OSHA Carcinogens
The furniture sector's releases of chemicals
designated as OSHA carcinogens totaled 1.1
million pounds in 1996, as shown in Table 7-8.
(OSHA carcinogens and the bases for their
designation appear in Box 1-9 in Chapter 1.) This
amounted to 3.2% of the sector's total releases. Air
emissions of 1.1 million pounds represented 98.0%
of total releases of the OSHA carcinogens.
Dichloromethane was the OSHA carcinogen with
the largest releases reported in this sector, with
903,000 pounds. More than 50,000 pounds each
was also reported for styrene (77,000 pounds),
formaldehyde (74,000 pounds), and
trichloroethylene (69,000 pounds). Three of these
chemicals (dichloromethane, styrene, and
formaldehyde) were among the top 15 chemicals
for total releases reported by the furniture sector in
1996 (see Table 7-7).
The mattresses and bedsprings industry (SIC code
2515) reported the largest releases of OSHA
carcinogens in the furniture sector, with 338,000
pounds. One facility in SIC code 2515 reported
337,000 pounds of dichloromethane, although this
solvent and thinner was also reported in smaller
amounts in numerous furniture industries. Ranking
second for releases of these chemicals, the non-
wood partitions and fixtures industry (SIC code
2542) reported 155,000 pounds. Multiple-codes
forms reported 152,000 pounds of releases and
ranked third.
Figure 7-7 shows the on- and off-site releases of the
four-digit SIC codes with the largest OSHA
carcinogen releases.
1996 TRI Chemicals in
Waste for Furniture
In 1996, the furniture sector reported production-
related waste totaling 57.8 million pounds. The
majority of this reporting consisted of quantities
released on- and off-site, 42.2 million pounds, or
73.0% of the sector's production-related waste. The
next largest categories were off-site energy

recovery, 5.6 million pounds (9.8%) and off-site
recycling, 5.1 million pounds (8.8%). Other waste
management types accounted for less than 5%
each of total production-related waste. These data
appear in Table 7-9, and Figure 7-8 illustrates the
percentage distribution.
Two industrial groups accounted for the largest
reported quantities released by this sector: wood
household furniture (SIC code 2511), with 23.4
million pounds, and multiple-codes forms with 10.8
million pounds. These two amounts together
accounted for 81.0% of the sector's reported release
quantities and 59.1% of the sector's total production-
related waste. Zero amounts reported by the
mattresses and bedsprings industry (SIC code 2515),
shown in Table 7-9, represent a reporting error. As
seen in Tables 7-1 and 7-8, this industry reported
338,000 pounds of releases in Section 5 of Form R
for 1996, which should also have been reported as
quantities released on- and off-site in Section 8 of
FormR.
The multiple-codes group reported the largest
amounts in all other types of waste management
except on-site energy recovery. (The furniture sector
as a whole reported only small amounts of toxic
chemicals burned for energy recovery on-site.).
Multiple-codes forms reported 2.2 million pounds of
on-site recycling, 427,000 pounds of on-site
treatment, 1.9 million pounds of off-site recycling,
3.6 million pounds of off-site energy recovery, and
266,000 pounds of off-site treatment. These amounts
ranged from 33.0% (off-site treatment) to 78.8% (on-
site recycling) of the sector's total in each of the
various categories.
234
-------
The non-wood office furniture industry (SIC code
2522) ranked second for on-site recycling, with
274,000 pounds (9.6% of the sector's total for on-
site recycling). Drapery hardware and blinds and
shades /SIC code 2591) reported the second-
largest amount for on-site treatment, 349,000
pounds (29.5%). The public building and related
furniture industry (SIC code 2531) ranked second
for off-site recycling, with 1.1 million pounds
(22.1%). The wood household furniture industry
(SIC code 2511) was second for off-site energy
recovery, with 1.2 million pounds (21.5%), and
for off-site treatment, with 234,000 pounds
(29.0%).
Distribution of production-related waste for the
top industries in the sector appears in Figure 7-9.
Chapter 7 — TRI Data for Furniture
Projected Quantities of TRI
Chemicals in Waste
Table 7-10 and Figure 7-10 summarize the furniture
sector's projections for on- and off-site waste
management through 1998. (As explained in Chapter
1, facilities not only report current data but project
waste management quantities for the next two years
in their TRI submissions.) Total production-related
waste was expected to decline 4.2% from 1996 to
1998, from 57.8 million pounds to 55.4 million
pounds. The largest component of this sector's
reported production-related waste—quantities
released on- and off-site—was projected to decrease
4.6%, from 42.2 million pounds to 40.3 million
pounds. These projected reductions would amount to
a 2.4 million-pound decrease in total production-

related waste, including a 1.9 million-pound
decrease in quantities released.
The sector also projected reductions of 6.0% in on-
site recycling, 5.2% in off-site recycling, and 4.1%
in off-site energy recovery. The absolute decrease
in each of these cases would be less than 300,000
pounds.
Relatively small absolute increases were projected
in on-site energy recovery (106,000 pounds), on-
site treatment (26,000 pounds), and off-site
treatment (70,000 pounds).
These projections indicate no change in the way the
furniture sector planned to manage its TRI
chemicals in waste. Despite the large absolute
decrease projected for releases, that category would
continue to account for approximately 73% of the

sector's production-related waste. As explained in
Chapter 1, releases are the least desirable option
for managing TRI chemicals in waste, according
to the waste management hierarchy.
Source Reduction Activity
A relatively high percentage of the TRI forms
submitted by the furniture sector—37.8%—
indicated that one or more source reduction
activities were undertaken during 1996. For TRI
as a whole, 19.6% of all forms reported source
reduction activity. As shown in Table 7-11, the
furniture sector submitted 472 forms that reported
source reduction activity. The wood household
furniture industry (SIC code 2511) submitted the
largest number, 279 forms or 44.3% of all TRI
reports filed by that industry. Among the
multiple-codes forms, 79 (or 47.0%) indicated
source reduction activity. The level of source
reduction activity represented by these high
percentages, in the industry groups that reported the
largest amounts of releases and waste management in
this sector, suggests that efforts are underway to
reduce those amounts.
Surface preparation and finishing was the category of
source reduction activity most often reported (on 235
forms), reflecting the importance of these activities in
furniture manufacture. Raw material modifications
was second (177 forms), and good operating
practices was third (112 forms).

Note: Forms with more than one 4-digtt SIC code within SIC code 25 are assigned to the "multiple" category.
*ncc: not elsewhere classified.
Although very few Form As were submitted in this
sector in either year, these also decreased by a
substantial margin (35.0%), from 40 to 26. (The
Form A certification statement is explained in
Chapter 1.)
On- and Off-site Releases
Releases on- and off-site reported by the furniture
sector decreased 14.1%, from 41.8 million
pounds in 1995 to 35.9 million pounds in 1996.
The largest component of the reduction was air
emissions, which decreased from 41.7 million
pounds to 35.7 million pounds (14.3%). Both
fugitive and point-source emissions decreased.
Other types of releases constituted less than 1%
of the furniture sector's total on- and off-site
releases, and were not significant elements of the
1995-1996 change.
Table 7-12 presents the furniture sector's on- and
off-site releases for 1995 and 1996. Figure 7-11
illustrates the percentage change in releases by
type.
Other On-site Waste Management
All types of other on-site waste management reported
by the furniture sector decreased from 1995 to 1996,
as shown in Table 7-12- The sector reported a 16.2%
reduction, from 4.8 million pounds to 4.1 million
pounds in total other on-site waste management.
Contributing to this overall decrease was a reduction
in on-site recycling from 3.4 million pounds to 2.8
million pounds and a reduction in on-site treatment
from 1.4 million pounds to 1.2 million pounds.
Energy recovery, the on-site waste management
option with the smallest amounts reported by this
sector, decreased from 94,000 pounds to 37,000
pounds.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Table 7-12 also shows the furniture sector's 1995 and
1996 reporting of transfers off-site for further waste
management. The total of such transfers decreased
8.3% from 14.2 million pounds to 13.1 million

pounds. This reduction was principally
attributable to a reduction in transfers to energy
recovery from 7.0 million pounds in 1995 to 5.6
million pounds in 1996, a 19.6% decrease.
Transfers to treatment also decreased, from
799,000 pounds to 601,000 pounds, while
transfers to recycling increased from 6.3 million
pounds to 6.5 million pounds and transfers to
POTWs increased from 122,000 pounds to
384,000 pounds.
Changes in SIC Codes
As indicated in facility descriptions below, some
facilities report different SIC codes over time.
This may reflect new or discontinued lines of
production, or it may represent a different
understanding of how SIC code designations
relate to a facility's business activities. These
changes can contribute—sometimes largely—to
apparent increases or decreases across comparison
years in the amounts reported by the four-digit, or
even two-digit, SIC codes.
1988-1996 TRI Data for Furniture
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRI baseline year to the current year rely on the
list of "core" TRI chemicals that were reportable,
with the same reporting definition, in all years. These
multi-year comparisons also review only the data
elements that were collected in all years, which
excludes from this section any analysis that
distinguishes RCRA subtitle C landfills from other
land releases as well as analysis based on the types of
underground injection wells. On-site waste

management data and transfers off-site to
recycling and to energy recovery have been
collected only since 1991; these data are
included, but cannot be compared across the full
1988-1996 period.
The number of forms submitted by the furniture
sector decreased by 25.8% from 1988 to 1996
(from 1,630 forms to 1,209 forms), as shown in
Table 7-13.
For the 1988-1996 "core" chemicals, the furniture
sector reported 62.4 million pounds of total on-
and off-site releases in 1988 and 35.7 million
pounds in 1996. This was a reduction of 42.8% or
26.7 million pounds. The reduction in air
emissions over this period was 25.8 million
pounds (from 61.3 million pounds in 1988 to 35.5
million pounds in 1996), including reductions in
both fugitive and point-source releases to air. The
sector also recorded an 848,000 pound reduction
in off-site releases (transfers to disposal), from
974,000 pounds to 126,000 pounds.
Figure 7-12 displays the percentage change in on-
and off-site releases by type of release for the
furniture sector.
On-site waste management and transfers off-site
for recycling or energy recovery were not
collected in 1988. For the 1994-1996 period,
other on-site waste management reported by the
furniture sector increased from 2.8 million
pounds in 1994 to 3.7 million pounds in 1996, as
shown in Table 7-13. This reflected a larger
increase in on-site recycling (from 1.7 million
pounds to 2.8 million pounds), partly offset by
smaller decreases in energy recovery (from
173,000 pounds to 37,000 pounds) and treatment
(from 997,000 pounds to 840,000 pounds).
For the types of transfers reported to TRI for the
full 1988-1996 comparison period, the furniture
Chapter 7— TRI Data for Furniture
sector reported an 83.8% reduction in transfers to
treatment (from 3.7 million pounds to 599,000
pounds) and a 57.9% reduction in transfers to
POTWs (from 250,000 pounds to 105,000 pounds).
These data also appear in Table 7-13.
1988-1996 Data for Four-Digit Industries in
Furniture
Tables 7-14 through 7-16 summarize data for 1988
and 1994-1996 for industries at the four-digit SIC
code level within SIC code 25. The tables present,
respectively, on- and off-site releases, other on-site
waste management, and transfers off-site for further
waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
Table 7-14 provides release data for all four-digit SIC
codes in the furniture sector, for 1988-1996. The
wood household furniture industry (SIC code 2511)
reported the largest decrease in total on- and off-site
releases, from 38.1 million pounds in 1988 to 22.1
million pounds in 1996. The non-wood office
furniture industry (SIC code 2522) ranked second for
decreases in releases, reporting 3.2 million pounds in
1988 and 1.2 million pounds in 1996. The third-
largest decrease was reported by the public building
and related furniture industry (SIC code 2531), from
2.5 million pounds to 690,000 pounds. All three
reductions occurred largely in reporting of air
emissions.
The mattresses and bedsprings industry (SIC code
2515) reported the largest increase in releases for the
1988-to-1996 period, from 30,000 pounds to 337,000
pounds, entirely in air emissions. The only other
industry reporting an increase was the miscellaneous
household furniture (SIC code 2519), from 431,000
pounds to 507,000 pounds. Releases reported in both
industries were considerably higher in 1994, but
decreased in 1995 and 1996. The overall increase was
primarily attributable to air emissions.

Other On-site Waste Management
The drapery hardware and blinds and shades
industry (SIC code 2591) reported the largest
decrease in other on-site waste management in
the furniture sector for 1994 to 1996 (on-site
waste management data were not collected in
1988). This was a reduction from 586,000 pounds
to 381,000 pounds, although this industry's total
other on-site waste management was higher
(652,000 pounds) in 1995. The industry reported
reductions in all waste management methods
except for a small increase in on-site recycling.
The miscellaneous furniture and fixtures industry
(SIC code 2599) ranked second for decreases,
reporting 77,000 pounds in 1994 and 12,000
pounds in 1996. The public building and related
furniture industry (SIC code 2531) reported the third-
largest decrease, from 81,000 pounds to 31,000
pounds. In both industries, the reductions reflected
decreased reporting in on-site recycling and
treatment.
The largest increase from 1994 to 1996 was reported
by the multiple-codes group, from 1.4 million pounds
to 2.6 million pounds. This increase was reported
principally in on-site recycling. The non-wood
partitions and fixtures industry (SIC code 2542)
ranked second, increasing from 116,000 pounds to
194,000 pounds. The increase was attributable to
treatment and recycling. Non-wood office furniture
(SIC code 2522) ranked third, reporting 263,000
pounds in 1996 and 287,000 pounds in 1996. This
increase reflected an increase in on-site recycling,
partly offset by a decrease in on-site treatment.

On-site waste management data for 1994-1996
appear in Table 7-15.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The wood household furniture industry (SIC code
2511) reported the largest decrease in the
furniture sector from 1994 to 1996 in transfers
off-site for further waste management (data for
some types of off-site transfers were not collected
in 1988). This was a reduction from 2.4 million
pounds to 1.7 million pounds, reflecting
decreases in all types of transfers except for a
small increase in transfers to POTWs.
The miscellaneous furniture and fixtures industry
(SIC code 2599) ranked second for decreases,
with 166,000 pounds in 1994 and 93,000 pounds
in 1996. Ranking third, the wood partitions and
fixtures industry (SIC code 2541) reported a
reduction from 138,000 pounds to 70,000 pounds.
Transfers to energy recovery accounted for the
majority of the reductions for both of these industries.
As with other on-site waste management, the
multiple-codes group reported the largest increase in
transfers off-site for further waste management.
Multiple-codes forms reported 5.9 million pounds in
1994 and 7.0 million pounds in 1996. A large
increase in transfers to recycling was the significant
factor in this overall change, although transfers to
treatment showed a substantial decrease.
The public building and related furniture industry
(SIC code 2531) reported 1.2 million pounds of
transfers off-site for further waste management in
1994 and 1.3 million pounds in 1996, although the

1995 amount was higher (1.4 million pounds).
This was the second-largest increase reported in
the furniture sector. The drapery hardware and
blinds and shades industry (SIC code 2591)
ranked third for increases, with 354,000 pounds
in 1994 and 389,000 pounds in 1996, although
the total was lower (249,000 pounds) in the
intervening year. Transfers to recycling were the
principal factor in the increase for both industries.
Transfers off-site for further waste management
reported by the furniture sector for 1988-1996
appear in Table 7-16.
Facilities with Large Increases and
Decreases in Releases, 1988-1996
Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., in Lenoir,
North Carolina (SIC code 2511 in 1988 and codes
2493 and 2511 in 1996), ranked first with a
reported 787,000 pound increase between 1988 and
1996. The Broyhill Miller Hill complex is made up of
several wood household furniture manufacturing
plants. Three of the plants reported as individual
facilities from 1987 to 1990. Beginning in 1991,
reporting by the three plants was combined, and the
three were identified as a single facility. The decision
to combine the TRI reporting followed consolidation
of the plants' various air permits under Title V of the
Clean Air Act, according to the Broyhill contact. See
also "Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases in
Waste Management, 1991-1996."
Peters-Revington Furniture in Delphi, Indiana (SIC
code 2511), ranked second in increases with an
overall 765,000 pounds. Toluene was the largest
chemical contributor to the change, accounting for
44% of the increase. The chemical is part of coating
formulations for the facility's products, occasional
furniture. According to the facility contact, the
increase in releases was due to expansion

and increased sales volume. See also "Facilities
with Large Increases and Decreases in Waste
Management, 1991-1996."
Superior Products Sales, Inc., in Plantersville,
Mississippi (did not report in 1988 and SIC code
2515 in 1996), was third with 337,000 pounds.
Dichloromethane was responsible for 100% of the
increase. The chemical is used as a blowing (or
expansion) agent in the production of urethane
foam for furniture and bedding. No data were
reported for dichloromethane in 1988 which was
not used as a blowing agent until 1991.
Child Craft Industry, Inc., in Salem, Indiana (SIC
codes 2511, 2517, 2519, and 2521 in 1988 and code
2511 in 1996), ranked first in decreases with a
656,000 pound reduction. This manufacturer of
wooden children's furniture, such as cribs and
dressers, reduced the amount of methyl ethyl
ketone emitted to air by 241,000 pounds (37% of
the total decrease). The decrease was attributable,
in part, to the installation of automatic painting
equipment which improved paint transfer efficiency
and reduced overspray.
Singer Furniture Company in Lenoir, North
Carolina (SIC code 2511), was second in decreases
with 604,000 pounds. N-butyl alcohol, a
component of finishing material used on household
wood furniture, accounted for 27% of the decrease.
The facility experienced a gradual decrease in
production for several years prior to its closure in
March 1997. See also "Facilities with Large
Increases and Decreases in Waste Management,
1991-1996."
The third-ranked facility for decreases, Kincaid
Furniture in Hudson, North Carolina (SIC code
2511), is a manufacturer of solid wood furniture.
249
-------
Chapter 7— TRI Data for Furniture
Reductions in the use of toluene were partly
attributable to reformulation of finishing materials
such as paints and stains. Toluene accounted for
35% of the facility's overall decrease.
Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Releases. 1988-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which have
been identified as reporting errors or plant closures.
Because these are errors or plant closures and not
actual changes in the data, these facilities are not
discussed in detail here. There is one such facility
in the furniture sector:
Johnston-Tombigbee Furniture, Columbus,
Mississippi, increase of 341,000 pounds, reporting
error.
1991-1996 Waste Management Data
for Furniture
Table 7-17 summarizes on- and off-site waste
management data for the furniture sector for 1991,
when TRI began collecting this information, and
the three most recent years (1994-1996). The
furniture sector's total production-related waste
decreased 8.1%, from 62.2 million pounds in 1994
to 57.1 million pounds in 1996 (a 5.0 million-pound
reduction). The largest decrease was reported in
quantities released on- and off-site, from 47.9
million pounds to 41.9 million pounds, a 5.9
million-pound reduction (12.4%). The sector also
reported smaller reductions in on-site recycling, on-
site energy recovery, off-site energy recovery, and
off-site treatment. The net decrease in each of these
cases was less than 400,000 pounds.
Off-site recycling increased from 3.6 million
pounds to 5.1 million pounds, or 42.8%. This was
an increase of 1.5 million pounds. On-site treatment
showed a smaller increase (376,000 pounds).
In several types of waste management, the sector
reported larger amounts in 1994 or 1995.
250
Figure 7-13 illustrates the percentage change in on-
site waste management, off-site waste management,
quantities released on- and off-site, and total
production related waste.
These changes suggest little real improvement in
the sector's management of TRI chemicals in
waste, as measured by the waste management
hierarchy (explained in Chapter 1). Over the 1991-
1996 period, quantities released decreased more
than total production-related waste decreased,
which indicates that the sector relied less on
releases and more on other waste management
options. However, releases still amounted to 73.4%
of total production-related waste reported in 1996.
This is a very high percentage for the least
desirable waste management option, as set forth in
the waste management hierarchy.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Waste Management, 1991-1996
Peters-Revington Furniture in Delphi, Indiana (SIC
code 2511), ranked first in increases in waste
management with an overall 558,000 pounds.
Toluene reported under quantity released made up
36% of the increase. The chemical is part of coating
formulations for the facility's products, occasional
furniture. A production increase was primarily
responsible for the change. See "Facilities with
Large Increases and Decreases in Releases, 1988-
1996" for more information.
Another Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., facility
in Lenoir, North Carolina (SIC code 2511 in 1991
and codes 2435, 2436 and 2511 in 1996) was the
second largest increaser in waste managed. The
Virginia Street plant, site of household furniture
manufacture, had a reported 508,000 pound
increase. Toluene, a constituent of paints and other
finishing materials, accounted for 32% of the
change. The facility contact stated that the toluene
increase may be due to a higher toluene content of
finishing materials. The contact also stated that the
facility does not control the make-up of its finishing

materials because they are purchased from
suppliers.
Meridian, Inc., in Spring Lake, Michigan (SIC
codes 2522 and 2542), was the top decreaser with
an overall 1.2 million-pound reduction. Reporting
of toluene accounted for 91% of the overall
change between 1991 and 1996. No information
was provided by the facility before this
publication's deadline.
Singer Furniture Company in Lenoir, North
Carolina (SIC code 2511), ranked second in
decreases with 811,000 pounds. The Singer plant
also ranked second in decreases of releases (see
"Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996"). Toluene, a solvent for
finishing material used on household wood
furniture, accounted for 29% of the decrease. The
facility experienced a gradual decrease in production
for several years prior to its closure in March 1997.
Steelcase, Inc., in Athens, Alabama (SIC code 2522),
was third in decreases with a 617,000 pound
reduction. Toluene was used at the facility to adjust
the viscosity of paints and as a cleaning solvent in
painting processes. Toluene reporting dropped from
370,000 pounds in 1991 to zero pounds in 1996 (60%
of the overall reduction) due to several factors: A
light aromatic solvent with a low toluene-content
replaced a 40% toluene paint-thinner, the facility
switched paint vendors in order to acquire materials
with lower contents of regulated chemicals, and a
dry-powder paint system was implemented. The latter
involves the application of paint as a powder, which
liquefies and adheres to surfaces in a heating cycle.

