Goal: Reduce hazardous waste (indexed to production) by 15% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 0.0056 kg waste/kg production in 2010.
Progress: 2016 hazardous waste totaled 0.0074 kg waste/kg production, a significant increase compared to the baseline.
Goal: Reduce nitrogen oxide by 20% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 10,847 tons in 2010.
Progress: Our 2016 nitrogen oxide emissions were 10,301 tons, an decrease of 7% compared to our baseline of 10,847 tons.
Goal: Reduce sulfur dioxide by 40% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 22,828 tons in 2010.
Progress: Our 2016 sulfur dioxide emissions were 14,383 tons, a decrease of 37% compared to our baseline of 22,828 tons.
Goal: Reduce total Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) by 15% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 7,504 tons in 2010.
Progress: Our 2016 VOC emissions were 7,482 tons, a decrease of 8% compared to our baseline of 7,504 tons.
Goal: Reduce total number of reportable releases by 25% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 61 release events in 2010.
Progress:In 2016, we had 47 reportable release events, 23% decrease compared to our baseline of 61.
Goal: Reduce Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) emissions to the air by 25% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 5.4 Mlb in 2010.
Progress: Our 2016 TRI air emissions were 5.16 Mlbs, a decrease of 20% compared to the compared to the baseline.
*Baseline normalized for Solutia and Taminco acquisitions, restart of production plant, and refinement of methodologies.
**Decreases due to switch from coal to natural gas boilers, reliability program and additional equipment installed to decrease emission from increased production.
Goal: Reduce GHG emissions per unit of production (GHG Intensity) by 20% between 2008 and 2018.
Progress: Reduced GHG Intensity by 14% since 2008.
2010-2012 US emissions calculated by EPA's GHG reporting rule and Non-US emissions calculated by ACC's GHG Protocol.
Currently updating to reflect Solutia acquisition.
