GROW 2002 Summer Workshop - Waste in Industrial Settings

Presented By: Sherry Davis, K-State Faculty

This presentation and accompanying "hands-on" exercise was designed to help GROW girls understand how waste is created in the manufacturing processes and what can be done to reduce wastes or pollution from those processes. The session started with a brief presentation of pollution prevention (P2) concepts and then GROW girls participated in an exercise with the Play Doh Fun Factory to manufacture" parts. Each girl got to participate by playing roles of a Big Boss, a Production Manager, a Quality Control person, or a Process Technician. The session wrapped up with a discussion of the exercise and evaluation of P2 options that would make the Fun Factory produce more parts with less wastes and environmental impacts.
