Popis

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on toxic chemical releases and waste management and pollution prevention (P2) activities reported annually by facilities in certain industries as well as federal facilities. The TRI P2 Search Tool allows user to search for reported P2 and other environmentally friendly practices by industry, chemical, year, and/or state. Reported descriptions of P2 activities are then displayed alongside corresponding year-to-year changes in environmental releases, in order to help user identify companies implementing effective P2 practices. A P2 details report available for each facility-chemical combination displays waste mangement, P2, and production trends and allows user to compare facility's P2 profile to others within the same industry.