The metal office furniture manufacturer now uses
toluene in amounts below the TRI reporting
threshold.
Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Production-Related Waste, 1991-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which
have been identified as reporting errors or plant
closures. Because these are errors or plant

Toxics Release Inventory Data
for Printing and Publishing (SIC Code 27)
A Look at the Printing and
Publishing Industry
(SIC Code 27)
Printing, publishing, and allied industries (SIC code
27) publish newspapers, magazines, books, and
pamphlets. (Publishers in this sector may or may
not print their publications.) The sector also
includes commercial printing. In addition, other
products of the sector are business forms, greeting
cards, looseleaf binders and blankbooks, and a wide
variety of other materials ranging from atlases to
sheet music to telephone directories. Bookbinding
and services for the printing trade, such as
typesetting, also appear in SIC code 27. Box 8-1
lists Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes
and their designations for this sector. In TRI, SIC
codes are given as reported by the facilities; these
may differ from information in economic and other
data collections.
The printing and publishing sector's value of
shipments was $195.44 billion in 1996, up from
$188.13 in 1995 (both in current dollars). The
sector employed more than 1.5 million in both
years. Printing and publishing activities are
labor-intensive, although automation is increasing.
Employment in printing and publishing has been
relatively stable. Production levels, however,
decreased 4.8% from 1989 to 1996, compared to an
increase of 17.6% for all U.S. manufacturing (see
Chapter 1, Table 1-10). The United States is both
the world's largest market for printed products and
the world's largest exporter of printed products.
Electronic media such as CD-ROMs and the
Internet increasingly compete with printing and
publishing for certain types of products, such as
encyclopedias, catalogs, and advertising.
In 1996, commercial printing (SIC code 275)
accounted for one-third (34.7%) of the sector's
value of shipments, with $67.84 billion in 1996,
and more than one-third (40.0%) of the sector's
employment, with 604,000. Newspaper publishing
(SIC code 271) contributed $39.17 billion (20.0%)
in value of shipments and 403,000 (26.6%) in
employment. While industries in commercial
printing have reported the largest amounts of TRI
releases and waste management in this sector, no
TRI forms have been submitted in the newspaper
publishing industry in recent years.
Printing processes typically begin with
photographing prepared pages (or other layouts) to
produce film transparencies. Most printing

negatives (on paper or film). In either case, the
image is next transferred to a plate or cylinder.
Lithography, the predominant printing process,
uses printing plates to transfer ink to a rubber
blanket, which in turn transfers ink to the paper or
other substrate. Lithographic plates are typically
thin aluminum sheets. Gravure processes print
directly from etched copper cylinders, rather than
plates and blankets. Printing processes thus share
characteristics, including chemical usage, with both
photographic and metal fabrication processes.
Printing processes involve metal compounds, light-
sensitive salts, acids, and other chemicals.
Photoprocessing chemicals used in printing may
include benzene derivatives used as developers.
Wastewaters from photoprocessing often contain
metals—not only silver, but others such as mercury
compounds, used to intensify image contrast during
photographic development. Plate coatings include
dyes, photopolymers, binders, resins, pigments, and
acids. Platemaking and cleaning involve extensive
use of solvents, including toluene. Inks also
typically contain solvents such as xylenes,
generating air emissions during printing and drying
operations. Gravure printing, in particular, uses
inks that dry by solvent evaporation. The
predominant solvent in TRI reporting by the
publishing and printing sector is toluene, which was
the chemical reported by this sector in the largest
amounts in almost all TRI categories.
Technological developments and environmental
concerns have both influenced changes in the
sector's environmental performance. Digital
(electronic) processes for text and graphics can
eliminate the need for photographic film. Water-
based printing processes are becoming more
common, and vegetable-based inks have been
formulated to replace inks with high solvent or
metal content. Solvents and waste ink are recycled;
in some cases, solvents used in platecleaning can be
re-used as ink thinners.
1996 TRI Data for Printing
and Publishing
Table 8-1 summarizes TRI reporting by the printing
and publishing sector for 1996. A total of 483
forms were submitted in publishing and printing
industries. This total included eight Form A
certification statements, certifying that a facility's
total annual reportable amount of a TRI chemical
was less than 500 pounds for the year and that the
facility did not manufacture, process, or otherwise
use more than 1 million pounds. (The Form A
certification statement is explained in Chapter 1.)
The commercial gravure printing industry (SIC
code 2754) submitted 172 forms, or 35.6% of the
total number of forms submitted in this sector. The
commercial lithographic printing industry (SIC
code 2752) submitted 95 forms, 19.7% of the total.
There were 71 forms (14.7%) that reported more
than one SIC code within SIC code 27. Some
facilities in this sector conduct business in distinct,
but related, SIC codes. A commercial printer, for
example, may perform both lithographic and
gravure printing, classified in SIC codes 2752 and
2754, respectively. Such facilities may report
multiple SIC codes on their TRI forms. (Box 1-5 in
Chapter 1 further explains reporting of multiple
SIC codes and its affect on the analyses presented
in the TRI data release.)
Two industrial groups submitted most of the
sector's forms and reported the bulk of the sector's
releases and waste management. These were the
commercial gravure printing industry (SIC code
2754) and the multiple-codes forms that reported
more than one SIC code within SIC code 27 to
describe their operations.
Commercial gravure printing (SIC code 2754)
reported the largest amounts of releases and waste
management in the printing and publishing sector
for 1996, summarized in Table 8-1. The

million pounds (30.5%). Commercial lithographic
printers (SIC code 2752) reported the third-largest
air emissions (951,000 pounds, or 3.4%).
As noted, the printing and publishing sector
reported larger amounts for toluene than for any
other chemical in nearly all TRI categories. The
two industrial groups with the largest releases—
commercial gravure printing (SIC code 2754) and
multiple-codes forms—reported toluene air
emissions of 15.0 million pounds and 7.7 million
pounds, respectively.
The printing and publishing sector reported off-site
releases (transfers to disposal) of 89,000 pounds.
As noted earlier, the commercial gravure printing
industry (SIC code 2754) reported 49,000 pounds
(55.0% of this total).
Figure 8-2 shows the distribution of on- and off-site
releases for the industries (four-digit SIC code)
with the sector's largest releases.
Other On-site Waste Management
The printing and publishing sector reported 168.5
million pounds of on-site recycling, nearly three-
quarters (73.1%) of the sector's reported other on-
site waste management in 1996. This included
105.8 million pounds of toluene. The second-
largest waste management option in this sector's
reporting was on-site treatment (61.7 million
pounds, or 26.8% of total other on-site waste
management). The sector reported on-site treatment
of 55.9 million pounds of toluene. The sector
reported relatively little on-site energy recovery
(204,000 pounds). Table 8-4 and Figure 8-3 present
other on-site waste management data reported by
the printing and publishing sector for 1996.

group reported 57.6 million pounds (34.2%) of on-
site recycling. Three commercial gravure printing
facilities and two multiple-codes facilities reported
on-site recycling of more than 14 million pounds
each of toluene. (Both multiple-codes facilities
reported SIC codes 2752 and 2754.)
Multiple-codes forms also reported most of the
sector's on-site treatment: 53.9 million pounds, or
87.4% of the sector's total. One commercial printer
that reported in both the lithographic and gravure
industries (SIC codes 2752 and 2754, respectively)
reported on-site treatment of 53.2 million pounds of
toluene. Commercial gravure printing (SIC code
2754) reported 5.5 million pounds in on-site
treatment, or 9.0% of the sector's total.
Figure 8-4 illustrates the distribution of on-site
waste management reporting for the top industries
in this sector.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
As shown in Table 8-5, the printing and publishing
sector reported nearly equal amounts of transfers
off-site to recycling (3.64 million pounds) and to
energy recovery (3.67 million pounds) in 1996.
These transfer types accounted for about 46% each
of the sector's total transfers off-site for further
waste management. Figure 8-5 illustrates the
percentage distribution of transfer types reported in
this sector in 1996.
Forms reporting multiple SIC codes in SIC code 27
reported 2.3 million pounds of transfers to
recycling, the largest amount of off-site transfers to
recycling in the sector. This amount was 64.5% of
the sector's total for transfers to recycling. Almost
all of this was recycling of toluene (2.2 million
pounds). One facility that reported commercial
lithographic and gravure printing (SIC codes 2752
and 2754) reported transferring 2.0 million pounds
of toluene off-site to recycling.
The commercial gravure printing industry (SIC
code 2754) reported 2.6 million pounds of transfers
to energy recovery, the sector's largest amount in
that category. This was 71.5% of the sector's total
for transfers to energy recovery. The chemical with
the largest such transfers was glycol ethers with
549,000 pounds, including 532,000 pounds
reported by one commercial gravure printer (SIC
code 2754).
Figure 8-6 illustrates the distribution of off-site
transfers for further waste management for the top
industries in this sector.

million pounds of on-site releases, 20.9% of the
sector's total of 28.4 million pounds of on-site
releases. Tennessee's total for on- and off-site
releases was also 5.9 million pounds, or 20.9% of
the sector's total of 28.5 million pounds. Virginia
ranked second in both categories with 3.8 million
pounds, approximately 13% of the sector's reported
amounts for on-site releases and for total on- and
off>site releases. Illinois ranked third in both
categories with 2.8 million pounds, 10.0% of the
sector's totals.

Map 8-1 illustrates the geographic distribution of
total on- and offcsite releases in the printing and
publishing sector.
1996 TRI Data by
Chemical for Printing and
Publishing
The top 15 chemicals for total on- and off-site
releases in the printing and publishing sector
accounted for more than 99% of the sector's air
emissions, on-site releases, and total releases. The
sector reported 28.2 million pounds of releases,
almost entirely as air emissions, as shown in Table
8-7. Off-site releases (transfers to disposal) of these
chemicals totaled 29,000 pounds, 32.3% of the
sector's off-site releases.
Toluene was reported in the largest amounts for
both air emissions (23.1 million pounds) and
transfers to disposal (18,000 pounds). Toluene
ranked first among all chemicals for total on- and
off-site releases reported in the publishing and
printing sector, with a total of 23.1 million pounds.
As noted, commercial gravure printing (SIC code
2754) reported 15.0 million pounds of air emissions
of toluene, and multiple-codes forms reported 7.7
million pounds of air emissions of toluene. This
solvent is a constituent of inks used in gravure
printing and is used in cleaning printing plates,
cylinders, and other equipment.
As shown in Table 8-7, releases of other chemicals
reported in the printing and publishing sector were
considerably smaller than those for toluene.
Xylenes ranked second with 1.3 million pounds of
total releases, and glycol ethers ranked third with
1.2 million pounds. For xylenes, the multiple-codes
group reported 652,000 pounds of total releases,
and commercial gravure printing (SIC code 2754)
reported 527,000 pounds. Three industries reported
releasing more than 275,000 pounds each of glycol
ethers: commercial gravure printing (SIC code
2754, 376,000 pounds), commercial lithographic
printing (SIC code 2752, 332,000 pounds), and
miscellaneous commercial printing (SIC code 2759,
277,000 pounds).
OSHA Carcinogens
The printing and publishing sector reported
273,000 pounds of on- and offcsite releases of
chemicals designated as OSHA carcinogens, as
shown in Table 8-8. (OSHA carcinogens and the
bases for their designation appear in Box 1-9 in
Chapter 1.) This represented 1.0% of the sector's
total releases for all chemicals.
Two of the 15 chemicals with the largest total
releases in this sector were also OSHA
carcinogens: dichloromethane and
tetrachloroethylene. The sector reported releases of
177,000 pounds of dichloromethane and 48,000
pounds of tetrachloroethylene, as shown in Table 8-
7. Releases of more than 10,000 pounds each were
also reported for two other OSHA carcinogens:
trichloroethylene (33,000 pounds) and
di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (12,000 pounds).
The commercial gravure printing industry (SIC
code 2754) reported the largest total releases
(153,000 pounds) of OSHA carcinogens in the
printing and publishing sector. One commercial
gravure printer reported all of the sector's releases

(141,000 pounds) of dichloromethane. The gravure
printing industry also reported the sector's only off-
site releases (transfers to disposal) of the OSHA
carcinogens, 12,000 pounds of di-(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate.
Platemaking services (SIC code 2796) ranked
second for total releases of these chemicals, with
75,000 pounds, including 13,000 pounds of on-site
land releases of trichloroethylene. Commercial
lithographic printing (SIC code 2752) reported the
third-largest total releases, with 35,000 pounds.

1996 TRI Chemicals in
Waste for Printing and
Publishing
The printing and publishing sector reported total
production-related waste of 266.2 million pounds in
1996, as shown in Table 8-9. On-site recycling
amounted to nearly two-thirds (63.3%) of this total,
with 168.5 million pounds. On-site treatment was
the second-largest waste management option, with
61.7 million pounds (23.2%). Quantities released
on- and off-site totaled 26.4 million pounds (9.9%
of total production-related waste). Each of the other
types of waste management accounted for 2% or
less of the sector's production-related waste. Figure
8-8 illustrates the distribution of waste management
methods in the sector's 1996 reporting of
production-related waste.
The commercial gravure printing industry (SIC
code 2754) reported approximately two-thirds of
the sector's on-site recycling (110.2 million pounds
or 65.4%) and quantities released (16.5 million
pounds, or 62.4%). Forms reporting multiple SIC
codes in SIC code 27 reported most of the sector's
on-site treatment (53.9 million pounds, or 87.4%).
The multiple-codes forms also reported the second-
largest amounts for both on-site recycling (57.6
million pounds, or 34.2%) and quantities released
(7.4 million pounds, or 28.2%). Together, the
commercial gravure printing industry and the
multiple-codes group accounted for 97.3% of the
sector's total production-related waste.

Projected Quantities of TRI
Chemicals in Waste
Table 8-10 summarizes the printing and publishing
sector's projections for on- and off-site waste
management through 1998. (As explained in
Chapter 1, facilities not only report current data but
project waste management quantities for the next
two years in their TRI submissions.) From 1996 to
1998, the printing and publishing sector projected a
2.7% increase of 7.2 million pounds in total
production-related waste, from 266.2 million
pounds to 273.4 million pounds. The largest
contributing factor in this overall projected increase
was on-site recycling, projected to increase from
168.5 million pounds to 182.8 million pound (an
8.5% increase). This projected increase was partly
offset by a projected reduction in on-site treatment
from 61.7 million pounds to 56.3 million pounds
(an 8.8% decrease).
Reductions were also projected for off-site
recycling (from 4.9 million pounds in 1996 to 4.6
million pounds in 1998) and off-site energy
recovery (from 3.8 million pounds to 3.0 million
pounds). Quantities released on- and off-site were
expected to decrease from 26.4 million pounds to
25.7 million pounds.
The sector projected increases in on-site energy
recovery (from 204,000 pounds to 225,000 pounds)
and off-site treatment (from 621,000 pounds to
705,000 pounds).

Note: Data from Section 8 of Form R. Forms with more than one 4-digit SIC Code within SIC code 27 are assigned to the "multiple" category. Invalid SIC
codes are codes beginning "27" that do not exist in the current Standard Industrial Classified code system.
Figure 8-10 illustrates the projected changes in on-
site waste management, off-site waste management,
quantities released, and total production-related
waste.
These changes suggest only modest improvement
in the sector's management of TRI chemicals in
waste, as measured by the waste management
hierarchy, explained in Chapter 1. Although on-site
treatment was projected to decrease by nearly 5
million pounds, on-site recycling was projected to
increase nearly three times that amount. Despite
this apparent shift from treatment tcr recycling, the
printing and publishing sector's projected increase
represents an additional volume of production-
related waste.
Source Reduction Activity
As shown in Table 8-11, one-third (34.4%) of the
forms submitted in printing and publishing
indicated one or more source reduction activities
underway in 1996. The three commercial printing
industries submitted the majority of these (73.5% of
all forms indicating source reduction activity). The
largest number of forms (73 forms) was submitted
by the commercial gravure printing industry (SIC
code 2754). The miscellaneous commercial printing
(SIC code 2759) submitted 26 forms indicating
source reduction activity and the commercial
lithographic printing (SIC code 2752) submitted 23
such forms. Forms indicating source reduction
activity represented 42.4% of all forms submitted

Chapter 8 — TRI Data for Printing and Publishing
Year-to-Year
Comparisons for Printing
and Publishing
1995-1996 TRI Data for Printing and
Publishing
The number of TRI forms submitted in the
printing and publishing sector decreased from
538 in 1995 to 483 in 1996, as shown in Table
8-12. Form As decreased from 12 to eight. (The
Form A certification statement is explained in
Chapter 1.)
On- and Off-site Releases
From 1995 to 1996, total on- and off-site releases
reported in the printing and publishing sector
decreased from 31.2 million pounds to 28.5
million pounds, an 8.6% reduction. This resulted
primarily from a 4.2 million-pound reduction in
fugitive air emissions (from 18.0 million pounds
in 1995 to 13.8 million pounds in 1996), partly
offset by a 1.5 million-pound increase in point-
source air emissions (from 13.1 million pounds to
14.6 million pounds). Table 8-12 presents the
sector's reporting of releases in 1995 and 1996.
For other types of releases—surface water
discharges, on-site land releases, and off-site
releases (transfers to disposal)—the change from
1995 to 1996 was less than 50,000 pounds for
each release type.
Figure 8-11 illustrates the 1995-1996 percentage
change in releases for the printing and publishing
sector.
Other On-site Waste Management
The printing and publishing sector reported
reductions in all three methods of on-site waste
management from 1995 to 1996. Total other on-
site waste management decreased from 255.1
million pounds to 230.4 million pounds, a 9.7%
reduction. The largest component of this change
was on-site recycling, which decreased from
187.7 million pounds to 168.5 million pounds (a
10.2% reduction). On-site treatment decreased
from 67.2 million pounds to 61.7 million pounds
(8.1%). Energy recovery, the on-site waste
management type reported in the smallest
amounts in this sector, decreased from 278,000
pounds to 204,000 pounds (26.7%).
Table 8-12 presents 1995-1996 on-site waste
management data for the printing and publishing
sector.

As shown in Table 8-12, the printing and
publishing sector also reported reductions in all
types of transfers off-site for further waste
management from 1995 to 1996. Transfers off-
site for further waste management totaled 10.1
million pounds in 1995 and 7.9 million pounds in
1996, a 21.1% reduction. The transfer type with
the largest reduction, in both pounds and percent,
was recycling. Transfers to recycling decreased
from 5.6 million pounds to 3.6 million pounds, a
34.7% decrease. Other transfer types decreased
by less than 125,000 pounds each.
Changes in SIC Codes
As indicated in facility descriptions below, some
facilities report different SIC codes over time.
This may reflect new or discontinued lines of
production, or it may represent a different
understanding of how SIC code designations
relate to a facility's business activities. These
changes can contribute—sometimes largely—to
apparent increases or decreases across
comparison years in the amounts reported by the
four-digit, or even two-digit, SIC codes.

1988-1996 TRI Data for Printing and
Publishing
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRI baseline year to the current year rely on
the list of "core" TRI chemicals that were
reportable with the same reporting definition in all
years. These multi-year comparisons also review
only the data elements that were collected in all
years, which excludes from this section any
analysis that distinguishes RCRA subtitle C
landfills from other land releases as well as analysis
based on the types of underground injection wells.
On-site waste management data and transfers off-
site to recycling and to energy recovery have been
collected only since 1991; these data are included,
but cannot be compared across the full 1988-1996
period.
The printing and publishing sector reported 61.2
million pounds of total on- and off-site releases in
1988 and 28.3 million pounds of total releases in
1996, as shown in Table 8-13. This reduction of
53.8%, or 32.9 million pounds, was attributable
almost entirely to air emissions. In addition, the
sector reported a 53.5% reduction in air emissions,
from 60.6 million pounds in 1988 to 28.2 million
pounds in 1996. Decreases were reported in both
fugitive and point-source emissions.
Other on-site releases decreased by large
percentages (66.6% to 100.0%) from 1988 to 1996,
but these represented small absolute amounts, as
shown in Table 8-13.
Off-site releases (transfers to disposal) decreased
82.9%, from 493,000 pounds to 84,000 pounds,
over the 1988-1996 period.
Figure 8-12 illustrates the percentage changes in
releases by release type for the printing and
publishing sector.

