The NDCEE leads and supports DOD facilities and the associated industrial base in adopting a comprehensive approach to pollution prevention and addresses other high priority environmental issues. The purpose of this Information Exchange is to provide a forum for discussions of ways to reduce the use of electrodeposited cadmium. Representatives from industry, military, and regulatory agencies will describe their ongoing projects to eliminate the use of cadmium on a variety of parts. The problems encountered in finding and qualifying alternatives for cadmium will also be discussed. Suppliers with off-the-shelf alternatives will have an opportunity to describe their products and present supporting data and application information. Through data sharing, the informal discussions will help attendees learn more about current happenings in the industry.
