Under the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA), TRI collects information to track industry progress in reducing waste generation and moving towards safer waste management alternatives. Measures that facilities have taken to prevent pollution and reduce the amount of toxic chemicals entering the environment are shown in the table below. Although factors other than these reported practices contribute to year-to-year changes in releases, results are sorted by largest reduction in order to facilitate identification of pollution prevention successes. View the to learn about this report's features.

Methyl acrylate 325211: Plastics Material and Resin Manufacturing 2022 39.22 26.82 -31.62 Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - During 2022, Lubrizol's Louisville Plant implemented 10 separate projects that saved and will continue saving a total of 0.83 million KWh of electricity and 6.86 million lbs. of steam, annually.
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - During 2022, Lubrizol's Louisville Plant implemented 6 separate projects that saved and will continue saving a total of 24.4 million gallons of water, annually. One of those projects won the Waste Minimization, Reuse and Recycling Award in the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care awards program. Lubrizol was recognized for its Centrate Recycle project at its Louisville, Kentucky, plant. The goal was to reduce water and steam consumption and to decrease the volume of water sent to the local publicly owned treatment works (POTW), through recycling materials in new ways. This enabled the plant to replace 50% of the hot water it used in a process and to eliminate the steam addition needed, saving 11.5 million gallons of water, 3.2 million pounds of steam and more than 240 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

Vinylidene chloride 325211: Plastics Material and Resin Manufacturing 2020 191.20 130.80 -31.59 Source Reduction: W39: Other spill or leak prevention - Added interlock to stop monomer day tanks from refilling if they are not being fed to any premix system, reduces risk of monomer building up in recovery system through an open valve.
Source Reduction: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping - Electropolished thermowells to smooth the surface and prevent product build up that would become waste.
Source Reduction: W58: Other process modifications - 1) Automated loading of stripping recipes, which reduces risk of entering any incorrect setpoints and lowers the chance of exposing high residual monomer batches to the atmosphere. 2) Changed DCS conditions to reduce likelihood of contamination from backflow.

Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - During 2022, Lubrizol's Louisville Plant implemented 6 separate projects that saved and will continue saving a total of 24.4 million gallons of water, annually. One of those projects won the Waste Minimization, Reuse and Recycling Award in the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care awards program. Lubrizol was recognized for its Centrate Recycle project at its Louisville, Kentucky, plant. The goal was to reduce water and steam consumption and to decrease the volume of water sent to the local publicly owned treatment works (POTW), through recycling materials in new ways. This enabled the plant to replace 50% of the hot water it used in a process and to eliminate the steam addition needed, saving 11.5 million gallons of water, 3.2 million pounds of steam and more than 240 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
