Non-Production-Related Waste Managed
Sometimes, chemical waste is created by one-time events like remedial actions and natural disasters rather than routine production processes. Waste generated this way, referred to as non-production-related waste, is largely unpredictable and less amenable to pollution prevention. Non-production-related waste is typically reported separately from production-related waste. The following graph shows the quantities of non-production-related waste reported to TRI for 2023.
For 2023, over 500 facilities reported managing 11 million pounds of non-production-related waste. This is 0.03% of the total amount of TRI waste managed in 2023, which is similar to other years.