168.4 million pounds in 1996, a decrease of 19.0
million pounds. Energy recovery decreased from
264,000 pounds to 199,000 pounds.
For the two transfer types reported for the full
1988-1996 comparison period, the printing and
publishing sector reported decreases of more than
90%. The sector reported a decrease in transfers to
treatment from 4.5 million pounds in 1988 to
377,000 pounds in 1996. The sector reported a
decrease in transfers to POTWs from 1.8 million
pounds in 1988 to 160,000 pounds in 1996. These
data also appear in Table 8-13.
1988-1996 Data for Four-Digit Industries in
Printing and Publishing
Tables 8-14 through 8-16 summarize data for 1988
and 1994-1996 for industries at the four-digit SIC
code level within SIC code 27. The tables present,
respectively, on- and off-site releases, other on-site
On-site waste management and transfers off-site for
recycling or energy recovery were not collected hi
1988. For the 1994-1996 period, other on-site waste
management increased from 196.6 million pounds
to 229.7 million pounds, as shown in Table 8-13.
This 33.1 million-pound increase reflected an
apparent increase in on-site treatment from 9.0
million pounds to 61.2 million pounds (an increase
of 52.1 million pounds). However, for one
facility—a commercial lithographic and gravure
printer filing multiple SIC codes 2752 and 2754—
some forms for 1994 were not entered into the
system due to an EPA error. This facility filed a
1994 report for 48.5 million pounds of on-site
treatment of toluene. If this amount were included,
the sector's increase in on-site treatment would be
3.6 million pounds and total other on-site waste
management would show a decrease of 15.4 million
pounds.
The printing and publishing sector reported on-site
recycling of 187.3 million pounds in 1994 and

waste management, and transfers off-site for further
waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
Table 8-14 provides release data for all four-digit
SIC codes in the printing and publishing sector,
from 1988 to 1996. The commercial gravure
printing industry (SIC jsode 2754) reported the
largest 1988-1996 decrease in total on- and off-site
releases, from 31.6 million pounds to 17.2 million
pounds. The multiple-codes group ranked second
for decreases, reporting 17.3 million pounds in
1988 and 8.6 million pounds in 1996. Commercial
lithographic printing (SIC code 2752) ranked third,
with 2.8 million pounds in 1988 and 956,000
pounds in 1996. In all three industries, reductions
occurred principally in reporting of air emissions,
with smaller decreases in off-site releases (transfers
to disposal).
Platemaking services (SIC code 2796) reported the
largest increase in total releases, from 83,000
pounds in 1988 to 125,000 pounds in 1996.
Increases in this industry were reported in air
emissions, on-site land releases, and off-site
releases (transfers to disposal). However, this
industry's reported releases have decreased in
recent years. Two other printing and publishing
industries reported increases from 1988 to 1996. No
TRI forms were submitted in bookbinding and
related work (SIC code 2789) in 1988, while
18,000 pounds of releases were reported in this
industry in 1996. The periodicals publishing
industry (SIC code 2721) reported 3,000 pounds in
1988 and 15,000 pounds in 1996. Both industries
reported only air emissions in the years compared
in Table 8-14.
Other On-site Waste Management
The commercial gravure printing industry (SIC
code 2754) reported the largest decrease in on-site
waste management in the printing and publishing
sector from 1994 to 1996 (on-site waste
management data were not collected in 1988). This
industry reported 126.9 million pounds of other on-
site waste management in 1994 and 115.3 million
pounds in 1996. Reductions were reported in all
three types of waste management, although on-site
recycling and total on-site waste management were
larger (128.3 million pounds and 133.5 million
pounds) in 1995.
Platemaking services (SIC code 2796) ranked
second for decreases in other on-site waste
management, reporting 1.7 million pounds in 1994
and 896,000 pounds in 1996. This industry also
reported a larger sum in 1995 (1.8 million pounds).
Decreases were reported in on-site recycling and
treatment. Ranking third for decreases, the
manifold business forms industry (SIC code 2761)
reported 23,000 pounds of on-site recycling in
1994, but submitted no TRI forms in 1995 or 1996.
The multiple-codes group reported the largest
increase in on-site waste management for the
printing and publishing sector for 1994 to 1996, but
these numbers reflect the reporting problem
described hi "1988-1996 TRI Data for Printing and
Publishing," above. When data are adjusted for that
reporting problem, commercial lithographic
printing (SIC code 2752) ranked first for increases.
This industry reported 479,000 pounds in 1994 and
760,000 pounds in 1996, with most of the increase
occurring in on-site treatment. The second-largest
increase was reported in miscellaneous commercial
printing industries (SIC code 2759), with 797,000
pounds in 1994 and 982,000 pounds in 1996.
Increases in all three waste management types
contributed to this overall increase, although on-site
recycling decreased from 1995 to 1996. The book
printing industry (SIC code 2732) ranked third with
an increase from 25,000 pounds in 1994 to 54,000
pounds in 1996. Nearly all of this increase was
reported in on-site treatment.
On-site waste management data for 1994-1996
appear in Table 8-15.

Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The multiple-codes group reported the largest
decrease in transfers off-site for further waste
management in printing and publishing for 1994-
1996 (data for some types of off-site transfers were
not collected in 1988). Multiple-codes forms
reported 4.7 million pounds of transfers off-site for
further waste management in 1994 and 2.7 million
pounds in 1996. Transfers to recycling were the
largest factor in this reduction.
The platemaking services industry (SIC code
2796), ranking second for decreases, reported
895,000 pounds of transfers off-site for further
waste management in 1994 and 502,000 pounds in
1996. All types of transfers showed decreases, with
the largest reduction appearing in transfers to
recycling. The third-largest decrease was recorded
in the commercial gravure printing industry (SIC
code 2754), which reported 3.61 million pounds in
1994, 3.65 million pounds in 1995, and 3.48
million pounds in 1996.
The commercial lithographic printing industry (SIC
code 2752) reported the largest increase for the
1994-to-1996 period, from 526,000 pounds to
741,000 pounds. Increases were reported in all
transfer types except transfers to treatment.
Ranking second for increases, the book printing
industry (SIC code 2732) reported 37,000 pounds
in 1994 and 51,000 pounds in 1996. Increases were
reported in transfers to recycling and to treatment.
283
-------
Chapter 8 — TRI Data for Printing and Publishing
Bookbinding and related work (SIC code 2789)
ranked third for transfers off-site for further waste
management, as this industry reported no amounts
in 1994 and 5,000 pounds in 1996. The 1996
amount included transfers to treatment and to
POTWs.
Table 8-16 presents the sector's transfers off-site
for further waste management for 1988-1996.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Releases. 1988-1996
Quebecor Printing, Inc., in Dickson, Tennessee
(SIC code 2754), ranked first in increases with an
overall 1.7 million-pound increase. Toluene
reporting constituted 100% of the increase. A
gravure printer, this facility produces newspaper
supplements. Toluene is a common ink solvent in
gravure printing. The chemical is used to thin inks
to a usable viscosity and is later allowed to
evaporate off the printed material, resulting in air
emissions. The increase in toluene air emissions is
due to increased production, according to the
facility contact. Quebecor Printing in Dickson also
ranked as the third largest decreaser hi waste
managed (see Facilities with Large Increases and
Decreases in Waste Management, 1991-1996,
below).
World Color Press, Inc., in Dyersburg, Tennessee
(SIC code 2752 and 2753 in 1988 and 2752 and
2754 in 1996), was second in increases with 1.3
million pounds. The facility installed its first
gravure printing press in 1988 and did not come
into full production until 1989. Since 1989, two
additional presses have been installed.
Consequently, toluene reporting was low in 1988
compared to subsequent years. Toluene, used as an
ink solvent, accounted for all of the facility's
increase. The facility reported a 1.2 million-pound
increase in toluene fugitive emissions between
1988 and 1996.
Quebecor Printing in Richmond, Virginia (SIC
code 2754), ranked third with an overall 861,000
pound increase. Like the other two top facilities for
increases, air emissions of toluene are primarily
responsible for the ranking of this gravure printing
facility. The change in reporting was due to a
production increase. Two presses were installed at
the facility between 1988 and 1996. The facility
prints newspaper supplements.
R.R. Donnelley & Sons, Company in Warsaw,
Indiana (SIC code 2754), was first in decreases
with 2.4 million pounds. Toluene reporting
accounted for 95% of this facility's reduction. A
gravure printer, R.R. Donnelly in Warsaw reduced
toluene air emissions by implementing "permanent
total enclosure" systems whereby solvent fumes are
more efficiently captured. The captured solvents
are then sent to recovery systems where they are
recycled for reuse. This facility prints catalogs.
R.R. Donnelly & Sons Company in Mattoon,
Illinois (SIC codes 2752 and 2754), ranked second
in decreases with 2.0 million pounds. Again,
toluene was the major contributor to this magazine
printer's release reduction, accounting for 97% of
the overall decrease. This facility cited improved
solvent capture systems and improved process
efficiency through equipment enhancements as the
major reasons for decreased toluene releases.
R.R. Donnelly & Sons Company in Gallatin,
Tennessee (SIC code 2754), was third for decreases
of releases with 1.5 million pounds. Reductions in
toluene emissions at this facility accounted for 97%
of the overall decrease. Another gravure printer of
catalogs, the facility also identified equipment
enhancements as the major contributor to the
reduction. In gravure printing, ink is transferred to
paper by cylinders that are either made of copper or
wrapped in copper plates. The copper is etched,
creating wells that carry ink. Changes in how the
copper was etched resulted in a reduction of ink
usage, according to the facility contact. Conse-
quently, toluene usage decreased.

Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which have
been identified as reporting errors or plant closures.
Because these are errors or plant closures and not
actual changes in the data, these facilities are not
discussed in detail here. There are three such
facilities in the printing and publishing sector:
Maxwell Communications Corporation,
Broadview, Illinois, decrease of 4.2 million
pounds, plant closure.
R.R. Donnelly & Sons Company, Chicago,
Illinois, decrease of 2.0 million pounds, plant
closure.
Standard Gravure Corporation, Louisville,
Kentucky, decrease of 2.8 million pounds, plant
closure.

Chapter 8 — TRI Data for Printing and Publishing
waste reported in the printing and publishing sector
increased from 259.9 million pounds to 265.1
million pounds, a 2.0% increase.
The largest increase was reported in on-site
treatment, from 28.4 million pounds in 1991 to 61.2
million pounds in 1996. As discussed in "1988-
1996 TRI Data for Printing and Publishing," above,
some forms for reporting year 1994 for one facility
were not entered into the system due to an EPA
error. This reporting problem accounts for the
apparent increase in on-site treatment from 1994 to
1995 in Table 8-17, but has no effect on the overall
1991-1996 analysis.
The sector reported a relatively small increase in
on-site energy recovery, from 155,000 in 1991
pounds to 199,000 pounds in 1996. This was the
only other type of waste management with an
increase for 1991-1996.
The largest reduction was reported in quantities
released on- and off-site, from 45.0 million pounds
to 26.2 million pounds. On-site recycling also
decreased, from 173.3 million pounds to 168.4
million pounds. All three types of off-site waste
management decreased: recycling from 6.2 million
pounds to 4.9 million pounds; energy recovery
from 5.1 million pounds to 3.7 million pounds; and
treatment from 1.7 million pounds to 530,000
pounds.
Figure 8-13 illustrates the percentage changes in
waste management methods reported by the
printing and publishing sector for 1991-1996.
TRI facilities report absolute amounts of waste
managed and environmental releases, not amounts
adjusted for changes in production levels. The
printing and publishing sector's reporting of total
production-related waste increased, while
production decreased. However, changes in
amounts reported for the various waste
management options indicate that the sector has
made some progress in improving its management
of TRI chemicals in waste, as measured by the
waste management hierarchy (explained in Chapter
1). Most production-related waste reported in this
sector was recycled. Although the proportion of
total production-related waste that was recycled
declined somewhat from 1991 to 1996, the
proportion of this waste that was released decreased
more substantially. The difference was taken up by
treatment (this is not affected by the 1994 reporting
problem identified above). In terms of the
hierarchy, recycling is the preferred option for
managing TRI chemicals in waste that cannot be
prevented. Although treatment is less desirable than
recycling, it is still preferable to releasing such
chemicals to the environment.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Waste Management, 1991-1996
Quad/Graphics, Inc., in Lomira, Wisconsin (SIC
code 2572 and 2754), ranked first in increases of
waste managed with a total of 31.3 million pounds.
The facility is a solvent-based publications printer
and prints materials ranging from coupons to
magazines and catalogs. Reported on-site treatment
of toluene increased 31.2 million pounds between
1991 and 1996. Production doubled at the plant
after the installation of new presses between 1993
and 1996.
Brown Printing Company in Franklin, Kentucky
(SIC code 2754), was second in increases with 7.8
million pounds. Reported on-site recycling of
toluene accounted for nearly all of the facility's
increase. This facility, now owned by Quebecor
Printing, manufactures magazines, catalogs, and
newspaper inserts. The increase in toluene
reporting was the result of the addition of two
presses.
World Color in Evans, Georgia (SIC code 2754),
was third in increases with 4.3 million pounds.
Toluene reported in on-site recycling increased 4.2
million pounds between 1991 and 1996 (95% of the
overall increase). A gravure printer of catalogs,
World Color installed a press that was, at the time

ink solvent increased by one-third.
Quebecor Printing Memphis, Inc., in Glen Burnie,
Maryland (SIC code 2754), ranked first in
decreases with an overall 10.1 million-pound
decrease. Toluene reporting accounted for 95% of
the overall decrease. On-site recycling of toluene
decreased by 8.3 million pounds between 1991 and
1996. A printer of newspaper inserts, the facility
cited three reasons for the decrease: first, one press
was removed from operation, reducing production
capacity by approximately 20%; second, overall
production concurrently decreased; and third,
toluene content of ink solvent was reduced.
Quebecor Printing Memphis, Inc., in Memphis,
Tennessee (SIC code 2754), was second in
decreases with an overall 5.9 million pound
decrease. Toluene was responsible for 87% of the
overall decrease. The facility contact stated that the
primary reason for reductions in toluene reporting
was a reduction in toluene content of the facility's
ink solvent.
Quebecor Printing, Inc., in Dickson, Tennessee
(SIC code 2754), was third in decreases with an
overall 5.2 million-pound decrease. Toluene
accounted for 97% of the decrease. Although the
facility contacts stated that this facility had
undergone a production increase and improvements
in their solvent recovery systems, the amount of
toluene reported in on-site recycling decreased by
5.0 million pounds between 1991 and 1996. Two

Toxics Release Inventory Data
for Rubber and Plastics Products
(SIC Code 30)
A Look at the Rubber and
Miscellaneous Plastics
Products Industry (SIC
Code 30)
The rubber and plastics products industry (SIC
code 30) manufactures miscellaneous products
from natural, synthetic, or reclaimed rubber or from
plastics resins. Box 9-1 lists Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes and their designations
for this sector. In TRI, SIC codes are given as
reported by the facilities; these may differ from
information in economic and other data collections.
Manufacturing activity in this sector is closely
related to work performed in other industrial
sectors. Plastics materials (resins) and synthetic
rubbers, which are important raw materials for this
sector, are classified as chemical products in SIC
code 28. Many products made of rubber and
plastics, from boats to buttons, are classified
elsewhere, based on the type of object or end use
rather than the material from which they are made.
This sector, SIC code 30, covers some types of
rubber and plastics products with end uses—for
example, tires, plastic bottles, and numerous other
products made from both kinds of materials. It also
makes semi-finished plastics (in the group
designated by SIC code 308)—shaped plastics
(rods or tubes, for example) or plastics plate or
sheet—that are used in manufacturing other
products. Plants that produce both the resins and
the plastics sheet or shapes are categorized in this
sector (in SIC code 308). Most miscellaneous
rubber products (SIC code 306) are used by other
sectors such as automobile manufacturing and
service industries like hospitals.
Manufacturers in the rubber and plastics products
sector produced shipments valued at $150.47
billion in 1996, up from $145.74 billion in 1995
(both in current dollars). Employment in this sector
has steadily increased over the last decade and was
just over 1.0 million in both years. The rubber and
plastics products sector has seen rapid growth in the
1990s. Only electrical equipment (SIC code 36),
which includes computer components such as
circuit boards, and industrial machinery (SIC code
35) expanded more rapidly. Rubber and plastics
products manufacturing increased by one third from
1989 to 1996, nearly twice the U.S. average for all
manufacturing (see Chapter 1, Table 1-10).

Chapter 9 — TRI Data for Rubber and Plastics Products
In 1996, miscellaneous plastics production (SIC
code 308, at the three-digit SIC code level)
represented three-quarters of the sector's
shipments, $112.62 billion, and three-quarters of
the sector's employment, 763,000 employees.
Among the industries producing rubber products,
two—tires and inner tubes (SIC code 301) and
miscellaneous fabricated rubber products (SIC
306)—each contributed more than $14 billion in
shipments. Employment in the miscellaneous
fabricated rubber products industry (122,000) was
about double that of the tire producers (65,000).
Plastics Products
Steps in making products out of plastics materials
vary. Generally, resins in the form of pellets,
granules, powders, sheets, fluids, or "preforms" are
molded into shapes or parts. Additives are common
and are used to influence characteristics such as
plasticity and brittleness, color, electrical
conductivity (to reduce electrostatic charges),
stability against the effects of heat or oxidation, and
others. Some plants use plastics pellets already
containing such additives, while others add them
on-site. Molding processes include injection,
extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming, rotational
molding, compression molding, casting, and
calendaring (squeezing or pressing). Foam plastics
undergo similar processes, but chemical blowing
agents, air, pressurized gases, or liquids that boil at
low temperatures are added to create the cellular
foam structures.
Generally, in the manufacture of plastics products,
solvent cleaning and finishing processes contribute
the bulk of the emissions of toxic substances to air.
Additives, including metals such as cadmium and
lead, may also be released during mixing or, under
conditions of high heat or pressure, in the molding
process. Plastics mixing processes are also a source
of styrene releases.
Rubber Products
Common processes in the manufacture of rubber
products begin with mixing, which covers both
mixing of polymers (raw and/or synthetic rubber),
carbon black (filler), oils, and miscellaneous
chemical aids or agents, and forming the rubber
into preliminary sheets. Some plants purchase
already mixed uncured rubber. Further steps in the
process include milling the sheets in preparation for
further processing; extruding and calendaring
(squeezing through a press) into various shapes or
thin sheets; building the rubber with reinforcing
materials (wire, polyester, etc.) with or without
adhesives; vulcanizing (or curing); and finishing by
grinding, printing, washing, buffing, and other
techniques.
In the manufacture of rubber, air emissions of toxic
chemicals occur primarily during preparation of
mixing components and the building phase when
reinforcing materials are added. Metals are
common ingredients of the mixture, notably zinc
compounds used as a processing aid, accelerator,
activator, and/or age resistor.
1996 TRI Data for Rubber
and Plastics Products
Table 9-1 summarizes TRI reporting by the rubber
and plastics products sector for 1996. A total of
3,747 forms were submitted in this sector. Of these,
9.2% were Form A certification statements,
certifying that a facility's total annual reportable
amount of a TRI chemical was less than 500
pounds for the year and that the facility did not
manufacture, process, or otherwise use more than 1
million pounds. (The Form A certification
statement is explained in Chapter 1.)

*nec: not elsewhere classified.
One quarter of all forms in this sector (952 forms)
were submitted in the miscellaneous plastics
products industry (SIC code 3089). Another 521
came from the plastics foam products industry (SIC
code 3086), and 476 from miscellaneous fabricated
rubber products (SIC code 3069). Together, these
three industries represented more than half of all
forms in the sector.
These were also the top industries for on- and off-
site releases in this sector, which totaled 116.4
million pounds, as shown in Table 9-1.
Miscellaneous plastics products ranked first, with
34.6 million pounds of total releases, followed by
plastics foam products with 31.3 million pounds. In
both cases, the great majority of the releases were
reported on-site. No other industry in this sector
totaled more than 10 million pounds in on- and off-
site releases. Miscellaneous fabricated rubber
products, which ranked third, had 9.3 million
pounds. The same two industries that had the
largest total releases also had the largest amounts of
on-site releases, but plastics plumbing fixtures (SIC
code 3088) was third (with 7.9 million pounds) in
this category.
Tires and inner tubes (SIC code 3011) accounted
for the largest off-site releases (transfers to
disposal) with 2.58 million pounds, closely
followed by miscellaneous plastics products (SIC
code 3089) with 2.56 million pounds.
Miscellaneous fabricated rubber products (SIC
code 3069) was third with 1.8 million pounds.
For the most part, industries with large quantities of
production-related waste were different from those
with the largest releases. Production-related waste
in this sector totaled 369.8 million pounds in 1996.
The rubber and plastics hose and belting industry
(SIC code 3052) reported the largest amount, 97.8
million pounds. Miscellaneous plastics products
(SIC code 3089) was second with 72.9 million

pounds, and unsupported plastics film and sheet
(SIC code 3081) was third with 50.5 million
pounds. Although miscellaneous plastics also
ranked high for releases (ranking first), the first and
third industries for total production-related waste
were ninth and eighth, respectively, for releases.
The same three industries reported the largest other
on-site waste management quantities: rubber and
plastics hose and belting with 92.7 million pounds,
unsupported plastics film and sheet second with
36.2 million pounds, and miscellaneous plastics
products third with 30.6 million pounds.
Altogether, other on-site waste management totaled
220.7 million pounds in SIC code 30.
One facility in the rubber and plastics hose and
belting industry (SIC code 3052) accounted for a
great majority of the sector's on-site recycling,
reporting 89.2 million pounds for lead compounds
in 1996. This large amount similarly influenced the
sector's data for on-site waste management and
total production-related waste. This facility has
made a substantial reduction in its on-site recycling
of this chemical since 1995, described in "Faculties
with Large Increases and Decreases in Waste
Management, 1991-1996" later in this chapter.
Miscellaneous plastics products (SIC code 3089)
reported 6.2 million pounds of transfers off-site for
further waste management, out of 24.7 million
pounds for the sector. This was the only category in
which facilities that reported more than one SIC
code in SIC code 30 to describe their
manufacturing activities ranked high. TRI forms in
this "multiple-code" category, explained below,
were second for transfers off-site for further waste
management with 3.9 million pounds. Unsupported
plastics film and sheet (SIC code 3081) was third
with 2.6 million pounds.

