What is JG-PP?

JG-PP is a partnership between the Military Services, NASA, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and chartered by the Joint Logistics Commanders (JLC), to reduce or eliminate HazMats or processes within the acquisition and sustainment communities

By establishing these partnerships, JG-PP addresses the common problems through shared efforts to produce joint solutions

JG-PP’s Goals

Fosters joint cooperation between the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, NASA, DLA, DCMA and Industry

Identifies shared opportunities, common qualification requirements, and reduces duplication of effort

Implements alternatives identified using the validated JG-PP Methodology

The bottom line: JG-PP reduces overall costs of eliminating or reducing HazMats and processes

8

JG-PP Methodology

Phase I – Identification Identify offending HazMat Engage appropriate stakeholders Obtain stakeholder buy-in

Phase II – Technical Identify alternatives Create a Potential Alternatives Report (PAR) Create a Joint Test Protocol (JTP)

Phase III – Business Develop a Business Plan Conduct a Cost Benefit Analysis Create a Statement of Work

Phase IV – Qualify Alternatives Conduct testing Create a Joint Test Report (JTR)

Phase V and Phase VI – Single Process Initiative and Implementation Initiate Change to Use Validated Alternatives at OEM facility Create an Implementation Plan Assist with Implementation

Typical Project - Low-VOC Identification Marking

Objective and Benefits: Identify and qualify low-VOC inks and labels used for identification marking Reduce or eliminate the use of VOCs (specifically MEK and toluene) Potential benefits:

Reduce VOC emissions Reduce hazardous waste (rags, ink, and solvents) Reduce waste management costs Reduce labor costs in rework, flowtime since no masking,

unmasking, cleaning Reduce raw material costs Reduce regulatory financial liabilities

Technology: Testing consisted of applying ink and label alternatives

onto bare and coated panels Nine alternative inks and ten alternative labels were tested Alternatives that passed screening tests underwent extensive

testing on several substrates Testing was completed with two alternate inks and several label

systems qualified for use

Accomplishments: PAR, JTP, 2 CBAs and JTR completed Implemented at Tobyhanna, NADEP Jacksonville, Point Mugu and

Air Force Plant (AFP) 44 in Tucson, AZ

Interested in Participating

JG-PP welcomes ideas for addressing high-priority Pollution Prevention (P2) projects Should be an environmental problem that JG-PP projects are not

currently addressing Should be common to two or more services and/or NASA

Summary

JG-PP is a partnership between the Military Services, NASA, DLA and DCMA to address the common problems to reduce or eliminate HazMats or processes within the acquisition and sustainment communities

JG-PP welcomes the opportunity to work or partner with other groups committed to the same goals
