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.

OH 43612		 Phenol 325211: Plastics Material and Resin Manufacturing 2016 15,040.12 47.20 -99.69 Source Reduction: W71: Other cleaning and degreasing modifications[-0-4%] - We adjusted the frequency and duration of reactor cleaning/rinsing to reduce waste generation.

Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - We are investigating anaerobic digestion/waste to energy followed by discharge to treat waste waters that are currently being solidified in a landfill. This would offer no cost benefit but would be a more environmentally friendly alternative to creating additional landfill waste. 		//enviro.epa.gov/enviro/P2_EF_Query.p2_report?FacilityId=43612CHMBN6175A&ChemicalId=0000108952&ReportingYear=2016&DocCtrlNum=1316215656430&Opt=0