Chapter 9 — TRI Data for Rubber and Plastics Products
Multiple SIC Codes in SIC Code 30
Some facilities in the rubber and plastics products
sector manufacture products in similar but distinct
categories, as designated in the Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) scheme. For example, a facility
may manufacture both rubber and plastics hose and
belting (SIC code 3052) and miscellaneous
fabricated rubber products (SIC code 3069).
Another facility may produce plastics foam
products (SIC code 3086) and miscellaneous
plastics products (SIC code 3089). Such facilities
may report multiple SIC codes on their TRI forms
to describe their operations. (Box 1-5 hi Chapter 1
further explains reporting of multiple SIC codes
and its affect on the analyses presented in the TRI
data release.)
In the rubber and plastics products sector, 321
forms were submitted hi 1996 with more than one
SIC code within SIC code 30, a little less than 10%
of the total forms submitted. Table 9-2 examines
TRI reporting from these forms. The most frequent
combination was custom compounding of
purchased resins (SIC code 3087) and
miscellaneous plastics products (SIC code 3089),
reported on 30 forms. Two combinations appeared
on 27 forms each. One such combination was
unsupported plastics film and sheet (SIC code
3081) and laminated plastics plate and sheet (SIC
code 3083), and the other combined miscellaneous
fabricated rubber products (SIC code 3069) and
miscellaneous plastics products (SIC code 3089).
The combination of miscellaneous fabricated
rubber products (SIC code 3069) and custom
compounding of purchased resins (SIC code 3087)
was reported on 26 forms.
The multiple-forms codes reported total on- and
off-site releases of 6.8 million pounds, other on-site
waste management of 10.8 million pounds,
transfers off-site for further waste management of
3.9 million pounds, and total production-related
waste of 21.4 million pounds. Forms reporting
gaskets, packing, and sealing devices (SIC code
3053) and mechanical rubber goods (SIC code
3061) reported the largest total on- and off-site
releases among multiple-codes groups in SIC code
30, with 1.6 million pounds. Forms reporting both
unsupported plastics film and sheet (SIC code
3081) and laminated plastics plate and sheet (SIC
code 3083) reported the largest total production-
related waste, with 5.9 million pounds. These data
are shown in Table 9-2.
On- and Off-site Releases
As shown in Table 9-3, air emissions reported by
the rubber and plastics products sector totaled 105.3
million pounds, 90.5% of the sector's releases.
More than half the air emissions came from two
industries: miscellaneous plastics products (SIC
code 3089) with 31.8 million pounds and plastics
foam products (SIC code 3086) with 30.8 million
pounds. As noted in the discussion of chemicals
later in this chapter, the miscellaneous plastics
products industry reported air emissions primarily
of carbon disulfide and styrene, while the plastics
foam industry reported large amounts of air emis-
sions of dichloromethane.
Other types of on-site releases in this sector were
much smaller, ranging from 398,000 pounds for
land releases (other than RCRA subtitle C landfills)
to 750 pounds for underground injection. Off-site
releases (transfers to disposal) were 10.6 million.
As noted above, tire manufacture (SIC code 3011)
and miscellaneous plastics products (SIC code
3089) each reported 2.6 million pounds of such
transfers. The bulk of the transfers to disposal by
the tire and inner tube industry consisted of zinc
compounds (2.3 million pounds). For the
miscellaneous plastics products industry, the
chemical with the largest transfers to disposal was
styrene (2.1 million pounds).

on-site recycling totaled 162.1 million pounds,
nearly three quarters of the on-site waste
management reported. More than half (55.7%) of
this amount, 90.3 million pounds, was reported in
the rubber and plastics hose and belting industry
(SIC code 3052), primarily by one facility as noted
above.
Other methods of on-site waste management had
considerably smaller amounts. Treatment totaled
39.0 million pounds, led by miscellaneous plastics
products (SIC code 3089) with 13.7 million pounds
and unsupported plastics film and sheet (SIC code
3081) with 12.9 million pounds. Energy recovery
on-site totaled 19.6 million pounds, and half of this
amount (10.6 million pounds) was reported by the
laminated plastics plate and sheet industry (SIC
code 3083).

200 forms each: Texas with 208 and Illinois with 203.
States with the largest on- and off-site releases were
Indiana with 12.7 million pounds and Tennessee
with 12.5 million pounds. Hlmois was third with
10.6 million pounds. The three accounted for a little
over 30% of total on-and off-site releases in the
rubber and plastics products sector.
By far the largest other on-site waste management
was reported in Kansas: 102.4 million pounds or
46.4% of the total on-site waste management in this
sector. Kansas is the location of the facility with the
largest on-site recycling reported in this sector,
which accounted for 89.2 million pounds of the
on-site waste management reported in this sector.
The state with the second-largest reported amount
of on-site waste management was Kentucky with
14.5 million pounds, followed by three states with

Texas, 10.3 million pounds.
Amounts transferred off-site for further waste
management were largest in Ohio, with 3.2 million
pounds and Arkansas with 2.9 million pounds. No
other state had more than 2 million pounds of such
transfers.
Total production-related waste was 103.9 million
pounds in Kansas, reflecting the large quantity of
on-site recycling by one facility. Indiana had 22.3
million pounds and Kentucky 17.3 million pounds.
Another 10 states had total production- related
waste of amounts ranging from 11 million to 16
million pounds, indicating the geographic diversity
of the sector.

1996 TRl Data by
Chemical for Rubber and
Plastics Products
Air emissions were the primary release type for 13
of the top 15 chemicals for total on- and off-site
releases in this sector. This is consistent with the
role of air emissions in the rubber and plastics
products sector as a whole, as discussed above. As
shown in Table 9-7, more dichloromethane was
released to air in the rubber and plastics products
sector than any other chemical, with 24.9 million
pounds. This made dichloromethane the chemical

with the largest on-site releases and the largest
total on- and off-site releases. The largest
industrial source of dichloromethane releases in
this sector was the plastics foam products
industry (SIC code 3086), with 23.3 million
pounds. Dichloromethane serves as a blowing
agent in production of plastics foam.
Styrene ranked second in air emissions, on-site
releases, off-site releases, and total releases; it
also had the largest on-site land releases. Carbon
disulfide ranked third for total releases, almost
exclusively as air emissions These chemicals
were reported in large amounts by producers of
miscellaneous plastics products (SIC code 3089).
This industry reported 10.2 million pounds of air
emissions of styrene and 2.1 million pounds in
off-site releases (transfers to disposal). Styrene is
a component of many plastics production
processes, including fiberglass. All reported
releases of carbon disulfide in this sector
originated in the miscellaneous plastics products
industry, although the chemical has uses in rubber
production as well.
Off-site releases (transfers to disposal) were led by
zinc compounds, with 4.8 million pounds. This was
also the chemical with the largest surface water
discharges (12,000 pounds). The manufacture of
rubber products often relies on zinc compounds for
several purposes, such as processing aid and
vulcanizing accelerator. Among the top 15 chemicals,
only zinc compounds and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate
had off-site releases larger than on-site releases.
OSHA Carcinogens
In the rubber and plastics sector, on- and off-site
releases of chemicals designated as OSHA
carcinogens totaled 51.0 million pounds in 1996, as
shown in Table 9-8. This represented 43.8% of all
releases in this sector. (OSHA carcinogens and the
bases for their designation appear in Box 1-9 in
Chapter 1.) Consistent with the pattern of releases in

this sector, 92.1% (46.9 million pounds) of these
releases were air emissions.
Plastics foam products (SIC code 3086) reported
the largest total releases of the OSHA carcinogens,
23.5 million pounds. The miscellaneous plastics
products industry group (SIC code 3089) had 13.6
million pounds, and plastics plumbing fixtures (SIC
code 3088) reported 7.9 million pounds.
The top two chemicals for total releases in this
sector, dichloromethane and styrene, are both
OSHA carcinogens. Total releases for these
chemicals were 24.9 million pounds and 22.5
million pounds, respectively (see Table 9-7).
Releases of other OHSA carcinogens were reported
in smaller amounts: One other TRI chemical among
the top 15 chemicals released in this sector was an
OSHA carcinogen. This was di-(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate (1.5 million pounds). The OSHA
carcinogen with the next-largest releases was
trichloroethylene (918,000 pounds).
Figure 9-7 shows the on- and off-site releases of the
four-digit SIC codes with the largest OSHA
carcinogen releases.
1996 TRI Chemicals in
Waste for Rubber and
Plastics Products
Table 9-9 and Figure 9-8 present 1996 waste
management data for the industries in rubber and
plastics products manufacturing. Production-related
waste totaled 369.8 million pounds in 1996. The
industry within the sector with the largest on-site
waste management was rubber and plastics hose
and belting (SIC code 3052). Of the 97.8 million
pounds of production-related waste reported in this
industry, 90.3 million pounds was on-site recycling
and 89.2 million pounds of this was reported by one
facility, as noted throughout this chapter.

Other reporting of production-related waste was
somewhat more diverse. Miscellaneous plastics

laminated plastics plate and sheet (SIC code 3083)
reported the largest quantities of on-site energy

quantities treated off-site (1.2 million pounds).
Unsupported plastics film and sheet (SIC code

Chapter 9 — TRI Data for Rubber and Plastics Products
Projected Quantities of TRI
Chemicals in Waste
Reported amounts on TRI forms filed for 1996 in
the rubber and plastics products sector projected
that total production-related waste would decrease
by 90.0 million pounds, or nearly one fourth
(24.3%), by reporting year 1998. As shown in
Table 9-10, the largest percentage reduction,
53.6%, was expected in on-site recycling; this
would be a decrease of 86.8 million pounds. This
reflects further reductions anticipated by the facility
reporting the largest amount of on-site recycling.
Table 9-10 shows current year and projected waste
management data, and percentage changes are
illustrated in Figure 9-10. (As explained in Chapter
1, facilities not only report current data but project
waste management quantities for the next two years
in their TRI submissions.)
The quantity released on- and off-site was also
projected to decline, by 16.9 million pounds or
14.6%. Such releases constituted nearly one-third
(31.3%) of total production-related waste in this
sector in 1996. Despite the projected decrease,
quantities released would form a larger proportion
(35.3%) of production-related waste in 1998,
because of the much larger drop in on-site
recycling. This sector reports releasing a greater
proportion of production-related waste than do
many others.
Increases were projected in most other types of
waste management in this sector, although the
quantities involved are smaller. In particular,
on-site energy recovery and treatment were
projected to increase (by 10.0% and 27.4%,
respectively).
These projected changes suggest that the sector
does not expect to improve its management of TRI
chemicals in waste, as measured against the waste
management hierarchy. In that hierarchy, as
explained in Chapter 1, recycling is the preferred
management option for waste that is not prevented
or cannot be prevented in the first place. The least
desirable option is releasing the chemical to the
environment. In these terms, projections in the
rubber and plastics products sector indicate that less
desirable performance is expected.
Source Reduction Activity
Of the 3,747 forms submitted in the rubber and
plastics products sector, 800 reported source
reduction activity during 1996. Table 9-11 shows
the number of forms and categories of source
reduction activity by four-digit SIC code. Rubber
and plastics footwear manufacturers (SIC code
3021) had the highest percentage (64.5%) of forms
indicating source reduction activity. In several
industries, 25% to 35% of the forms reported such
activities. Miscellaneous fabricated rubber products
(SIC code 3069) and miscellaneous plastics
products (SIC code 3089), which accounted for a
substantial proportion of the sector's releases, had
about 21% of forms with source reduction activity.
Good operating practices was the category most
often reported (289 forms). Two others were also
cited on more than 200 forms each: raw material
modifications (241 forms) and process
modifications (207 forms). Such modifications
often represent more innovative pollution
prevention projects.
Year-to-Year
Comparisons for Rubber
and Plastics Products
1995-1996 TRI Data for Rubber and
Plastics Products
Although the number of forms submitted in the
rubber and plastics products sector dropped 4.4%
from 1995 to 1996, the number of Form A
certification statements increased 15.9%, as shown
in Table 9-12. (The Form A certification statement
is explained in Chapter 1.) This may reflect more
widespread awareness of the Form A certification
statement in its second year of availability.

On- and Off-site Releases
Releases on- and off-site decreased by 8.5% from
1995 to 1996, a decrease of 10.8 million pounds
(see Table 9-12). This was largely the result of a
corresponding decrease in air emissions (8.3%, or
9.5 million pounds), as would be expected with air
emissions playing such a dominant role in the
sector's releases. The reduction in releases to air
came about equally from fugitive (4.8 million
pounds) and point (4.7 million pounds) sources.
Off-site releases (transfers to disposal) decreased
10.6%, or 1.3 million pounds. Other release types
showed large percentage changes, as illustrated in
Figure 9-11, but these represent smaller absolute
amounts. On-site land releases increased 46.7%, or
142,000 pounds.

Other On-site Waste Management
Table 9-12 also shows the changes from 1995 to
1996 in other on-site waste management for the
rubber and plastics products sector. The largest
change occurred in on-site recycling, which
decreased by nearly half (48.0%, or 149.3 million
pounds). This change was attributable to one
facility that recorded a large reduction in on-site
recycling of lead compounds, as discussed in
"Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases in
Waste Management, 1991-1996" later in this
chapter.
On-site energy recovery and treatment also
declined and, overall, other on-site waste
management decreased 42.0% (159.7 million
pounds) in the rubber and plastics products sector
for 1995-1996.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
As with releases and other on-site waste
management, transfers off-site for further waste
management decreased from 1995 to 1996 in this
sector. As shown in Table 9-12, the net decrease
was 24.9%, or 8.2 million pounds. Transfers to
recycling decreased by 39.5%, or 7.7 million
pounds. A smaller reduction occurred in transfers to
energy recovery, while the other off-site transfer
types showed small increases.
Changes in SIC Codes
As indicated in facility descriptions below, some
facilities report different SIC codes over time. This
may reflect new or discontinued lines of
production, or it may represent a different
313
-------
Chapter 9 — TRl Data for Rubber and Plastics Products
understanding of how SIC code designations relate
to a facility's business activities. These changes can
contribute—sometimes largely—to apparent
increases or decreases across comparison years in
the amounts reported by the four-digit, or even
two-digit, SIC codes.
1988-1996 TRl Data for Rubber and
Plastics Products
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRl baseline year to the current year rely on
the list of "core" TRl chemicals that were
reportable, with the same reporting definition, in all
years. These multi-year comparisons also review
only the data elements that were collected in all
years, which excludes from this section any
analysis that distinguishes RCRA subtitle C
landfills from other land releases as well as analysis
based on the types of underground injection wells.
On-site waste management data and transfers off-
site to recycling and to energy recovery have been
collected only since 1991; these data are included,
but cannot be compared across the full 1988-1996
period.
From 1988 to 1996, reporting of on- and off-site
releases of the "core" chemicals fell by one third
(33.4%) in this sector. This was a decrease of 53.0
million pounds. In both percentage and pounds, the
largest reduction occurred hi air emissions, 35.1%
or 51.4 million pounds. All release types decreased
over the period except for on-site land releases.
These data appear in Table 9-13. Figure 9-12
presents the percentage changes by release type.
On-site waste management and transfers off=site for
recycling or energy recovery were not collected in
1988. For the 1994-1996 period, all of these
categories showed decreases except on-site
treatment. The largest reduction, in both pounds
and percentage, occurred in on-site recycling,
which decreased from 302.3 million pounds to
160.1 million pounds, or 47.1%; again this relates
largely to a single facility.
For categories reported across the full 1988-1996
comparison period, transfers off-site to treatment
decreased 69.9%, or 6.4 million pounds, while
transfers to POTWs decreased 58.8%, or 777,000
pounds.
The number of forms filed in this sector increased
1.3% from 1988 to 1996, in contrast to the trend
across all sectors. This is because submissions hi
rubber and plastics manufacturing showed a larger
increase in the early years of TRl than was the case
for all sectors taken together.
As noted early in this chapter, this sector has
experienced pronounced growth through the 1990s.
Decreases in releases, other on-site waste
management, and transfers off-site for further waste
management since 1988 were accomplished even as
facilities expanded their production capacity and
new facilities came on line.
1988-1996 Data for Four-Digit Industries in
Rubber and Plastics Products
Tables 9-14 through 9-16 summarize data for 1988
and 1994-1996 for industries at the four-digit SIC
code level within SIC code 30. The tables present,
respectively, on- and off-site releases, other on-site
waste management, and transfers off-site for further
waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
The industry in the rubber and plastics products
sector with the largest decrease in on-and off-site
releases from 1988 to 1996 was miscellaneous
fabricated rubber products (SIC code 3069). This
industry's releases decreased 18.3 million pounds
(67.5%). Forms that reported multiple SIC codes
(explained earlier in this chapter) had total releases
that decreased 6.4 million pounds (50.4%) during
the comparison period. The industry with the third
largest decrease was tires and inner tubes (SIC code
3011), with a 2.2-million-pound decrease (42.4%).
These were all primarily reductions in air
emissions.

Note: Docs not include delisted chemicals, chemicals added in 1990,1991,1994, and 1995, and aluminum oxide, ammonia, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid.
On-sitc Releases from Section 5 of Form R and Off-site Releases from Section 6 (transfers off-site to disposal) of Form R. Breakdown of Underground
Injection and On-sitc Land Releases not required before 1996.
Three industries had increases in total releases of
more than 5 million pounds: plastics foam products
(SIC code 3086) with a 13.9-miUion-pound
increase (109.0%), plastics plumbing fixtures (SIC
code 3088) with 6.9 million pounds (649.7%), and
miscellaneous plastics products (SIC code 3089)
with 5.2 million pounds (18.3%). For producers of
foam products and plumbing fixtures, the net
increase arose largely from air emissions. For
miscellaneous plastics products, much of the
increase occurred in air emissions and, to a lesser
extent, in off-site releases (transfers to disposal).
However, air emissions in the miscellaneous
plastics products industry have been decreasing
over the last few years.
Table 9-14 provides release data for all four-digit
SIC codes in the rubber and plastics products
sector, for 1988-1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
Rubber and plastics hose and belting (SIC code
3052) had the largest decrease hi other on-site
waste management since 1994 (on-site waste
management data were not collected in 1988). This
was a decrease of 130.7 million pounds, or 58.5%,
which occurred principally in on-site recycling by
one facility. Miscellaneous plastics products (SIC
code 3089) was second with a decrease of 11.4
million pounds, or 36.7%, and miscellaneous

Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Producers of unsupported plastics film and sheet
(SIC code 3081) recorded the largest reduction in
transfers off-site for further waste management
since 1994 (data for some types of off-site transfers
were not collected in 1988). This was a net
decrease of 5.4 million pounds, or 68.3%,
attributable to off-site recycling. (However, this
industry also had the largest increase in other
on-site waste management.)
Miscellaneous plastics products (SIC code 3089)
reported a decrease of 3.7 million pounds (39.3%);
decreases in all off-site transfer types contributed to
this figure. The industry with the third largest
decrease, rubber and plastics hose and belting (SIC
code 3052), had a reduction of 1.3 million pounds
(45.9%), due almost entirely to a decrease in off-
site recycling.
The largest increase was reported in the laminated
plastics plate and sheet sector (SIC code 3083):
584,000 pounds, or 79.9%. Transfers to recycling
and to energy recovery accounted for this figure.
No other industry had an increase of more than
300,000 pounds from 1994-1996.
320
-------
Chapter 9 — TRI Data for Rubber and Plastics Products
Table 9-16 provides data for transfers off-site for
further waste management for the four-digit SIC
codes in SIC code 30.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Releases, 1988-1996
Devro-Teepak, Inc., in Danville, Illinois (SIC code
3079 in 1988 and 3089 in 1996), ranked first in
increase of releases with an overall increase of 1.8
million pounds. Carbon disulfide accounted for
100% of the increase because it was the only
chemical this facility reported to TRI in 1988 and
1996. This facility manufactures cellophane tubing
used for shaping food products such as hot dogs
and sausages. Early in the tube-making process,
carbon disulfide is reacted with wood pulp and the
mixture is dissolved in dilute caustic. Later in the
process, the carbon disulfide is stripped off of the
tubing and much of it leaves the plant through
point-source air emissions. A fire closed the plant
in 1987. Consequently, carbon disulfide emissions
were low in 1988 because production was low. The
facility returned to full capacity before the 1996
reporting year.
The second-ranked facility was Texas Recreation
Corporation in Wichita Falls, Texas (did not report
in 1988, SIC code 3086 in 1996). Approximately
half of this facility's 1.5 million-pound increase in
releases was due to fugitive air emissions of methyl
ethyl ketone (MEK). Texas Recreation
manufactures foam leisure products. A coating
process for this product line involves the use of
MEK as a solvent. The Wichita Falls facility came
into operation in 1988, and the product line in
which MEK is used was not initiated until after the
1988 reporting year.
Third was Sequentia, Inc., in Grand Junction,
Tennessee (SIC code 3089), with a 1.5 million-
pound increase. The facility manufactures
fiberglass-reinforced plastic panels. Scrap material
is sent off-site to a landfill. The scrap material
contains styrene, which is used in the production of
polyester resin. Styrene reporting accounts for 99%
of the facility's increase. TRI reporting guidance
materials such as the EPA document Estimating
Chemical Releases From Rubber Production and
Compounding (EPA 560/4-88-004q) were brought
to the attention of Sequentia staff at a 1991 waste
management seminar hosted by the University of
Tennessee. The facility attributes the increase in
reported releases to a better understanding of
reporting requirements and improved estimation
methods as a result of attending the seminar.
International Paper in Hampton, South Carolina
(SIC 3079 in 1988 and 3083 in 1996), had the
largest reduction in releases with a 3.0 million-
pound decrease. A 2.6 million-pound reduction in
methanol point-source air emissions accounted for
87% of the decrease. The facility's largest
production line is decorative laminate. The facility
has been engineering methanol out of the
formulation of a resin used in laminate production.
The reason for the reformulation, according to
International Paper, is to reduce methanol
emissions.
3M of Nevada, Missouri (SIC code 3081), was
second in decreases with an overall release
reduction of 2.5 million pounds. 3M uses xylene
(mixed isomers) as a solvent in the manufacture of
plastic adhesive film. Fugitive and point-source air
emissions of xylene were reduced by a combined
1.3 million pounds after the facility installed two
thermal oxidizers. Reduced xylene emissions
account for over 50% of this facility's overall
decrease in releases between the comparison years.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in Lincoln,
Nebraska (SIC code 3041 in 1988 and 3052 in
1996), was third in decreases with an overall
reduction of 2.3 million pounds. Reduction in
toluene point-source air emissions was the primary
reason for the change. A material substitution was
made for toluene, a processing aid in the
manufacture of belts and hoses for industrial
applications and automobiles.

