a two-step source reduction project to
reformulate the base- and clear coat compositions
at seven facilities worldwide. This project resulted
in reductions of 33/50 Program chemicals by 65
percent in the basecoat and 20 percent in the
clearcoat between 1988 and 1993. Much of the
success of this project can be attributed to a focused
team effort of internal and external collaborators:
paint suppliers, equipment vendors, and Chrysler's
Paint & Anti-Corrosion Group.
- ' . . . . ' ' * .' . N • , '.
• Launched a program to reduce the use of basecoat
paint and solvents used per vehicle by focusing on
spray process parameters and manufacturing oper-
. ations. Chrysler engineers optimized atomizing air
flow, fluid delivery rate, and application distance.
In its manufacturing operations, Chrysler instituted
block painting to maximize the number of vehicles

capture and reclaim solvent vapors for reuse, and
(2) implementation of an aggressive monitoring and
preventive maintenance program. These modifi-
cations resulted in a steady decline in releases
and transfers .of dichloromethane from 9.0 million
pounds in 1988 to 4.4 million pounds in 1992, a
decrease of more than 50 percent.

Employed similar solvent recovery techniques at
several facilities to reduce releases and transfers
of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) by over 1.5
million pounds between 1988 and 1993.
Eaton Corporation is a manufacturer of engineered products
for the automotive, industrial, commercial, and military
industries. Eaton is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio and
has approximately 80 manufacturing facilities across the
United States, Canada, and Mexico. Of these facilities, 41
report 33/50 Program chemical releases and transfers. In
addition, Eaton has four-manufacturing technology centers
that are involved in technical research and management conT
suiting. The Company's total releases and transfers of 33/50
Program chemicals have been reduced by 80 percent
between 1988 and 1993. The Company undertook the fol-
lowing major reduction activities:

• Reduced off-site transfers of metal-containing
waste ("grinding swarf") generated from the
grinding of intake and exhaust valves. This was
accomplished by compacting the swarf into bri-
quettes and selling them to a local smelter. The
smelter processes the swarf into low grade stain-
less steel "pigs " that are sold to premium stainless
steel smelters for use as a raw material. This
innovation has resulted in elimination of land-
filling grinding swarf and a reduction in releases
and transfers of approximately 450 pounds of
nickel and 150 pounds of chromium per day from
participating facilities. The Company's cost for
managing the grinding swarf has increased by
$150,000 peryear as a result of the briquetting of
grinding'swarf and shipment to a smelter. The
Company is willing to incur these increased costs
because it believes landfill costs will significantly
increase in. the future due to landfill closures.

Eliminated the use of chlorinated degreasing sol-
vents (e.g., 1,1,1-trichloroethane) used to remove
lapping compound (a fine grinding compound) during
the manufacture of light and heavy duty hydrostatic
transmissions. • This was accomplished by adding
detergents containing petroleum sulfonate to the
lapping compound, which allowed the Company to use
an aqueous removal process for the lapping compound
rather than using chlorinated degreasing solvents.'

Established.a chromium waste exchange program,
whereby Eaton's chromium waste is used as a pro-
duction input by a nearby Monroe Shock Absorbers
facility. '. . • , .

Substituted solvent-based paints with powder coat-
ings at Eaton's Lincoln, Illinois facility.

Developed a company-wide program to use water-
based paints in lieu of solvent-based paints wher-
ever possible.

Developed a database of material safety data sheets
(MSDS) to track chemical use at its facilities.

Inland Steel
a subsidiary of
Inland Steel Industries, Inc.
Inland Steel is the fifth largest integrated steel producer in the
United States. The Company mines ore and produces iron as
well as most of the raw steel used in its manufacturing opera-
tions. Its products accounted for approximately five percent
of U.S. steel production in 1993. Inland Steel operates a
2,400 acre steelmaking facility known as the Indiana Harbor
Works (IHW) in East Chicago, Indiana. The Company
reduced releases and transfers of 33/50 Program chemicals by
86 percent between 1988 and 1993, The Company undertook
the following major reduction activities:

• Replaced tetrdchloroethylene .cleaning with
aqueous cleaning using new degreasing equip-
'ment. The cleaning solution used in Inland Steel's ,
new process is a mixture of hot water and a deter"
gent/cleaner called'Roundhouse™. There is no
wastewater discharge associated with this new
cleaning process. The purchase and installation of
• four aqueous cleaning systems cost approximately
$200,000 with a subsequent annual savings of
$37,500 associated with the purchase and dis-
posal of tetrachloroethylene. This project eliminated
the use of tetrachloroethylene.

