Other Environmental Practices - The Americas Styrenics St. James Plant has two formal Plant programs that review each capital and expense project to evaluate for Product Stewardship principles. The first is an EHS Checklist that uses a step-by-step approach to each phase of the project to apply pollution prevention control activities. The second program is the facility Model LDAR Program that aggressively makes repairs to components that have fugitive emissions. Overall, annual emissions and waste data are evaluated to determine where pollution prevention opportunities exist at the St. James Plant. The emission and waste reduction hierarchy is as follows: Source Reduction: actions or techniques that reduce or eliminate the emission or waste at the source of generation. Recycle: material is used, reused or reclaimed. Energy Recovery: combustion of material for energy purposes. Treatment: treat material to render less toxic. Disposal: land disposal, last resort. |

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")