Goodyear attributes its toluene reduction to
participation in EPA's 33/50 Program.
Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which have
been identified as reporting errors or plant closures.
Because these are errors or plant closures and not
actual changes in the data, these facilities are not
discussed in detail here. There is one such facility
in the rubber and plastics products sector:
Pioneer Plastics Corporation, Wisconsin
Rapids, Wisconsin, decrease of 2.6 million
pounds, plant closure.

Chapter 9 — TRI Data for Rubber and Plastics Products
1991-1996 Waste Management Data
for Rubber and Plastics Products
Table 9-17 summarizes on- and off-site waste
management data for the rubber and plastics
products sector for 1991, when TRI began
collecting this information, and the three most
recent years (1994-1996). Total production-related
waste decreased 26.0% from 1991-1996, with an
even larger percentage decrease (32.0%) from
1995-1996. As noted, one facility accounted for
much of this change. Since 1991, total
production-related waste decreased 118.8 million
pounds. This represents the net reduction for the
period, despite an increase in the early years.
Without the one facility that has substantially
reduced its on-site recycling, the sector's waste
management data would still show a decrease (31.1
million pounds) from 1991 to 1996. This net
reduction has been accomplished despite increases
in production throughout those years.
From 1991 to 1996, two areas showed increases.
On-site treatment rose from 16.8 million pounds in
1991 to 28.0 million pounds in 1996, a 66.5%
increase. Off-site recycling was 14.0 million
pounds in 1991 and 19.5 million pounds in 1996, a
39.6% increase. Total off-site waste management
increased 3.8 million pounds, from 26.3 million
pounds to 30.1 million pounds (a 14.6% increase)
for 1991-1996, driven by the 5.5 million-pound
increase in off-site recycling.
The quantity released on- and off-site decreased
39.5 million pounds (27.4%), from 144.2 million
pounds in 1991 to 104.7 million pounds in 1996.
Figure 9-13 illustrates the percentage changes in
on-site and off-site waste management types.
These data present a somewhat mixed picture in
relation to the waste management hierarchy
(explained in Chapter 1). As noted, one facility
reported large quantities of on-site recycling as well
as a large reduction hi those quantities from 1991 to
1996. For the rest of the sector, on-site recycling
quantities (excluding data from that one facility)
fluctuated from year to year. Off-site recycling
increased over the 1991-1996 period. Taken
together, the quantities for on-site recycling and
off-site recycling show that the sector's use of
recycling to manage production-related waste
varied from year to year. Under the waste
management hierarchy, recycling is the preferred
option for TRI chemicals in waste that cannot be
prevented. At the same time, although the
quantities released showed decreases, on-site
treatment rose. In terms of the hierarchy, treatment
is the least preferable option except for release or
disposal of the waste quantities. Thus, there is no
evident trend in this sector toward the
environmentally preferable waste management
options.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Waste Management. 1991-1996
Component Technologies, Inc., in Palmetto, Florida
(did not report in 1991, SIC code 3081 in 1996),
had the biggest increase in production-related
waste. All of this facility's increase was accounted
for by on-site recycling of methyl ethyl ketone
(MEK). For this chemical, 9.6 million pounds were
reported as recycled on-site in 1996, and there were
no data reported in 1991. The facility did not begin
operation until 1992. The facility uses methyl ethyl
ketone as a solvent in audio cassette tape coating
operations. One of the coatings produced is a
polyester-based film used to line the inside of the
tape housing. The other coating is applied to leader
tape. MEK recovered from the coating operations is
recycled and reused.
Toray Plastics America, Inc., in North Kingstown,
Rhode Island (SIC code 3081), ranked second with
an overall increase of 5.3 million pounds. The
facility had a 5.0 million-pound increase in the
amount of ethylene glycol reported as recycled off-
site. Ethylene glycol is the by-product of a process
for making a polyester resin. The resin is used in
the manufacture of film for the video industry. This
facility went into production in 1990 and did not

reach production capacity until 1991. Between
1991 and 1995, the facility doubled in size.
Increased efficiency in ethylene glycol recovery
and production capacity are cited by Toray Plastics
as the reasons for the change in reporting.
Ranked third is Wilsonart International in Temple,
Texas (SIC code 3083), with an increase of 4.8
million pounds. Over 90% of the increase is
accounted for by methanol reported as on-site
energy recovery. Wilsonart produces laminated
plastic countertop and flooring. Methanol is used as
a solvent in the laminate production process. It is
recovered from paper impregnated with phenolic
resin before the material goes through a heated
pressing cycle. The recovered methanol is then
used as a fuel in boilers that generate steam for the
pressing cycle. The facility attributes the increase to
two factors: a significant production increase and a
change in estimation methods. Methanol data were
formerly calculated by engineering estimates. Now
they are based on empirical data.
First in decreases was Gates Rubber Company in
lola, Kansas (SIC code 3052), with an overall
reduction of 87.7 million pounds. This plant, which
manufactures hydraulic hose, used lead molds to
form the hose. After the forming process, the lead
mold was stripped off of the hose, recycled on-site,
and reused in the same process. Replacing the lead
molds with plastic molds resulted in an 87.7
million-pound reduction in reported on-site
recycling for 1991-1996. This facility's on-site
recycling of lead compounds actually increased
from 1991 to 1995, reaching a peak of 243.7
million pounds. However, a reduction of 154.5
million pounds occurred in the last year. The
changeover began in 1995 and was completed in
1997. The facility estimates that there will be no
on-site recycling of lead compounds by 1998.
326
-------
Chapter 9 — TRI Data for Rubber and Plastics Products
Flexel, Inc., in Tecranseh, Kansas (SIC code 3089),
ranked second in decreases with an overall
reduction of 13.2 million pounds. Over 60% of the
reduction was due to a decrease in the amount of
carbon disulfide reported as recycled on-site. The
facility changed ownership since the 1996 reporting
year and is now called UCB. Carbon disulfide is
used as a reactant in the manufacture of cellophane
packaging film. Regenerated carbon disulfide is
partially recoverable and this is recycled and reused
in the process. A 7.2 million-pound decrease in on-
recycling of carbon disulfide was the result of a
change in the interpretation of how to report carbon
disulfide in this category, according to the facility
contact.1
Wilsonart International in Fletcher, North Carolina
(SIC code 3083), ranked third in decreases with a
total change of 3.9 million pounds. The plant
produces the same product lines as the Wilsonart
facility in Temple, Texas (ranked third for increases
in production-related waste). The two plants have
very similar operations, according to the contact.
The Fletcher facility reported a 3.8 million-pound
reduction in on-site energy recovery of methanol,
accounting for 99% of the overall decrease. The
change is due to improved estimation methods.
Like the Temple facility, TRI reporting at the
Fletcher plant is now based on empirical data rather
than engineering estimates.
Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Production-Related Waste, 1991-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which have
been identified as reporting errors or plant closures.
Because these are errors or plant closures and not
actual changes in the data, these facilities are not
discussed in detail here. There are two such
facilities in the rubber and plastics products sector:
Huntsman Packaging Corporation, Merced,
California, decrease of 5.3 million pounds,
reporting error.

Toxics Release Inventory Data for
Leather and Leather Products
(SIC Code 31)
A Look at the Leather and
Leather Products Industry
(SIC Code 31)
The leather and leather products industry (SIC code
31) engages in tanning, currying, and finishing
hides and skins. This sector manufactures finished
leather and artificial leather products. Some
products of this sector, such as handbags, billfolds,
and card cases, may be made of leather or non-
leather materials. Box 10-1 lists Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes and their designations
for this sector. In TRI, SIC codes are given as
reported by the facilities; these may differ from
information in economic and other data collections.
The leather and leather products sector is the
United States' smallest manufacturing sector, with
shipments valued at $9.31 billion in 1996, up from
$9.16 billion in 1995 (both in current dollars). This
was one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the U.S.
total value of manufacturing shipments. Although
the sector's value of shipments increased from
1995 to 1996, employment decreased from 86,000
in 1995 to 77,000 in 1996. The leather and leather
products sector experienced the sharpest economic
decline of all U.S. manufacturing sectors in the
1990s. Production in this sector dropped 28.5%
from 1989 to 1996, while production levels for all
U.S. manufacturing increased 17.6% (see Chapter
1, Table 1-10).
Manufacturing of shoes (footwear, SIC code 314)
generated the largest part of the sector's value of
shipments ($3.61 billion) and employment (37,000)
in 1996. Men's footwear (SIC code 3143)
contributed the bulk of this activity, with shipments
of $2.43 billion and employment of 19,000. The
leather tanning and finishing industry (SIC code
311) shipped products valued at $3.13 billion and
employed 15,000 in 1996. Production volume in
the U.S. leather tanning and finishing industry is
tied primarily to meat consumption. In contrast, the
manufacture of leather products, such as shoes, is
labor-intensive and strongly influenced by
international trade.
Leather production begins at the time of slaughter,
when hides are cured with dry salt or brine and
(usually) held in cold storage. "Beamhouse"
operations rehydrate the hides, remove curing salt,
and apply lime (with alkaline additives) to remove

hair and/or epidermal tissue. Hides and skins may
require degreasing; for most leathers, this process is
aqueous, but for sheepskin, hydrocarbon solvents
are used.
One important tanning process is chromium
tannage. The tanning material consists of one-third
basic chromic sulfate, accounting for the
prevalence of chromium compounds in this sector's
TRI reporting. Masking chemicals (often sodium
formate) are used to moderate the leather's uptake
of trivalent chromium. Tanneries also use enzymes
to condition the grain, deliming salts, and pickling
acid (a sodium chloride brine with sulfuric acid).
Chromium tannage produces "chrome-in-the-blue
stock" or "blue stock," named for the color of the
resulting product. Manufacturers of leather
products may purchase wet "blue stock" and finish
the leather themselves.
An alternative to chromium tannage is vegetable
tannage, involving polyphenolic extracts from bark
and wood. Vegetable tannage is used for about 10%
of leather production, especially leathers intended
for shoe soles, insoles, belting, straps, and specialty
products.
Tanneries next split the hides into grain and "blue
drop"; the latter is usually used for suede. A three-
part process follows: retannage, coloring, and fat
liquoring. Hides and skins may undergo a second
trivalent chromium tannage, natural vegetable
tannage, or one of a variety of organic synthetic
tannage processes. Coloring agents may be acidic,
basic, direct, or reactive. In fat liquoring, tanneries
lubricate the hides with oil emulsions, most often
using marine or vegetable oils. A single tannery
may have available hundreds of formulas for
retannage, coloring, and fat liquoring, intended to
produce a wide range of characteristics in leathers
of various types and qualities.
X
The last stages of leather tanning are drying and
finishing. Dried leather may be milled or flexed for
suppleness and buffed with abrasives. Finishing
coats consist of film-forming binder polymers,
colorant (dye or pigment), carrier, and additives for
adhesion. Many finishes are water-based, but
lacquer top-coatings are also used. Repeated
applications are common. Those who purchase
tanned and finished leather may also apply further
finishing steps in the course of manufacturing
leather products.
1996 TRI Data for Leather
and Leather Products
Table 10-1 summarizes TRI reporting by the
leather and leather products sector for 1996. The
sector submitted 223 forms in 1996. Of these, 14
were Form A certification statements, certifying
that a facility's total annual reportable amount of a
TRI chemical was less than 500 pounds for the year
and that the facility did not manufacture, process,
or otherwise use more than 1 million pounds. (The
Form A certification statement is explained in
Chapter 1.)
The leather tanning and finishing industry (SIC
code 3111) submitted the largest number of forms
in this sector in 1996: 166 forms, or 74.4% of the
sector's total. Men's footwear (SIC code 3143)
submitted 16 forms, and miscellaneous footwear
(SIC code 3149) submitted 15. These were 7.2%
and 6.7%, respectively, of the total number of
forms in leather and leather products.
The leather tanning and finishing industry (SIC
code 3111) reported the large majority of the
sector's releases and waste management, as shown
in Table 10-1. This industry reported 2.0 million
pounds of on-site releases, which was 73.7% of the
sector's total of 2.7 million pounds, and almost all
(99.2%) of the sector's 1.5 million pounds of off-
site releases (transfers to disposal). The leather
tanning and finishing industry's total on- and off-
site releases of 3.5 million pounds amounted to
82.9% of the sector's total of 4.2 million pounds.

Three industries reported approximately 5% each of
the sector's total on- and off-site releases. These
were men's footwear (SIC code 3143) with 239,000
pounds, miscellaneous footwear (SIC code 3149)
with 230,000 pounds, and the group of forms that
reported multiple SIC codes in SIC code 31 with
222,000 pounds. In all three cases, the majority of
the releases were reported as on-site releases. The
miscellaneous footwear industry (SIC code 3149)
ranked second (after leather tanning and finishing)
for off-site releases (transfers to disposal), with
9,000 pounds. This represented 0.6% of the sector's
total off-site releases.
The leather tanning and finishing industry (SIC
code 3111) also reported 99.0% of the sector's 4.2
million pounds of other on-site waste management
and 97.8% of the sector's 1.8 million pounds of
transfers off-site for further waste management.
Men's footwear (SIC code 3143) ranked second for
both other on-site waste management, with 5,900
pounds (0.1% of the sector's total), and transfers
off-site for further waste management, with 21,000
pounds (1.2% of the sector's total).
For total production-related waste, the leather
tanning and finishing industry reported 9.4 million
pounds, or 92.2% of the sector's 10.2 million-
pound total. The same three leather and leather
products industries that reported comparable
amounts of total releases also reported
approximately 2% each of the sector's total
production-related waste: men's footwear (SIC
code 3143) with 256,000 pounds, miscellaneous
footwear (SIC code 3149) with 238,000 pounds,
and the multiple-codes group with 229,000 pounds.
Multiple SIC Codes in SIC Code 31
Several facilities in the leather and leather products
sector engage in activities that are classified in
distinct, but separate, SIC codes. For example, a
facility may produce both men's footwear (SIC
code 3143) and pieces used in shoe construction
(footwear cut stock, SIC code 3131). These
facilities may report multiple SIC codes on their
TRI forms. (Box 1-5 in Chapter 1 further explains
reporting of multiple SIC codes and its affect on the
analyses presented in the TRI data release.)
Table 10-2 further examines multiple-codes
reporting in the leather and leather products sector.
Eleven forms reported more than one four-digit SIC
code within SIC code 31, as shown in Table 10-2.
Most of these (8 forms) combined men's footwear
(SIC code 3143) and women's footwear (SIC code

of total on- and off-site releases and 119,000
pounds of total production-related waste in 1996.
On- and Off-site Releases
The leather and leather products sector reported air
emissions totaling 2.7 million pounds in 1996,
nearly two-thirds (62.6%) of the sector's total on-
and off-site releases. Off-site releases (transfers to
disposal) totaled 1.5 million pounds, 36.0% of the
sector's total releases. The sector reported much
smaller amounts of surface water discharges
(54,000 pounds) and on-site land releases (7,000
pounds). The leather and leather products sector
reported no underground injection. Table 10-3
presents the sector's reporting of on- and off-site
releases by four-digit SIC code for 1996. Figure
10-1 illustrates the distribution of releases by type.
The leather tanning and finishing industry (SIC
code 3111) reported the largest amounts of air
emissions (1.9 million pounds) and off-site releases
(1.5 million pounds). The industry's reported air
emissions included 1.2 million pounds of glycol
ethers, and the off-site releases included 1.2 million
pounds of chromium compounds. The leather
tanning and finishing industry also reported all of
the sector's surface water discharges and other on-
site land releases.
As noted above, three industry groups reported
roughly equal amounts of the sector's total on- and
off-site releases: men's footwear (SIC code 3143),

these three groups were air emissions, except for
9,000 pounds of off-site releases reported by the
miscellaneous footwear industry and 24 pounds of
off-site releases reported by the men's footwear
industry.
Figure 10-2 shows the distribution of on- and off-
site releases for the industries (four-digit SIC code)
in the leather and leather products sector.
Other On-site Waste Management
The leather and leather products sector reported 3.6
million pounds of on-site treatment in 1996, which
was 85.7% of the sector's total other on-site waste
management. The sector also reported 604,000
pounds of on-site recycling, 14.3% of the total. No
energy recovery was reported by the leather and
leather products industries. Table 10-4 presents the
sector's 1996 reporting of other on-site waste
management. Figure 10-3 illustrates the distribution
of these data by waste management method.
As in other categories, the leather tanning and
finishing industry (SIC code 3111) reported the
bulk of the sector's other on-site waste
management. This industry reported 3.6 million
pounds of on-site treatment, including 2.0 million
pounds of formic acid treated on-site. The leather
and tanning industry also reported 598,000 pounds
of on-site recycling.
Few other industries in this sector reported other
on-site waste management, as shown in Table 10-4.
Figure 10-4 illustrates the distribution of on-site
waste management reporting for the industries in
the leather and leather products sector.

1996 TRI Data by
Chemical for Leather and
Leather Products
The top 15 chemicals for total on- and off-site
releases in the leather and leather products sector in
1996 appear in Table 10-7. Releases of these
chemicals totaled 4.2 million pounds, or 98.9% of
all releases reported in this sector. The sector
reported 2.6 million pounds of air emissions of
these chemicals and 1.5 million pounds of off-site
releases (transfers to disposal). Both amounts
represented approximately 99% of the sector's
totals in those categories.
Glycol ethers was the chemical reported in the
largest amount, with 1.22 million pounds, mostly
reported as air emissions. All of the air emissions of
this chemical were reported by the leather tanning
and finishing industry (SIC code 3111), which uses
glycol ethers in coating processes. Chromium
compounds ranked second for total releases, with
1.18 million pounds, almost entirely as off-site
releases (transfers to disposal). The leather tanning
and finishing industry reported the bulk (99.5%) of
the off-site releases of chromium compounds, used
in tanning hides and skins.

