Goal: Reduce hazardous waste (indexed to production) by 15% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 0.0067 kg waste/kg production in 2010.
Progress: 2017 hazardous waste totaled 0.0070 kg waste/kg production, an increase compared to the baseline.
Goal: Reduce nitrogen oxide by 20% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 11,034 tons in 2010.
Progress: Our 2017 nitrogen oxide emissions were 8,396 tons, an decrease of 24% compared to our baseline of 11,034 tons.
Goal: Reduce sulfur dioxide by 40% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 22,925 tons in 2010.
Progress: Our 2017 sulfur dioxide emissions were 10,923 tons, a decrease of 52% compared to our baseline of 22,925 tons.
Goal: Reduce total Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) by 15% from 2010 to 2020 against a baseline of 8,194 tons in 2010.
Progress: Our 2017 VOC emissions were 7,145 tons, a decrease of 12% compared to our baseline of 8,194 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 2017, we had 48 reportable release events, 21% 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 2017 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 17% since 2008.
2010-2012 US emissions calculated by EPA's GHG reporting rule and Non-US emissions calculated by ACC's GHG Protocol.
