CHICAGO (April 23, 2025) – Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a settlement with Miller Waste Mills, Inc. (doing business as RTP Company) in Winona, Minnesota, to resolve violations of chemical data reporting requirements under the Toxic Substances Control Act. The company must pay a $112,155 civil penalty.

Miller Waste Mills imports various chemicals used in textile waste processing and thermoplastic compounds. EPA alleges Miller Waste Mills failed to submit data reports for four imported chemical substances required by law. EPA assesses chemicals produced or sold in the U.S. to determine potential risks to public health and environment. The agency also ensures that any non-confidential business information regarding the chemicals is available to the public. The alleged violations impeded EPA’s ability to maintain accurate and updated information.

For information about chemical reporting, please visit the Toxic Substances Control Act Chemical Data Reporting web page.