As noted earlier, the leather tanning and finishing
industry also reported all of the sector's surface
water discharges and on-site land releases,
including amounts for the top 15 chemicals, as
shown in Table 10-7.
OSHA Carcinogens
As shown in Table 10-8, the leather and leather
products sector reported releasing 48,000 pounds of
chemicals designated as OSHA carcinogens in
1996. (OSHA carcinogens and the bases for their
designation appear in Box 1-9 in Chapter 1.)
Almost all of these releases were reported as air
emissions. The leather tanning and finishing
industry (SIC code 3111) reported 26,000 pounds,
and men's footwear (SIC code 3143) reported
22,000 pounds of total air emissions.
Dichloromethane and tetrachloroethylene ranked
14th and 15th for total on- and off-site releases in
this sector and are OSHA carcinogens. Leather and
leather products facilities reported releasing 22,000
pounds of dichloromethane and 19,000 pounds of
341

Chapter 10 — TRI Data for Leather and Leather Products
tetrachloroethylene (see Table 10-7). The sector
also reported releases of two other OSHA
carcinogens: formaldehyde (7,000 pounds) and
nickel compounds (less than 1,000 pounds).
The men's footwear industry (SIC code 3143)
reported all of the releases of dichloromethane. The
leather tanning and finishing industry (SIC code
3111) reported most of the releases of the other
three OSHA carcinogens. For each of the four
chemicals, one or two facilities reported all of the
releases.
Figure 10-7 shows the on- and off-site releases of
the four-digit SIC codes in this sector that reported
OSHA carcinogen releases.
1996 TRI Chemicals in
Waste for Leather and
Leather Products
The leather and leather products sector reported
10.2 million pounds of total production-related
waste in 1996. Most of the total was reported as
released on- and off-site (4.6 million pounds) or as
treated on-site (3.6 million pounds), as shown in
Table 10-9. Together, these methods of waste
management accounted for 80.4% of the sector's
total production-related waste. The sector also
reported 951,000 pounds of off-site treatment and

604,000 pounds of on-site recycling. These
amounts represented 9.4% and 5.9%,
respectively, of the sector's total production-
related waste. Figure 10-8 illustrates the
distribution of the sector's reporting of
production-related waste.
The leather tanning and finishing industry (SIC
code 3111) reported more that 80% of all types of
waste management reported in this sector,
including 98% or more of the on-site and off-site
recycling and treatment. This industry reported
3.8 million pounds released on- and off-site and
3.6 million pounds of on-site treatment.
As noted earlier, three industries reported similar
amounts of total production-related waste. Almost all
of their production-related waste was reported as
quantities released. These industries were men's
footwear (SIC code 3143) with 256,000 pounds of
total production-related waste, miscellaneous
footwear (SIC code 3149) with 238,000 pounds, and
the multiple SIC codes group with 229,000 pounds.
Distribution of production-related waste for the
industries in the leather and leather products sector
appears in Figure 10-9.
Projected Quantities of TRI Chemicals
in Waste
The leather and leather products sector projected a
7.8% reduction in reported production-related waste
by 1998, as shown in Table 10-10. (As explained in
Chapter 1, facilities not only report current data but
project waste management quantities for the next two
years in their TRI submissions.) The sector projected
a decrease from 10.2 million pounds of total
production-related waste in 1996 to 9.4 million
pounds in 1998.
The sector projected reductions in all types of
production-related waste, except for a 5.8% increase
in off-site recycling, from 272,000 pounds in 1996 to
288,000 pounds in 1998. (No on-site energy recovery
was reported in 1996 or projected for 1998).

codes are codes beginning "31" that do not exist in the current Standard Industrial Classification code system.
The largest component of the overall reduction
was a projected 13.5% decrease in on-site
treatment from 3.6 million pounds in 1996 to 3.1
million pounds in 1998. Off-site energy recovery
was expected to decrease from 164,000 pounds to
45,000 pounds, which would represent a 72.5%
reduction. Off-site treatment was projected to
decrease from 951,000 pounds to 874,000
pounds, or 8.1%. The sector projected a 2.0%
reduction hi quantities released from 4.6 million
pounds to 4.5 million pounds.
Figure 10-10 illustrates the projected percentage
change in on-site waste management, off-site
waste management, quantities released, and total
production-related waste for the leather and
leather products sector.
These changes represent small shifts hi the ways that
the leather and leather products sector expects to
manage its TRI chemicals in waste. For example,
recycling would increase slightly as a percentage of
total production-related waste, both on-site and off-
site. However, 44.8% of the sector's total production-
related waste was reported as released on- and off-
site in 1996, and this percentage would increase
somewhat to 47.6%. Thus, releases represent a large
and potentially increasing proportion of the sector's
waste management, as indicated in these projections.
In terms of the waste management hierarchy, as
explained in Chapter 1, releases are the least
environmentally desirable option for management of
TRI chemicals in waste.

Source Reduction Activity
In 1996, 55 forms in the leather and leather
products sector indicated one or more source
reduction activities underway during the year, as
shown in Table 10-11. This was one-fourth
(24.7%) of all forms submitted by this sector. The
3111) submitted 38 of these forms (22.9% of the
forms submitted by that industry).
Raw material modifications was one of the source
reduction activities most often indicated (23 forms).
This type of activity often represents more innovative
projects to reduce or eliminate toxic chemicals in
leather tanning and finishing industry (SIC code waste. Surface preparation and finishing was also

Comparisons for Leather
and Leather Products
1995-1996 TRI Data for Leather and
Leather Products
The number of forms submitted by the leather and
leather products sector decreased from 251 in 1995
to 223 in 1996, as shown in Table 10-12.
On- and Off-site Releases
Total on- and off-site releases reported by the
leather and leather products sector decreased 5.2%
from 1995 to 1996, as shown in Table 10-12. The
sector reported 4.5 million pounds of total releases
in 1995 and 4.2 million pounds in 1996. Reported
air emissions decreased from 2.9 million in 1995 to
2.7 million in 1996 (a reduction of 8.7%).
Reductions were reported in both fugitive and
point-source air emissions. Surface water
discharges decreased from 113,000 pounds to
54,000 pounds (a 52.8% reduction). On-site land
releases also decreased, from 15,000 pounds to
7,000 pounds (55.5%).
The leather and leather products sector reported an
increase in off-site releases (transfers to disposal),
the only release type with an increase in this sector
for 1995-1996. Transfers to disposal rose from 1.4
million pounds to 1.5 million pounds. This was an
increase of 6.0%.
Figure 10-11 illustrates the percentage change in
releases reported by the leather and leather products
sector.
Other On-site Waste Management
The leather and leather products sector reported 4.5
million pounds of other on-site waste management
in 1995 and 4.2 million pounds in 1996, a 6.2%
reduction, as shown in Table 10-12. All three
methods of waste management showed decreases.
On-site recycling decreased 2.9%, from 622,000
pounds to 604,000 pounds, and on-site treatment
decreased 5.4% from 3.8 million pounds to 3.6
million pounds. The sector reported 56,000 pounds
of on-site energy recovery in 1995, and none in
1996.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The leather and leather products sector reported
decreases in off-site transfers to recycling and
energy recovery from 1995 to 1996, while transfers
to treatment and POTWs increased. The net change
in the sector's reported transfers off-site for further
waste management was a reduction of 8.2%, from
2.0 million pounds to 1.8 million pounds. Table 10-
12 presents the sector's reporting of transfers off-
site for further waste management for 1995 and
1996.
In this sector, transfers to recycling decreased
23.4%, from 441,000 pounds to 338,000 pounds.
Transfers to energy recovery decreased 37.8%,
from 269,000 pounds to 167,000 pounds. The
sector reported relatively small amounts of transfers
to treatment, but these transfers increased 150,4%,
from 12,000 pounds to 29,000 pounds. The largest
type of off-site transfer for further waste
management in this sector—transfers to POTWs—
increased from 1.27 million pounds to 1.29 million
pounds, an increase of 1.9%.

1988-1996 TRI Data for Leather and
Leather Products
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRI baseline year to the current year rely on
the list of "core" TRI chemicals that were
reportable, with the same reporting definition, in all
years. These multi-year comparisons also review
only the data elements that were collected in all
years, which excludes from this section any
analysis that distinguishes RCRA subtitle C
landfills from other land releases as well as analysis
based on the types of underground injection wells.
On-site waste management data and transfers off-
site to recycling and to energy recovery have been
collected only since 1991; these data are included,
but cannot be compared across the full 1988-1996
period.
From 1988 to 1996, the number of forms submitted
to TRI by the leather and leather products sector
decreased by about half (47.9%), from 282 forms to
147 forms. During this period, the sector also
reduced reported on- and off-site releases from 13.0
million pounds to 3.8 million pounds, a 70.7%
reduction. These data appear in Table 10-13.
All types of on-site releases reported by this sector
decreased from 1988 to 1996, as shown in Table
10-13. Air emissions exhibited the largest
reduction, from 11.7 million pounds to 2.3 million
pounds, or 80.2%. The largest portion of the overall
reduction occurred in reporting of point-source
emissions (from 9.4 million pounds to 1.7 million
pounds), although fugitive air emissions also
decreased (from 2.2 million pounds to 568,000
pounds). On-site land releases decreased from

232,000 pounds to 6,000 pounds, or 97.4%. A
reduction was also reported in surface water
discharges, of 37.6%, but very small amounts were
reported in this category (3,000 pounds in 1988 and
2,000 in 1996).
The leather and leather products sector reported an
increase in off-site releases (transfers to disposal)
from 1.1 million pounds in 1988 to 1.5 million
pounds in 1996. This amounted to an increase of
more than one-third (36.5%).
Figure 10-12 displays the percentage change in
release types reported in the leather and leather
products sector from 1988 to 1996.
On-site waste management and transfers off-site for
recycling or energy recovery were not collected in
1988. For the 1994-1996 period, total other on-site
waste management reported by this sector
decreased from 2.4 million pounds to 1.5 million
pounds. This reflected a reduction in reporting of
on-site treatment from 1.7 million pounds to
906,000 pounds. Amounts reported for on-site
recycling also decreased, from 658,000 pounds to
604,000 pounds. For the 1994-to-1996 period
shown in Table 10-13, the sector reported energy
recovery only in 1995 (56,000 pounds).

1988-1996 Data for Four-Digit Industries in
Leather and Leather Products
Tables 10-14 through 10-16 summarize data for
1988 and 1994-1996 for industries at the four-digit
SIC code level within SIC code 31. The tables
present, respectively, on- and off-site releases,
other on-site waste management, and transfers off-
site for further waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
Table 10-14 provides release data for all four-digit
SIC codes in the leather and leather products sector,
for 1988-1996. The leather tanning and finishing
industry (SIC code 3111) reported the largest
decrease in on- and off-site releases. This industry
reported total releases of 7.2 million pounds in
1988 and 3.1 million pounds in 1996. Air emissions
were the largest factor in this reduction, along with
a smaller reduction in on-site releases to land. The
industry's reporting of off-site releases (transfers to
disposal) increased over this period.
The women's footwear industry (SIC code 3144)
ranked second for decreases, reporting 472,000
pounds in 1988 and 30,000 pounds in 1996. Men's
footwear (SIC code 3143) ranked third, with
591,000 pounds in 1988 and 239,000 pounds in
1996. Virtually all of the releases and reductions
reported in both industries were in air emissions.
One industry group reported an increase from 1988
to 1996. This was the multiple-codes group, which
reported 158,000 pounds of on- and off-site
releases in 1988 and 221,000 pounds in 1996. Total
releases reported on forms with multiple SIC codes
varied from year to year, as is evident hi Table 10-
14. Almost all of the releases reported in the
multiple-codes group were air emissions.
Other On-site Waste Management
The leather tanning and finishing industry (SIC
code 3111) reported the sector's largest decrease in
other on-site waste management from 1994 to 1996
(on-site waste management data were not collected
in 1988). This industry reported 2.3 million pounds
in 1994 and 1.5 million pounds in 1996. This
reflected a large reduction in on-site treatment,
along with a smaller decrease in on-site recycling.
The miscellaneous footwear industry (SIC code
3149) ranked second for decreases in other on-site
waste management. This industry reported less than
3,000 pounds in 1994 and 1995 and 600 pounds in
1996, all in on-site recycling.
Men's footwear (SIC code 3143) reported a net
increase for this period, from zero pounds in 1994
to 6,000 pounds in 1996 although the total was
larger (8,000 pounds) in 1995. This industry also
reported only on-site recycling.
Other leather and leather products industries did not
report in the comparison years or reported only zero
amounts of other on-site waste management.
On-site waste management data for 1994-1996
appear in Table 10-15.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
As with on- and off-site releases and other on-site
waste management, the leather tanning and
finishing industry (SIC code 3111) reported the
largest reduction in transfers off-site for further
waste management from 1994 to 1996 (data for
some types of off-site transfers were not collected
in 1988). The leather tanning and finishing industry
reported 1.1 million pounds of such transfers in
1994 and 951,000 pounds in 1996. This industry
reported decreases in all types of transfers except
transfers to recycling.

Chapter 10 — TRI Data for Leather and Leather Products
The multiple-codes group ranked second for
decreases in transfers off-site for further waste
management, reporting 19,000 pounds in 1994 and
800 pounds in 1996. Women's footwear (SIC code
3144) ranked third, with 14,000 pounds in 1994 and
3,000 pounds in 1996. Both reported reductions
occurred principally in transfers to energy recovery.
Among leather and leather products industries, only
the men's footwear industry (SIC code 3143)
reported an increase in transfers off-site for further
waste management for 1994 to 1996. This industry
reported 11,000 pounds in 1994,5,000 pounds in
1995, and 21,000 pounds in 1996. Increases were
reported in transfers to energy recovery and to
treatment.
Table 10-16 provides multi-year data by four-digit
SIC codes for these transfer types.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Releases. 1988-1996
Pfister & Vogel Leather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
(SIC code 3111), ranked first in increases of
releases with 200,000 pounds. The chemical glycol
ethers was responsible for all of the facility's
increase. The tannery switched some of its coating
processes from solvent-based materials to water-
based materials. Glycol ethers is a component of
the water-based coatings. The facility's reporting of
solvents decreased over the 1988-1996 period,
including decreases of 128,000 pounds in xylene
releases and 51,000 pounds in 2-methoxyethanol
releases.
Blackhawk Leather, Ltd., in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
(SIC code 3111), was second in increases with an
overall 141,000 pounds. An automotive leather
manufacturer, the Blackhawk facility reported
83,000 pounds more chromium compounds (59%
of the increase) transferred off-site for disposal.
Chromium is integral to leather tanning and acts as
a preservative. Waste sludge from the tanning
process and leather scraps containing chromium are
sent to off-site landfills. The facility attributed the
increase to increased production.
Eagle Tanning Company in Waterloo, Iowa (did
not report in 1988, SIC code 3111 in 1996), was the
third-ranked facility for increases with 91,000
pounds. The tannery reported 91,000 pounds of
chromium compounds in 1996, all in the category
of transfers off-site to disposal. The facility came
into operation in 1988 and did not use chromium
compounds until the 1989 reporting year.
The top decreaser for releases was Eagle Ottawa
Leather Company in Grand Haven, Michigan (SIC
code 3111). This manufacturer of automobile
upholstery leather had an overall decrease of 2.7
million pounds, 33% of which was accounted for
by the elimination of methyl ethyl ketone from its
coating process. Toluene, acetone, and methyl
isobutyl ketone were also eliminated when Eagle
Ottawa switched from solvent-based coatings to
water-based coatings. Eagle Ottawa, a participant in
EPA's 33/50 Program, received an Environmental
Quality Award from the Michigan Chamber of
Commerce for its environmental record.
Irving Tanning Company in Hartland, Maine (SIC
code 3111), ranked second in decreases with 1.3
million pounds. This facility substituted an unlisted
solvent for 2-methoxyethanol, used in leather
coating operations. 2-Methoxyethanol, reported as
fugitive and point-source air emissions in 1988,
accounted for 62% of the facility's overall
decrease. No data were reported for the chemical in
1996. Irving Tanning tans leather to customer
specifications. Their customers produce finished
leather goods.
Seton Company in Newark, New Jersey (SIC code
3111), was third in decreases with 671,000 pounds.
Elimination of methyl ethyl ketone accounted for
49% of Seton's reduction. In 1992, this plant
transferred its leather finishing operations to
another Seton facility in Pennsylvania. Methyl
ethyl ketone and other solvents used in coating

processes were, therefore, no longer used at the
Newark facility or they were used in small enough
quantities to be below the reporting threshold. The
Seton Company contact added that the
Pennsylvania facility has recently switched from
solvent-based coating processes to water-based
processes.
1991-1996 Waste Management Data
for Leather and Leather Products
Table 10-17 summarizes on- and off-site waste
management data for the leather and leather
products sector for 1991, when TRI began
collecting this information, and the three most
recent years (1994-1996). From 1991 to 1996, total
production-related waste reported by the leather
and leather products sector decreased by two-thirds
(65.1%) from 18.0 million pounds to 6.3 million
pounds.
Reductions were reported in all waste management
types except on-site treatment (which increased
32.5%, from 684,000 pounds to 906,000 pounds).
The sector's largest reduction (in pounds) was
reported in quantities released on- and off-site,
from 9.1 million pounds in 1991 to 3.9 million
pounds in 1996. The second-largest reduction was
reported in on-site recycling, from 5.5 million
pounds to 604,000 pounds. These changes
amounted to reductions of 56.8% and 89.0%,
respectively.
Total off-site waste management decreased 68.9%,
from 2.7 million pounds in 1991 to 835,000 pounds
in 1996, reflecting reductions in all three waste
management methods. Off-site recycling decreased
from 937,000 pounds to 263,000 pounds, off-site
energy recovery decreased from 1.1 million pounds
to 155,000 pounds, and off-site treatment decreased
from 615,000 pounds to 417,000 pounds.
Figure 10-13 illustrates the 1991-1996 percentage
change in the sector's total production-related
waste, by type of waste management.
TRI facilities report absolute amounts of waste
managed and of environmental releases, not
adjusted for changes in production levels. As noted
early in this chapter, production in the leather and
leather products sector declined sharply through the
1990s. However, reporting of total production-
related waste decreased even more rapidly.
At the same time, the 1991-1996 record indicates
that the sector is managing its waste in less
desirable ways over time. In terms of the waste
management hierarchy (explained in Chapter 1),
recycling is the preferred option for TRI chemicals
in waste that cannot be prevented. Treatment is
preferred only above releases, the least
environmentally desirable waste management
option. From 1991 to 1996, the leather and leather
products sector reported substantial decreases in
recycling, a net increase in treatment, and less rapid
decreases in releases. The result of these changes is
that the sector reported recycling a much smaller
portion of its production-related waste, while
increasing the portion of production-related waste
that it released.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Waste Management, 1991-1996
Law Tanning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (did not
report in 1988, SIC code 3111 in 1996), was first in
increases of waste managed with 130,000 pounds.
Chromium compounds accounted for 100% of the
increase. The facility purchases blue drop splits
(tanned leather that is split off of a hide to get a
desired thickness) and manufactures "suede split."
Leather trimmed from the suede split product is
sent off-site for recycling. In 1993, the facility
changed its location, thereby changing its TRI
facility identification number. Because no data
were reported under the identification number for
the new location prior to 1993, the facility appeared
to have a 130,000 pound increase in chromium
compounds reported as recycled off-site and
quantity released. The original location reported
87,000 pounds for these same reporting categories

in 1991. The increase in reported chromium
compounds between the two facilities was due to a
production increase.
Prime Tanning Corporation in Saint Joseph,
Missouri (SIC code 3111), second in increases, had
an overall increase of 125,000 pounds. Phosphoric
acid had the biggest influence on the change,
accounting for 44% of the increase between 1991
and 1996. The facility, which manufactures leather
for shoes, boots, and upholstery, uses phosphoric
acid in a wastewater pretreatment system.
Phosphoric acid is neutralized upon introduction to
the activated sludge system and supplies phosphate
as a nutrient to biological organisms that aid in
waste biodegradation. Between 1991 and 1996, the
activated sludge system was found to be
performing poorly due to a phosphate deficiency.
As a result, the facility increased the amount of
phosphoric acid introduced into the system.
Twin City Tanning in South Saint Paul, Missouri
(SIC code 3111), was third in increases with
119,000 pounds. This custom tannery uses
manganese sulfate in a wastewater pretreatment
system to oxidize sulfides that are used to de-hair
cattle hides. Reported manganese compounds were
responsible for 88% of the facility's increase. The
pretreatment system was installed in 1991 and was,
therefore, not in operation for the entire reporting
year.
Pfister & Vogel Leather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
(SIC code 3111), ranked first in decreases of waste
managed with an overall 4.7 million-pound
reduction. Chromium compounds accounted for all
of the decrease. Trivalent chromium ion, the
359
-------
Chapter 10 — TRI Data for Leather and Leather Products
primary chemical component of the tanning
process, migrates from an aqueous solution, or
"chrome liquor," into rawhide and bonds to the
material, creating leather. The used chrome liquor,
along with water used to wash the tanned hides, is
pumped to a recycling system where chromium is
isolated and prepared for reuse. The reported
decrease in on-site recycling of chromium
compounds was due a change in estimation
methodology. According to the facility contact, in
1991 the amount of chromium reported as recycled
on-site was estimated on the basis of the total
weight of chromium compounds recycled (e.g., the
amount of the chromium and the other elements
making up the compound). After 1991, this figure
was calculated using only the weight of chromium.
Garden State Tanning in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania
(SIC code 3111), was second in decreases of waste
managed with a reduction of 1.4 million pounds. A
manufacturer of automotive leather, this facility
used toluene and other solvents in a finish-coating
process. Late in 1991, an incinerator that burned
emissions from the facility's finish drying ovens
broke down. Instead of replacing the incinerator,
Garden State opted to initiate a source reduction
program, with guidance from the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Resources, that
involved phasing out high-VOC, solvent-based
coatings and substituting water-based coatings.
Consequently, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, and
methyl isobutyl ketone were eliminated. Toluene
reporting accounted for 44% of the facility's overall
decrease between 1991 and 1996. This plant was a
participant of the EPA's 33/50 Program. All three
of the eliminated solvents were 33/50 chemicals.
Garden State Tanning in Williamsport, Maryland
(SIC code 3111), ranked third in decreases with an
overall 981,000 pounds. Like its counterpart in
Freeport, Pennsylvania, this manufacturer of
automotive leather eliminated emissions of high

Toxics Release Inventory Data
for Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete
(SIC Code 32)
A Look at the Stone, Clay,
Glass, and Concrete
Industry
(SIC Code 32)
The stone, clay, glass, and concrete products sector
(SIC code 32) manufactures flat glass and other
glass products, cement, structural clay products,
pottery, concrete and gypsum products, cut stone,
and abrasive and asbestos products. Products made
from materials taken principally from the earth in
the form of stone, clay, or sand are classified in this
SIC code. Box 11-1 lists Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes and their designations
for this sector. In TRI, SIC codes are given as
reported by the facilities; these may differ from
information in economic and other data collections.
The stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector shipped
products valued at $82.44 billion in 1996, up from
$75.93 billion in 1995 (both in current dollars).
Employment also rose, from 501,000 in 1995 to
520,000 in 1996. Production levels in this sector
dropped from 1989 to 1991, but increased modestly
through 1996. From 1989 to 1996, stone, clay,
glass, and concrete production rose 3.4%,
compared to an increase of 17.6% for U.S.
manufacturing as a whole (see Chapter 1, Table 1-
10).
Concrete, gypsum, and plaster products (SIC code
327) contributed about 40% of the sector's
shipments ($32.69 billion) and employment
(205,000) in 1996. Other industry groups (at the
three-digit SIC code level) with a substantial
portion of the sector's economic activity were
miscellaneous nonmetallic mineral products (SIC
code 329), with $13.24 billion in shipments, and
pressed or blown glass and glassware (SIC code
322), with $10.06 billion in shipments.
Industries that accounted for most of the stone,
clay, glass, and concrete sector's reporting of TRI
releases and waste management represented smaller
levels of economic activity within the sector. These
industries include hydraulic cement (SIC code
3241), with $5.82 billion in 1996 shipments;
miscellaneous pressed and blown glass (SIC code
3229) with $5.72 billion; and mineral wool (SIC
code 3296, primarily fiberglass) with $4.15 billion.

