| 2022 |
Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - McKinley Paper WI optimizes the amount of aqua ammonia used in the wastewater treatment plant. The ammonia feeds the biologics which reduce pollution in the effluent. |

| 2021 |
Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - Appleton Property Ventures optimizes the amount of aqua ammonia used in the wastewater treatment plant. The ammonia feeds the biologics which reduce pollution in the effluent. |

Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - Appleton Property Ventures optimizes the amount of aqua ammonia used in the wastewater treatment plant. The ammonia feeds the biologics which reduce other pollution in the effluent. |
||
| 2019 | Other Environmental Practices - Appleton Property Ventures optimizes the amount of aqua ammonia used in the wastewater treatment plant. | ||
| 2018 | Barriers to P2 - Appleton Property Ventures optimizes the amount of aqua ammonia used in the wastewater treatment plant. Changing to a recycled source of pulp has increased the ammonia needed at the wastewater water treatment plant to meet permit limits. | ||
| 2017 | Source Reduction - Appleton Property Ventures optimizes the amount of aqua ammonia used in the wastewater treatment plant by adjusting the dosage amount based on nitrogen level in in the aeration tank and in the plant effluent. The facility was temporarily shut down for 3 months and reopened with limited operations in 2017. | ||
| 2016 | Other Environmental Practices - Appleton Coated optimizes the amount of aqua ammonia used at the wastewater treatment plant by adjusting the dosage amount based on nitrogen levels in the aeration tank and in the plant effluent. | ||
| 2015 | Source Reduction - Appleton Coated optimizes the amount of aqua ammonia used at the wastewater treatment plant by adjusting the dosage amount based on nitrogen levels in the aeration tank and in the plant effluent. | ||
| 2014 | Source Reduction - Appleton Coated is adjusting the amount of aqua ammonia used as a nutrient at the facility's activated sludge wastewater treatment plant based on nitrogen levels in the aeration tank and the plant effluent. | ||

TRI Pollution Prevention Glossary
The Waste Management Hierarchy |
The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes.
The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed
by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.

- A breakdown of production-related waste managed. This includes all amounts of the chemical released directly to the environment or otherwise managed as waste, other than waste generated by one-time events not associated with normal production processes (e.g., fires or remedial actions).
- A production ratio or activity index to provide context for reported toxic chemical quantities. For example, if a chemical is used in the manufacture of refrigerators, the production index would track the number of refrigerators produced and could be used to help gauge how much of the chemical is being released per unit of production.
- Any newly implemented source reduction activities, reported using "W-codes" (e.g., "W41: Increased purity of raw materials")
