Catalog of Applied TRI Data Uses

Search this collection of case studies, articles, and other resources to find examples of how organizations and individuals have used  Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data. U.S. facilities in certain industry sectors and all federal facilities must report their efforts in reducing the use of chemicals annually. They must also report quantities of chemical waste created as well as how much they managed through release into the environment, treatment, energy recovery and recycling. This information is compiled in the TRI and can be used by companies, government agencies, non-governmental organizations and the public for advocacy, research or environmental improvement.

The Catalog of Applied TRI Data Uses collects examples of these efforts and makes them searchable by keyword, type of waste management method or by project focus type, such as pollution prevention, risk management or industry performance.