*nec: not elsewhere classified; these are generally referred to as "miscellaneous" products in their categories.
The manufacture of hydraulic cement (SIC code
3241), such as Portland cement, generally requires
two types of raw materials: Limestone or chalk is
used to supply calcium, and clay or shale supplies
silica. These materials are mixed with sand and sent
through a rotary kiln to produce clinker (hard
nodules). Clinker is then ground to a powder that
will harden when reacted with water. Cements for
special purposes undergo similar manufacture.
White cement, for example, is made using raw
materials .with little iron content. Pozzolana cement
is made by incorporating natural materials such as
diatomaceous earths or shales. Masonry cement
also incorporates pozzolans, in addition to hydrated
lime, air-entraining agents, and other constituents.
Because of the high temperatures involved, cement
kilns often receive hazardous and other wastes for
waste management purposes. This practice
accounts for the industry's reporting of large
amounts of energy recovery of TRI chemicals such
as toluene. These chemicals are combusted in waste
used as fuel.
Glass is manufactured by melting sand, limestone
(for calcium and magnesium), and other substances
at high temperatures. More than 90% of all glass is
produced by combining soda, lime, and silica to
obtain a material that can be melted and worked at
a reasonable temperature and yet yield a durable
product. Powdered anthracite coal may be used as a
reducing agent. Iron, chromium, cerium, cobalt, or
nickel may be added as a colorant. Boric oxide is
used to make glass that better withstands heat;
products include ovenware, laboratory equipment,
and piping. Lead lowers the melting point of glass,
enabling it to be worked through a broad
temperature range. Lead oxide increases the
refractive index of glass, often used in the
production of optical glass.

Air emissions result from both raw materials and
additives during the melting process in glass
production, along with releases of nitrogen oxides
and sulfur oxides from fuel combustion. Chemicals
applied during finishing processes include
hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids, potassium nitrate,
chromic and sulfuric acid mixtures, and others.
Solvents are used as cleaning agents, once the glass
products are formed, cooled, and treated.
Mineral wool (SIC code 3296) is an inorganic
fibrous material processed by steam blasting and
cooling molten silicate or a similar substance. The
chief use of this material is insulation. The fibers
may be processed into flexible blanket forms,
pressed (with organic binders) into flexible or rigid
felts, or vacuum-formed into intricate rigid shapes.
Textile fiberglass (or electrical glass), made in this
industry, is used in the production of fireproof
cloth.

Chapter 11 —TRI Data for Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete
However, the mineral wool industry did not rank
among the top three industries in the sector for any
other summary category shown in Table 11-1.
The hydraulic cement industry (SIC code 3241)
ranked second for on-site releases with 6.4 million
pounds, 19.5% of the sector's on-site releases. The
miscellaneous pressed and blown glass industry
(SIC code 3229) ranked second for total on- and
off-site releases with 7.3 million pounds, 18.9% of
the sector's total on- and off-site releases.
Miscellaneous pressed and blown glass (SIC code
3229) also reported the largest off-site releases in
this sector, with 3.7 million pounds. This amount
was 60.8% of the sector's total of 6.1 million
pounds of off-site releases. Ranking second, the
asbestos products industry (SIC code 3292)
reported 649,000 pounds, or 10.6% of the total.
The hydraulic cement industry (SIC code 3241)
reported the largest amounts of other on-site waste
management and total production-related waste in
the stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector, as shown
in Table 11-1. This industry reported 416.8 million
pounds of other on-site waste management, two-
thirds (67.5%) of the sector's total of 617.8 million
pounds. Hydraulic cement also accounted for 425.3
million pounds of total production-related waste,
nearly two-thirds (63.6%) of the sector's total of
668.8 million pounds. The miscellaneous pressed
and blown glass industry (SIC code 3229) ranked
second in both categories, with 139.0 million
pounds of other on-site waste management and
150.6 million pounds of total production-related
waste. These amounts were 22.5% of each of these
categories for the sector as a whole.
Miscellaneous pressed and blown glass (SIC code
3229) ranked first for reporting of transfers off-site
for further waste management, with 3.1 million
pounds, which was 29.5% of the sector's total of
10.6 million pounds. Ground or treated minerals
(SIC code 3295) ranked second in this category
with 1.7 million pounds (15.6%).
Multiple SIC Codes in SIC Code 32
Some facilities in the stone, clay, glass, and
concrete sector manufacture products that are
classified in related, but distinct SIC codes. A
facility may manufacture both flat glass (SIC code
3211) and products made of purchased glass (SIC
code 3231). Another facility may produce both
ground or treated minerals (SIC code 3295) and
miscellaneous nonmetallic mineral products (SIC
code 3299). Such facilities will report multiple SIC
codes on their TRI forms. (Box 1-5 in Chapter 1
further explains reporting of multiple SIC codes
and its affect on the analyses presented in the TRI
data release.)
Table 11-2 examines TRI reporting on forms that
reported more than one SIC code within SIC code
32. There were 64 such forms. The most frequent
combination, appearing on 24 of the forms, was
clay refractories (SIC code 3255) and non-clay
refractories (SIC code 3297). These facilities
manufacture refractories (bricks and other shapes)
and crucibles for use in high-heat furnaces. Ten
forms combined ground or treated minerals (SIC
code 3295) and miscellaneous nonmetallic mineral
products (SIC code 3299).
The 64 multiple-codes forms in SIC code 32
reported 814,000 pounds of total on- and off-site
releases, 2.3 million pounds of other on-site waste
management, 370,000 pounds of transfers off-site
for further waste management, and 3.6 million
pounds of total production-related waste, as shown
in Table 11-2. The combination of flat glass (SIC
code 3211) and products made of purchased glass
(SIC code 3231) reported the largest total on- and
off-site releases, 474,000 pounds. A combination of
three products—miscellaneous pressed and blown
glass (SIC code 3229), non-clay refractories

mineral products (SIC code 3299)—reported the
largest total production-related waste, 2.0 million
pounds.
On- and Off-site Releases
The stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector reported
30.0 million pounds of air emissions in 1996, which
was 77.5% of all on- and off-site releases reported
by this sector. The sector also reported 2.4 million
pounds of other on-site land releases and 6.1
million pounds of off-site releases (transfers to
disposal). These amounts were 6.2% and 15.9%,
respectively, of total releases. Other types of
releases accounted for less than 0.5% each of the
sector's total. Table 11-3 presents on- and off-site
releases reported by the stone, clay, glass, and
concrete sector in 1996. Figure 11-1 illustrates the
distribution of these releases by type.
The mineral wool industry (SIC code 3296)
reported the largest air emissions in the stone, clay,
glass, and concrete sector. This industry reported
9.9 million pounds (33.0% of the sector's total air
emissions), including 5.0 million pounds of
ammonia and 2.0 million pounds of formaldehyde.
The hydraulic cement industry (SIC code 3241)
reported the second-largest air emissions, with 5.7
million pounds (18.9%), including 4.5 million
pounds of hydrochloric acid. The industry with the
third-largest reported air emissions was brick and
structural clay tile manufacturing (SIC code 3251),
with 4.6 million pounds (15.4%), including 3.7
million pounds of hydrogen fluoride.
The clay refractories industry (SIC code 3255)
ranked first for other on-site land releases in this
sector, reporting 1.0 million pounds, or 41.5% of
the sector's total, almost all of which was
phosphoric acid. Hydraulic cement production (SIC
code 3241) accounted for the second-largest other
on-site land releases with 671,000 pounds (27.8%).
Mineral wool (SIC code 3296) ranked third, with
269,000 pounds (11.1%).
Miscellaneous pressed and blown glass production
(SIC code 3229) reported the sector's largest off-
site releases (transfers to disposal), with 3.7 million
pounds or 60.8% of the total. This industry reported
transferring 2.7 million pounds of lead compounds
off-site to disposal, and one facility in this industry

management method. The industry reported on-site
energy recovery of 121.2 million pounds of toluene
and 116.6 million pounds of xylenes. One facility
in SIC code 3241 reported 15.0 million pounds of
toluene and 19.0 million pounds of xylenes burned
on-site for energy recovery. Another facility in this
industry reported 14.2 million pounds of toluene,
and a third facility reported 20.3 million pounds of
xylenes, both in energy recovery. The ground or
treated minerals industry (SIC code 3295) ranked
second among stone, clay, glass, and concrete
industries with 35.2 million pounds (7.9%) in
energy recovery. Few other industries in this sector
reported on-site energy recovery.

86.0 million pounds of production-related waste in
Missouri and 82.5 million pounds in Pennsylvania,
placing these states second and third after Ohio.
These amounts were 12.9% and 12.3%,
respectively, of the sector's reported total
production-related waste in 1996.
Map 11-1 illustrates the geographic distribution of
total on- and off-site releases in the stone, clay,
glass, and concrete sector.
1! 996 TRI Data by
Chemical for Stone, Clay,
Glass, and Concrete
As shown in Table 11-7, on- and off-site releases of
the 15 chemicals reported in the largest amounts by
the stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector totaled
33.2 million pounds in 1996. This was 85.7% of the
sector's total on- and off-site releases. Reporting of
these chemicals included 26.1 million pounds of air
emissions and 5.4 million pounds of off-site
releases, approximately 87% of the sector's totals
in these two categories.
The top 15 chemicals also accounted for 69.6% (1.7
million pounds) of other on-site land releases,
54.9% (58,000 pounds) of releases to RCRA
subtitle C landfills, and 33.1% (15,000 pounds) of
surface water discharges reported by the stone,
clay, glass, and concrete sector.
Air emissions accounted for 90% or more of the
sector's releases of nine of the 15 chemicals—
including 98% or more of the releases of the top
three chemicals: ammonia (7.3 million pounds of
air emissions), hydrochloric acid (7.2 million
pounds), and hydrogen fluoride (4.7 million
pounds). As noted earlier, the mineral wool
industry (SIC code 3296) reported 5.0 million
pounds of the sector's air emissions of ammonia,
and the hydraulic cement industry (SIC code 3241)
reported air emissions of 4.5 million pounds

reported by one facility). The miscellaneous
pressed and blown glass industry (SIC code 3229)
also reported air emissions of 1.4 million pounds of
hydrochloric acid (including 1.2 million pounds
reported by one facility). The brick and structural
clay tile industry (SIC code 3251) reported 3.7
million pounds of hydrogen fluoride.
For four chemicals, off-site releases (transfers to
disposal) amounted to 80% or more of total
releases. Three of these were metal compounds:
lead compounds (ranked fourth overall) with 2.8
million pounds of off-site releases; barium
compounds (ranked 10th) with 717,000 pounds of
off-site releases; and zinc compounds (ranked llth)
with 731,000 pounds of off-site releases. As noted
earlier, the miscellaneous pressed and blown glass
industry (SIC code 3229) reported 2.7 million
pounds of off-site releases of lead compounds,
including reporting by one facility of 969,000
pounds. The stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector
also reported relatively large amounts of off-site
releases of asbestos, the 15th-ranked chemical
(512,000 pounds). These four chemicals accounted
for 77.1% of the sector's total off-site releases.
The great majority (92.5%, or 1.0 million pounds)
of phosphoric acid releases were reported as other
on-site land releases by the clay refractories
industry (SIC code 3255). For chromium
compounds, the stone, clay, glass, and concrete
sector reported 176,000 pounds of other on-site
land releases and 403,000 pounds of off-site
releases (transfers to disposal).
OSHA Carcinogens
The stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector reported
4.1 million pounds of on- and off-site releases of
chemicals designated as OSHA carcinogens in
1996, as shown in Table 11-8. (OSHA carcinogens
and the bases for their designation appear in Box 1-
9 in Chapter 1.) These chemicals represented
approximately 11% of the sector's reported
amounts for air emissions (3.3 million pounds), off-
site releases (transfers to disposal, 629,000
pounds), and total on- and off-site releases (4.1

million pounds). They also amounted to 7.1% of
the sector's reported other on-site land releases.
Three of the top 15 chemicals for total on- and off-
site releases reported by this sector were OSHA
carcinogens: formaldehyde, styrene, and asbestos
(see Table 11-7). Reported formaldehyde releases
of 2.2 million pounds included 2.1 million pounds
of air emissions. As noted, the mineral wool
industry (SIC code 3296) reported 2.0 million
pounds of the formaldehyde air emissions. Almost
all of the 611,000 pounds of styrene releases were
also air emissions. As noted above, most of the
521,000 pounds of asbestos releases were reported
as off-site releases (transfers to disposal). The
stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector also reported
releases of 231,000 pounds of dichloromethane and
94,000 pounds of tetrachloroethylene. These five
chemicals constituted approximately 90% of the
sector's reported releases of OSHA carcinogens in
1996.
The mineral wool industry (SIC code 3296)
reported the largest releases of OSHA carcinogens,
2.2 million pounds, mostly as air emissions.
Asbestos products (SIC code 3292) ranked second
for releases of these chemicals, with 589,000
pounds, primarily as off-site releases (transfers to
disposal). Miscellaneous pressed and blown glass
(SIC code 3229) reported the third-largest total
releases, 403,000 pounds, primarily as air
emissions.
Figure 11-7 shows the on- and off-site releases of
the four-digit SIC codes with the largest OSHA
carcinogen releases.

1996 TRI Chemicals in
Waste for Stone, Clay,
Glass, and Concrete
The stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector reported
total production-related waste of 668.8 million
pounds in 1996, as shown in Table 11-9. On-site
energy recovery accounted for two-thirds (66.6%)
of this total, or 445.3 million pounds. On-site
recycling was the second-largest waste
management method reported, accounting for
nearly one-fourth (22.4%) of total production-
related waste, or 149.8 million pounds. The sector
also reported 40.1 million pounds released on- and
off-site, which was 6.0% of the total. Other waste
management options represented less than 4% each
of the sector's total production-related waste.
Figure 11-8 illustrates the distribution of waste
management quantities reported in the stone, clay,
glass, and concrete sector, by type of waste
management.
The hydraulic cement industry (SIC code 3241)
reported 405.7 million pounds of on-site energy
recovery in 1996, which was 91.1% of the sector's
total in this waste management type. This industry
also reported the sector's largest amounts of on-site
treatment (11.1 million pounds, 48.7% of the
sector's total on-site treatment). The miscellaneous
pressed and blown glass industry (SIC code 3229)
reported 136.0 million pounds of on-site recycling,
90.8% of the sector's total in this category. This
industry also reported the sector's largest amounts
of off-site recycling (1.6 million pounds, or 44.9%
of the total) and off-site treatment (2.5 million
pounds, or 56.2%).

In the remaining waste management categories, the
ground or treated minerals industry (SIC code
3295) reported the largest amounts of off-site
energy recovery (1.5 million pounds, or 53.4% of
the sector's total), and the mineral wool industry
(SIC code 3296) reported the largest quantities
released (11.3 million pounds, or 28.2%).

waste management quantities for the next two years
in their TRI submissions.) The sector projected an
1.0% decrease in total production-related waste,
from 668.8 million pounds in 1996 to 661.9 million
pounds in 1998.
The stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector projected
decreases from 1996 to 1998 of more than 2 million
pounds each in on-site energy recovery (from 445.3
million pounds to 442.9 million pounds), on-site
treatment (from 22.7 million pounds to 19.7 million
pounds), and quantities released (from 40.1 million
pounds to 36.6 million pounds). These projections
would represent decreases of 0.5%, 13.1%, and
8.7% respectively.
Smaller absolute decreases were projected in off-
site recycling (from 3.6 million pounds to 3.3
million pounds, or 8.4%) and off-site treatment
(from 4.4 million pounds to 3.8 million pounds, or
12.8%).
The sector projected a 2.6 million-pound increase
in on-site recycling (from 149.8 million pounds to
152.4 million pounds), along with a 248,000 pound
increase in off-site energy recovery (from 2.9
million pounds to 3.1 million pounds). These
projections would amount to increases of 1.7% and
8.6%, respectively.
Figure 11-10 illustrates the stone, clay, glass, and
concrete sector's projected percentage changes in
waste management for 1996 to 1998.
These projections indicate little or no improvement
in the way the stone, clay, glass, and concrete
sector manages its TRI chemicals in waste, as
measured by the waste management hierarchy,
explained in Chapter 1. From 1996 to 1998,
recycling (on-site) would increase from 22.4% to
23.0% of total production-related waste, while
releases would decrease from 6.0% to 5.5%. In the
waste management hierarchy, recycling is the most

cannot be prevented, and release is the least
desirable option. The projected changes, however,
are too small to suggest any notable improvement
in the sector's environmental performance.
Source Reduction Activity
In the stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector, 15.9%
of the forms submitted indicated one or more
source reduction activities underway during the
year. Table 11-11 presents the sector's reporting of
source reduction activity. The hydraulic cement
industry (SIC code 3241) submitted the largest
number of forms indicating source reduction
activity with 46 forms, just 10.4% of that industry's
1996 forms. Miscellaneous pressed and blown glass
(SIC code 3229) ranked second with 35 forms
(27.1%), and ground or treated minerals (SIC code
3295) ranked third with 31 forms (20.7%).
The source reduction activities most frequently
reported in this sector were improving operating
practices (125 forms), modifying processes (77
forms), and modifying raw materials (72 forms).

explained in Chapter 1.) This is in contrast to the
average for all reporting sectors, which showed a
4.2% decrease in total forms submitted and an
11.8% increase in Form As from 1995 to 1996.
On- and Off-site Releases
From 1995 to 1996, on- and off-site releases
reported by the stone, clay, glass, and concrete
sector increased from 32.3 million pounds to 38.7
million pounds, an increase of 19.9% or 6.4 million
pounds. Table 11-12 presents the sector's reporting
of on- and off-site releases for 1995 and 1996, and
Figure 11-11 illustrates the percentage change in
releases by type.
Most of the sector's increase in on- and off-site
releases occurred in reporting of point-source air
emissions, which increased 21.8%, from 23.1
million pounds in 1995 to 28.2 million pounds in
1996. Reporting of on-site land releases more than
doubled, a 112.1% increase from 1.2 million
pounds to 2.5 million pounds. Smaller absolute
increases were reported in fugitive air emissions
(from 1.8 million pounds to 1.9 million pounds)
and off-site releases (transfers to disposal, 6.0
million pounds to 6.1 million pounds).
The sector reported decreases, also relatively small
in absolute terms, in surface water discharges (from

Other On-site Waste Management
The stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector reported
a 24.1 % decrease from 814.1 million pounds of
other on-site waste management in 1995 to 617.8
million pounds in 1996, a reduction of 196.3
million pounds. The sector's reporting of other on-
site waste management in 1995 and 1996 appears in
Table 11-12.
The largest factor in this reduction was energy
recovery. The sector reported 590.5 million pounds
of on-site energy recovery in 1995 and 445.3
million pounds in 1996, a reduction of 24.6% or
145.2 million pounds. On-site treatment also
decreased from 90.8 million pounds to 22.7 million
pounds, a reduction of 75.0% or 68.1 million
pounds. In 1995, one facility reported large
quantities of on-site energy recovery (80.7 million
pounds) and on-site treatment (72.7 million
pounds) of a mixture identified as nonchlorinated
solvents in waste fuel. In 1996, this facility did not
report a mixture, but instead reported smaller
quantities of constituents of the mixture.
On-site recycling reported by the stone, clay, glass,
and concrete sector increased from 132.8 million
pounds to 149.8 million pounds, a 12.8% increase
or 17.1 million pounds.

