The use of chromium, hexavalent chromium, hydrochloric acid and zinc is an integral part of the products that we manufacturer, and it is not technically or economically feasible to reduce. We will continue to use these substances in strict accordance with all applicable environmental regulations Pinchin Ltd. Page 1 of 4

5 3.0 SUBSTANCES REQUIRING PLANS The substances requiring a plan are chromium, hexavalent chromium, hydrochloric acid, and zinc, based on 2011 Toxics Reduction Act accounting information. Chromium, hexavalent chromium, and zinc are used to electroplate the parts received at the facility, while hydrochloric acid is used in pickling of the parts before electroplating. 4.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN & ANY TARGETS prides itself on technological innovation in order to produce high quality products in an environmentally responsible manner. While no options have been identified, as part of the continuous improvement practices at the facility, technical advances will be monitored for new opportunities to reduce the use of chromium, hydrochloric acid and zinc at the facility. 5.0 PROCESS DESCRIPTION A detailed process description, including Process Flow Diagrams, is provided in Appendix I. 6.0 TOXIC SUBSTANCE ACCOUNTING INFORMATION Accounting information used to quantify the substances used at the facility, including the methods used to track and quantify the substance and a rationale for selecting each method are provided in Appendix II. Where applicable, an explanation of no approximate balance of inputs and outputs is also provided. A summary of the estimate of direct and indirect annual costs associated with specifically with the use, releases, and disposal of chromium are provided in Appendix III. Options to be implemented (or statement that none are to be implemented) Autotek Electroplating is committed to manufacturing and coating high quality products in an environmentally responsible manner. At this time, no new options for reduction of the substances contained in this report have been identified. Through its continuous improvement process, Autotek Electroplating will continue to work towards optimum use of its raw materials, and will monitor technological advances relating to its production processes as they become available Pinchin Ltd.
