Based on the sustainability initiatives outlined in Riordan Manufacturing's Executive Summary
and the Current Business Practices Audit, evaluate the effectiveness of the company's
sustainability plan. How do the company's current non-sustainable practices (recycling of
plastics, hazardous waste reduction, and energy conservation) align with the proposed
sustainability measures, and what are the potential barriers to success? Provide a detailed
analysis and recommend strategies for overcoming these barriers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Through a process of extensive internal assessment, external support and analyzation of
cultural trends, Riordan Manufacturing have identified waste reduction, recycling of plastic
waste and reduction in energy use as the three primary areas of focus for its sustainability
initiative. To support the corporate initiative, the company will focus its attention on several
activities that support the outlined three areas of focus. The elimination of standby power will
help reduce our energy use and the installation of solar panels will support the company initiative
to use more renewable energy. Reducing the use of shrink wrap within the organization and
recycling used shrink wrap are activities which support the corporate initiative to reduce plastic
use and waste.
Each initiative and actionable item must be cost effective. The return on investment for
each activity must be within the guidelines set by Riordan management. The work of individual
employees is going to dictate the success of each initiative. Riordan will provide training and
support for each affected employee to help them meet company goals. Riordan hopes by
involving all stakeholders affected by the plan, providing support to each employee, and
modifying the plan where needed, it will be successful in its approach to a sustainable
environment.
Moreover, regenerating air quality, and improving energy conservation are the key
factors to focus on. For the sustainability plan to become successful, Riordan needs to compare
its initial costs and the long-term benefits. This will then provide the organization with the best
business practices and recommendations for a successful improvement. The goal of Riordan
Manufacturing is to provide sustainable business practices and organizational growth.

Riordan Manufacturing also has goals to have strong sustainability measures. Barriers
have been identified and solutions to those barriers have also been established. Methods and
practices have also been put into place.
WEEK3: Current Business Practices Audit
As an industry leader in the field of plastic injection molding, Riordan Manufacturing
vice president of operations, Mark Neitzel wants to ensure Riordan stays a leader in the field of
plastic injection molding. Mr. Neitzel has decided to take a look at the current business practices
company-wide which includes locations in San Jose California, Albany, Georgia, Pontiac,
Michigan, and Hangzhou, China. By analyzing the firm’s current business practices and
specifying aspects of the business that would benefit from the implementation of a sustainability
plan, Mr. Neitzel hopes the company can make not only environmental improvements in each of
their locations but also cost saving improvements.
Non-sustainable Practices
The three non-sustainable practices that will be focused on for this sustainability report
are recycling of plastics, reducing hazardous waste, and conserving energy from lighting and
equipment use. These three sustainability practices will be assessed across all locations of
Riordan Manufacturing. This report will include the non-sustainable practices and how they are
present at each plant, why the practices are not sustainable, and identify state and federal
regulations to which Riordan must adhere and describe if the company is compliant or what they
should do to become compliant. Finally, this report will also include the sustainability study
process overviews from each of the plants in California, Georgia, Michigan, and China. Riordan
Manufacturing will benefit from this sustainability plan by moving to more sustainable business
practices.

Description of Each Non-sustainable Practice at Each Plant
When examining the presence of the non-sustainability practices at the various Riordan
Plants, recycling of plastics is the first business practice identified as an area of change.
Recycling of plastics occurs at the Georgia, Michigan and China plants in the departments of
molding and trimming. During the molding process scrap plastic, off spec- products and purge
material are collected and reused. This is caused by the outputs of scrap plastic or flashing
managed as waste and plastic material used to purge the equipment before a color change and
managed as solid waste. The Michigan molding department makes custom molds where the
excess plastic attached to the part is then trimmed with a mechanical shear. The difference for
this plant is that scrap plastic, off-spec product, and purge material are collected and thrown
away. In China the molding department produces plastic fan blades which are then sent to the
trimming department. While the outputs are the same as Georgia and Michigan, Riordan’s
Chinese partners handle the recycling of plastics process.
Reducing hazardous waste is another area identified for change for all three plants. The
divisions of Georgia, Michigan and China deals with the practice of hazardous waste
management in the departments of molding, trimming, labeling, packaging, and the shipping
department. Michigan has additional areas of hazardous waste management which includes the
mixing and assembly departments. All departments for the three Riordan plants deals with
outputs of spent cleaners and mold release agents that may create air pollution from volatile
organic compound emissions and managed as hazardous waste along with used oils managed as
industrial waste and spent cleaners and mold release agents managed as hazardous waste. The
sustainability process in place for Georgia and Michigan is to have the used oils collected by a