• Recycled blast furnace and steelmaking dust and ,
sludge comprised primarily of chromium, lead,
and nickel compounds. The Company provides
space for two other companies (Baker Hughes
and National Recovery) to dewater the sludge and
compact it into briquettes. Inland pays these com-
panies for each ton of recycled material produced.
The briquettes, which have a high iron content, are
reintroduced into the blast and basic oxygen fur-
naces. The briquetting operation is capable of
generating 600 tons of recycled material per day
(219,000 tons per year). An estimated annual
amount of sludge used in the briquetting operation
contains approximately 7,277,000 pounds of metals

including approximately 216,000pounds of 33/50
Program chemicals — 22,000 pounds of chromium
compounds, 186,000 pounds of lead compounds,
and-8,000 pounds of nickel compounds. The bri-
quetting operation is still in the pilot stage and does
not yet result in a cost savings. The briquetting
operation costs between $40 and $50 per ton of
sludge processed compared to $35 per. ton of
sludge to be landfilled.
L®CK$t£ED MARTINA
Lockheed Martin is the largest defense contractor in the
world and the largest aerospace company in the United
States. The Company manufactures aircraft, missiles, space
launch systems, and satellite and electronic systems; refur-
bishes aircraft; and performs a variety of aircraft mainte-
nance services. Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland,
Lockheed Martin operates 450 facilities around the world.
Lockheed Martin was formed on March 15, 1995 with the ,
merger of Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta
Corporation. The Profile on this Company focuses, on the
former Lockheed Corporation. Lockheed reduced releases
and transfers of 33/50 Program chemicals by 77 percent
between 1988 and 1993. This reduction included the com-
plete elimination of releases and transfers of cadmium com-
pounds, lead compound, and tetrachloroethylene. Lockheed
also achieved a 66 percent reduction in total non-33/50 TRI
releases and transfers between 1988 and 1993. The Company
undertook the following major reduction activities:

• Replaced chlorinated solvents used to clean rocket
motor components with commercially available
alkaline cleaners. The aqueous cleaners work as
well as or better than 1,1,1 -trichloroethane (TCA)
to clean metal parts in large-scale manufacturing
operations. Implementation required an investment
in a new small-spray washing machine used pri-
marily to clean fluid transfer tubing used in launch
and missile systems. Large objects are cleaned in
an existing solvent immersion tank that was con-
verted for use with the aqueous cleaners.
Advantages of this project include elimination of .
chlorinated chemical emissions and elimination of

reduce toluene emissions and recycle toluene.
Sodium 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (NaMBT) is a
primary material in the production of sulfenamides
made at the Nitro plant The production process
of NaMBT uses toluene to remove impurities from
the NaMBT. The Company employed a vapor bal-
ancing technique to consolidate all tank vents to one
common vent and contain the toluene vapor within
the closed vent system. Any vapor not balanced in
the common vent is vented through a brine cooled
condenser, resulting in no significant vapor loss.
The Company also implemented a steam stripping
process to separate the toluene from the NaMBT and
recycle the toluene for reuse. Implementation of the
steam stripping process required a total capital
investment of $300,000. The annual raw material
savings as a result of toluene recovery'amounts to
approximately $30,000. Implementation of the
vapor balancing and steam stripping processes
resulted in a 90 percent reduction in toluene air
emissions between 1991 and 1992.
UNISYS
Unisys produces computer hardware, software, and information
management services for commercial and military customers.
Headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, Unisys operates 20
manufacturing facilities across the United States. The Company
reduced releases and transfers of 33/50 Program chemicals by
98 percent between 1988 and 1993. The Company undertook
the following major reduction activities:
• Replaced chromic/sulfuric acid etchant with an
alkaline etchant in the production of circuit boards.
Implementation of the alkaline etchant required an
investment in an enclosed etching system to reduce
workers' exposure to1 ammonia vapors. New
'etchant equipment also allowed copper oxide waste
from the circuit boards to be captured and sold to
the wood preserving industry for use as feed stock.
The alkaline etchant system reduced use of chromic
acid etchant from 11,015 gallons in the first half of
1993 to 2,020 in the second half of 1993. The
system also resulted in a 50 percent annual reduc-
tion in the cost of circuit board etching and an 81
percent reduction in cost of waste disposal.

• Eliminated chlorinated solvents (TCA and TCE)
used for cleaning the inner layers of printed circuit
boards prior to assembly through a two-step
process: (1) requiring workers to wear gloves
and (2) using tacky rollers instead of solvents to
remove loose debris. The tacky rollers produced
a cleaner inner layer board than the solvent
degreasing machine and reduced the labor
required to clean and assemble the boards. Unisys
achieved an annual savings of $41,000,-which
provided a payback period of just over two. years
on their capital investment for the new solvent-free
cleaning system.

• Replaced TCA and dichlo methane used for devel-
oping and stripping photoresist polymers with
aqueous processes. Photoresist polymers, andasso-
ciated cleaners, are used in three steps in the circuit
board manufacturing process^ inner layer etching,
outer layer etching, and solder mask application. In -
