Did you know the Toxics Release Inventory tracks the implementation of green chemistry and engineering practices at certain industrial and federal facilities? Ten of the codes facilities use to report source reduction activities on TRI reporting forms are associated with green chemistry and engineering. EPA recently revised these codes to better capture the range of techniques and principles central to these concepts. Quick filter buttons in the TRI Toxics Tracker tool let data users identify and track source reduction activities that reduce the use of hazardous chemicals, improve resource efficiency, prevent the generation of waste, and use renewable resources. |