Chapter 11 — TRI Data for Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector reported
an increase in transfers off-site for further waste
management from 9.7 million pounds in 1995 to
10.6 million pounds in 1996, as shown in Table 11-
12. This 9.2% overall increase reflected increases
of 16.8% in transfers to recycling (from 3.1 million
pounds in 1995 to 3.7 million pounds in 1996),
30.9% in transfers to treatment (from 2.3 million
pounds to 3.0 million pounds), and 5.2% in
transfers to POTWs (from 970,000 pounds to 1.0
million pounds).
The sector reported a decrease of 12.6% in transfers
to energy recovery, from 3.3 million pounds in
1995 to 2.9 million pounds in 1996.
1988-1996 TRS Data for Stone, Clay,
Glass, and Concrete
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRI baseline year to the current year rely on
the list of "core" TRI chemicals that were
reportable, with the same reporting definition, in all
years. These multi-year comparisons also review
only the data elements that were collected in all
years, which excludes from this section any
analysis that distinguishes RCRA subtitle C
landfills from other land releases as well as analysis
based on the types of underground injection wells.
On-site waste management data and transfers off-
site to recycling and to energy recovery have been
collected only since 1991; these data are included,
but cannot-be compared across the full 1988-1996
period.
From 1988 to 1996, the number of forms submitted
by the stone, clay, glass, and concrete sector
increased 18.1% from 1,264 forms to 1,493 forms,
as shown in Table 11-13. At the same time, on- and
off-site releases decreased 42.6%, from 40.5
million pounds to 23.3 million pounds. All release
types showed decreases, except for a nominal
increase (from zero to 1,000 pounds) in
underground injection. Much of the overall
reduction was attributable to a 10.3 million-pound
reduction in off-site releases (transfers to disposal),
from 16.3 million pounds in 1988 to 6.0 million
pounds in 1996. This was a reduction of 63.4%.
Fugitive air emissions decreased 79.3% from 6.5
million pounds to 1.3 million pounds, the largest
reduction (5.2 million pounds) among on-site
releases reported by the stone, clay, glass, and
concrete sector. Point-source air emissions,
reported in larger amounts by this sector, decreased
7.5%, from 14.6 million pounds to 13.5 million
pounds, a 1.1 million-pound reduction. Smaller
absolute reductions were reported in surface water
discharges (from 105,000 pounds to 17,000
pounds) and on-site land releases (from 3.0 million
pounds to 2.4 million pounds).
Figure 11-12 illustrates percentage changes in the
stone, clay, glass, and concrete's reporting of on-
and off-site releases from 1988 to 1996.
On-site waste management and transfers off-site for
recycling or energy recovery were not collected in
1988. For the 1994-1996 period, the sector reported
a 366.3 million-pound reduction in other on-site
waste management, from 974.8 million pounds to
608.5 million pounds. Other on-site waste
management data for the stone, clay, glass, and
concrete sector also appear in Table 11-13.
The sector reported a 428.6 million-pound
reduction in on-site energy recovery, from 867.0
million pounds in 1994 to 438.4 million pounds in
1996. This reduction accounted for the overall
decrease in the sector's reporting of other on-site
waste management, partly offset by increases in
both on-site recycling (from 93.6 million pounds to
149.5 million pounds) and on-site treatment (from
14.2 million pounds to 20.6 million pounds). One
facility reported 122.1 million pounds of on-site
energy recovery of a mixture (identified as
nonchlorinated waste fuels) in 1994. In subsequent

years, this facility did not report a mixture, but
instead reported smaller quantities of constituents
of the mixture.
For transfers off-site for further waste management
reported in all years from 1988 to 1996, the stone,
clay, glass, and concrete sector reported an 11.1%
increase in transfers to treatment (from 2.6 million
pounds to 2.8 million pounds) and a 5.2% increase
in transfers to POTWs (from 628,000 pounds to
661,000 pounds).
1988-1996 Data for Four-Digit Industries in
Stone, Clay. Glass, and Concrete
Tables 11-14 through 11-16 summarize data for
1988 and 1994-1996 for industries at the four-digit
SIC code level within SIC code 32. The tables
present, respectively, on- and off-site releases,
other on-site waste management, and transfers off-
site for further waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
The hydraulic cement industry (SIC code 3241)
reported the largest decrease in on- and off-site
releases reported in the stone, clay, glass, and
concrete sector, from 6.7 million pounds in 1988 to
1.2 million pounds in 1996. This reduction was
largely attributable to a decrease in off-site releases
(transfers to disposal). Ranking second, the
asbestos products industry (SIC code 3292)
reported 4.6 million pounds in 1988 and 1.2 million
389

pounds in 1996, although total on- and off-site
releases reported by this industry increased from
1994 to 1996. The 1988-1996 reduction reflected
decreases in on-site land releases and off-site
releases (transfers to disposal). The ceramic wall
and floor tile industry (SIC code 3253) ranked third
with a decrease from 3.5 million pounds in 1988 to
1.0 million pounds in 1996. This reduction
occurred principally in reporting of air emissions.
The brick and structural clay tile industry (SIC code
3251) ranked first among stone, clay, glass, and
concrete industries for increases in releases. This
industry reported 801,000 pounds in 1988 and 3.8
million pounds in 1996. The mineral wool industry
(SIC code 3296) ranked second with an increase
from 3.5 million pounds to 5.2 million pounds. In
both industries, increased air emissions were the
largest factor. The clay refractories industry (SIC
code 3255) reported the third-largest increase, from
297,000 pounds to 1.1 million pounds, although the
1995 level was lower. This increase was largely
attributable to reporting of on-site land releases.
Table 11-14 provides release data for all four-digit
SIC codes in the stone, clay, glass, and concrete
sector, for 1988-1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
The hydraulic cement industry (SIC code 3241)
reported the largest decrease hi on-site waste
management in the stone, clay, glass, and concrete
sector for 1994-1996 (on-site waste management
data were not collected in 1988). This industry
reported 811.9 million pounds of other on-site
waste management in 1994 and 410.9 million
pounds in 1996. The ground or treated minerals
industry (SIC code 3295) reported the second-
largest reduction, from 56.3 million pounds to 34.2
million pounds. In both industries, the reduction
occurred principally in on-site energy recovery.
Ranking third, the non-clay refractories industry
(SIC code 3297) reported a decrease from 4.6
million pounds to 2.1 million pounds, largely hi on-
site recycling.
Miscellaneous pressed and blown glass (SIC code
3229) ranked first for increases in other on-site
waste management reported by the stone, clay,
glass, and concrete sector. This industry reported
86.7 million pounds in 1994 and 138.7 million
pounds in 1996. The asbestos products industry
(SIC code 3292) ranked second with reported on-
site waste management of 823,000 pounds in 1994
and 5.2 million pounds in 1996. In both industries,
the increases reflected increased reporting of on-site
recycling. The mineral wool industry (SIC code
3296) reported the third-largest increase, from 2.9
million pounds to 5.4 million pounds. This increase
consisted of increases in on-site recycling and on-
site treatment.
On-site waste management data for 1994-1996
appear in Table 11-15.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The hydraulic cement industry (SIC code 3241)
reported the sector's largest reduction in transfers
off-site for further waste management from 1994 to
1996 (data for some types of off-site transfers were
not collected in 1988). As noted, this industry also
reported the largest reductions in on- and off-site
releases and in other on-site waste management.
The hydraulic cement industry reported 4.3 million
pounds of transfers off-site for further waste
management in 1994 and 1.6 million pounds in
1996. The largest reduction was reported in
transfers to energy recovery. The glass containers
industry (SIC code 3221) reported the second-
largest decrease, from 526,000 pounds to 3,000
pounds. Ranking third, the miscellaneous concrete
products industry (SIC code 3272) reported a
decrease from 366,000 pounds and 116,000
pounds. For the glass containers industry and the
miscellaneous concrete products industry, the
overall reduction was principally attributable to
transfers to recycling, along with smaller reductions
in other types of transfers.

Note: On-site Releases from Section 5 of Form R and Off-site Releases from Section 6 (transfers off-site to disposal) of Form R. Forms with more than one
4-digit SIC code within SIC code 32 are assigned to the "multiple" category. One facility reported incorrectly in SIC code 3271 for 1988. The facility should
have reported in SIC code 3721. The incorrectly reported amounts were as follows: 1,851,500 pounds of total air emissions, 20,000 pounds of surface water
discharges and 1,871,500 pounds of total releases. Examination of TRI data has brought to light other possible reporting errors that could significantly impact the
data for SIC code 32. At the time of publication, these data quality issues remained unresolved.

Note: On-site Releases from Section 5 of Form R and Off-site Releases from Section 6 (transfers off-site to disposal) of Form R. Forms with more than one
4-digit SIC code within SIC code 32 are assigned to the "multiple" category. One facility reported incorrectly in SIC code 3271 for 1988. The facility should

*nec: not elsewhere classified.
The miscellaneous pressed and blown glass
industry (SIC code 3229) reported the sector's
largest increase from 1994 to 1996 in transfers off-
site for further waste management, an increase from
1.8 million pounds to 2.8 million pounds, in all
types of transfers except those to energy recovery.
The mineral wool industry (SIC code 3296) ranked
second for increases, reporting 447,000 pounds in
1994 and 1.2 million pounds in 1996. This industry
reported increases in transfers to recycling and to
treatment. Ranking third, the vitreous plumbing
industry (SIC code 3261) reported less than 1,000
pounds in 1994 and 474,000 pounds in 1996. The
increase occurred in reporting of on-site recycling.
M the earlier volume of the 1996 TRI Public Data Release,
EPA included brief descriptions of the facilities with large
increases and decreases in releases and production-related
waste in each sector. In this volume of the data release, EPA
has again attempted to look at these facilities for each sector.
Closer examination of the TRI data at this level has brought
to light a number of reporting discrepancies or possible
reporting errors which cannot be immediately resolved. In
some cases, these discrepancies could significantly impact
the data for the whole sector. As a consequence of these
unresolved data quality issues, the descriptions of the
facilities with increases and decreases in releases from 1988
to 1996 and with increases and decreases in production-
related waste from 1991 to 1996 have been removed from
this chapter. EPA plans to address these data quality issues
through improved outreach and guidance to this sector.

Table 11-16 presents the stone, clay, glass, and
concrete sector's reporting of transfers off-site for
further waste management from 1988 to 1996.
1991-1996 Waste Management Data
for Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete
Table 11-17 summarizes on- and off-site waste
management data for the stone, clay, glass, and
concrete sector for 1991, when TRI began
collecting this information, and the three most
recent years (1994-1996). The sector reported a
decrease in total production-related waste from
945.5 million pounds in 1991 to 642.7 million
pounds in 1996, a reduction of nearly one-third
(32.0%). The largest reduction was reported in on-
site energy recovery, from 781.4 million pounds to
438.4 million pounds (a 343.0 million-pound
reduction, or 43.9%).
The sector also reported decreases in on-site
treatment (from 64.3 million pounds to 20.6 million
pounds, or 67.9%) and in off-site energy recovery
(from 6.8 million pounds to 2.8 million pounds, or
58.7%).
Stone, clay, glass, and concrete industries reported
their largest increase (in pounds and percent) in on-
site recycling, from 64.3 million pounds to 149.7
million pounds (a 132.7% increase). The sector also
reported increases in off-site recycling (from 3.4

A Look at the Fabricated
Metal Products Industry
(SIC Code 34)
The fabricated metal products industry (SIC code
34) manufactures ferrous and nonferrous metal
products ranging from metal cans to hardware to
nonelectric heating equipment and plumbing
fixtures. Structural products classified in this
sector include iron, steel, and other metal
fabricated for use in bridges and buildings, along
with metal sections for ships and boats. Fabricated
plate work includes power boilers, marine boilers,
industrial processing and storage vessels, heat
exchangers, and similar products. The sector also
produces screw machine products (unassembled
parts made to specification on a job basis) and
standard bolts, nuts, screws, and other fasteners.
The metal forgings and stampings group forges
iron, steel, and nonferrous metals for aircraft,
automobiles, railroads, and other uses. The sector
also performs electroplating and finishing of
metals and metal products, along with metal
cutting, engraving, enameling, and galvanizing. In
addition, small arms, ammunition, and
miscellaneous ordnance are classified in SIC code
34, as are valves, springs, metal foil, pipe, and
other miscellaneous fabricated metal products.
Box 12-1 lists Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) codes and their designations for this sector.
In TRI, SIC codes are given as reported by the
facilities; these may differ from information in
economic and other data collections.
The fabricated metal products sector shipped
products valued at $214.01 billion in 1996, up
from $204.4 billion in 1995 (both in current
dollars). The sector employed nearly 1.5 million
in both years. Employment in fabricated metal
products has increased through the 1990s. From
1989 to 1996, production in this sector rose
13.2%, somewhat slower growth than the 17.6%
average for all U.S. manufacturing (see Chapter 1,
Table 1-10).
Three industry groups in SIC code 34 accounted
for the bulk of the value of shipments and
employment in 1996. Fabricated structural metal
products (SIC code 344 at the three-digit level)
shipped products valued at $59.39 billion and
employed 432,000. Metal forgings and stampings
(SIC code 346) recorded $41.28 billion in
shipments and 259,000 in employment.

Chapter 12 — TRI Data for Fabricated Metals
Miscellaneous fabricated metal products (SIC
code 349) had $40.83 billion in value of
shipments and employed 300,000.
Fabricated metal production includes a number of
stages that can result in releases or waste
management of TRI chemicals. Prominent
operations in metal fabrication include forming
(bending and shaping), machining (cutting and
shearing), cleaning and stripping, and surface
treatment and plating. Aqueous solutions,
emulsions, and cutting oils (such as ethylene
glycol) may be used to cool or lubricate metal
pieces during cutting operations. Releases of
glycol ethers to air may result from cutting
operations as well as from coating processes. Air
emissions of solvents such as xylene and toluene
also may result from forming and cutting
operations. Organic solvents, alkalines, and acids
are used in cleaning and degreasing metal
surfaces; these uses also may result in air
emissions, particularly of solvents.
Finishing operations often include plating, which
uses solutions bearing metal ions for deposition
on the surface of the fabricated workpiece.
Chrome (hexavalent or trivalent), copper, gold,
silver, cadmium, zinc, or nickel may be used in
plating tanks. Polishing, hot dip coating, and
etching are other finishing techniques. In plating
and hot dip coating, metal pieces are plated or
coated with another metal. The principal example
of hot dip coating is galvanizing with zinc.
Fabricated metal products may also be painted,
using dry powder or solvent-based or water-borne
formulations. Plating and finishing operations
may result in solvent releases and in waste
management of metals and other TRI chemicals.
1996 TRI Data for
Fabricated Metals
Table 12-1 summarizes TRI reporting by the
fabricated metals sector for 1996. The sector
submitted 7,416 forms in 1996. Of these, 521
were Form A certification statements, certifying
that a facility's total annual report able amount of
a TRI chemical was less than 500 pounds for the
year and that the facility did not manufacture,
process, or otherwise use more than 1 million
pounds. (The Form A certification statement is
explained in Chapter 1.)

The plating and polishing industry (SIC code
3471) submitted 1,241 forms, or 16.7% of the
sector's total in 1996. The metal coating
industry (SIC code 3479) submitted 883 forms
(11.9%). A total of 688 forms (9.3%) reported
more than one SIC code within SIC code 34;
these "multiple-codes" forms are explained
below. Two other industries in the fabricated
metals sector submitted more than 600 forms
each: miscellaneous fabricated metal products
(SIC code 3499), 623 forms; and metal cans
(SIC code 3411), 601 forms. These represented
8.4% and 8.1%, respectively, of all forms
submitted by the sector in 1996.
The metal cans industry (SIC code 3411)
reported the fabricated metals sector's largest
total on- and off-site releases (24.8 million
pounds) in 1996. This amount was 27.5% of the
sector's total of 90.3 million pounds. The metal
cans industry's reported releases consisted
almost entirely of on-site releases: 24.7 million
pounds or 35.2% of the sector's total of 70.3
million pounds. The miscellaneous metal
stampings industry (SIC code 3469) ranked first
for reporting of off-site releases, with 8.3
million pounds, or 41.4% of the sector's total of
19.9 million pounds. The metal coating industry
(SIC code 3479) ranked second in all three
summary release categories shown in Table
12-1: on-site releases (8.5 million pounds, or
12.0% of the sector's total), off-site releases (3.1
million pounds, or 15.5%), and total releases
(11.6 million pounds, or 12.8%).
The plating and polishing industry (SIC code
3471) ranked first in the sector for other on-site
waste management, reporting 55.6 million
pounds, or 19.7% of the sector's total of 282.7
million pounds. The cutlery industry (SIC code
3421) reported the second-largest amount, 46.5
million pounds (16.4%).
Some facilities in the fabricated metals sector
manufacture related, but distinct, product lines
Chapter 12 — TRI Data for Fabricated Metals
that are classified in different SIC codes. A facility
may forge iron and steel (SIC code 3462) and
nonferrous metals (SIC code 3463). Another facility
may manufacture miscellaneous hardware (SIC
code 3429) and also perform plating and polishing
(SIC code 3471) for the fabricated metals trade.
Such facilities may report multiple SIC codes on
their TRI forms. (Box 1-5 in Chapter 1 further
explains reporting of multiple SIC codes and its
affect on the analyses presented in the TRI data
release.) In 1996, these multiple-codes forms
reported the sector's largest amounts of transfers
off-site for further waste management and total
production-related waste.
The multiple-codes group reported 50.0 million
pounds of transfers off-site for further waste
management, 14.9% of the sector's 336.5 million
pounds in this category. These forms also reported
100.1 million pounds of total production-related
waste, 14.0% of the sector's total of 716.2 million
pounds. For transfers off-site for further waste
management, the plumbing fixture fittings and trim
industry (SIC code 3432) ranked second with 41.5
million pounds (12.3%). For total production-
related waste, the plating and polishing industry
(SIC code 3471) ranked second with 90.4 million
pounds (12.6%).
Multiple SIC Codes in SIC Code 34
Table 12-2 further examines reporting on forms that
reported more than one four-digit SIC code within
SIC code 34 in 1996. The largest number of forms
(96 forms) combined plating and polishing (SIC
code 3471) and metal coating (SIC code 3479). The
combination of fabricated structural metal (SIC
code 3441) and fabricated plate work (SIC code
3443) submitted the second-largest number of
multiple-codes forms (31 forms).
Among the multiple-codes forms, the combination
of plating and polishing (SIC code 3471) and metal
coating (SIC code 3479) reported the largest total
on- and off-site releases, with 945,000 pounds. The

Chapter 12 — TRI Data for Fabricated Metals
combination of screw machine products (SIC code
3451), fluid power valves and hose fittings (SIC
code 3492), and miscellaneous valves and pipe
fittings (SIC code 3494) reported the largest total
production-related waste (17.9 million pounds).
On- and Off-site Releases
Air emissions of 69.2 million pounds accounted
for three-fourths (76.7%) of the fabricated metal
sector's reporting of total on- and off-site releases
in 1996. Most of the remainder (22.1%) was
reported as off-site releases (transfers to
disposal), which totaled 19.9 million pounds.
Other types of releases amounted to less than 1%
each of the sector's total on- and off-site releases.
Table 12-3 presents the sector's reporting of on-
and off-site releases in 1996, and Figure 12-1
illustrates their distribution by type of release.
The metal cans industry (SIC code 3411) reported
24.7 million pounds of air emissions (35.7% of the
sector's total), including 11.6 million pounds of

Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
In 1996, the fabricated metals sector reported
more than 90% of its transfers off-site for further
waste management as transfers off-site to
recycling. The sector reported 303.4 million
pounds of transfers to recycling. Other types of
transfers represented less than 5% each of the
sector's total transfers off-site for further waste
management. These were 13.7 million pounds of
transfers to energy recovery, 12.7 million pounds
of transfers to treatment, and 6.6 million pounds
of transfers to POTWs. The sector's reported
amounts of transfers off-site for further waste
management in 1996 appears in Table 12-5.
Figure 12-5 illustrates the percentage distribution
of these transfers by type.
Multiple-codes forms in SIC code 34 ranked first
in the fabricated metals sector for reporting of
transfers to recycling, with 47.2 million pounds,
which was 15.6% of the sector's total. This
amount included 26.4 million pounds of copper.
One multiple-codes facility (reporting SIC codes
3451, 3492, and 3494) reported transferring 12.7
million pounds of copper off-site to recycling.
Ranking second, the plumbing fixture fittings and
trim industry (SIC code 3432) reported 41.3
million pounds (13.6%). This industry reported

Table 12-6 presents 1996 summary TRI data by
state for the fabricated metals sector. Facilities in
the fabricated metals sector are found throughout
the United States. The sector submitted 683 forms
in Illinois and 671 forms in Ohio. These numbers
represented approximately 9% each of the sector's
total of 7,416 forms. The sector submitted 485
forms in Pennsylvania, 465 forms in California,
and 447 forms in Michigan, each about 6% of the

1996 TRI Data by
Chemical for Fabricated
Metals
The top 15 chemicals and chemical categories for
total on- and off-site releases reported by the
fabricated metals sector in 1996 appear in Table
12-7. Releases of these chemicals totaled 78.7
million pounds, or 87.1% of all releases reported
by the sector. Air emissions of 62.8 million
pounds of these chemicals accounted for 90.8% of
the sector's total air emissions. The sector also
reported 15.4 million pounds of off-site releases
(transfers to disposal) of these chemicals, which
was 77.3% of the sector's total reporting in that
category. Air emissions represented 98% or more
of the total on- and off-site releases of 11 of the
top 15 chemicals. The majority of releases for the
remaining four chemicals were reported as off-site
releases (transfers to disposal).
The fabricated metals sector reported 17.2 million
pounds of releases of glycol ethers, the top-ranked
chemical in this sector for releases, as shown in
Table 12-7. Glycol ethers may be used in surface
coalings, as a solvent for enamels and spray
lacquers, and as a degreaser. As noted earlier, the
metal cans industry (SIC code 3411) reported 11.6
million pounds of glycol ethers releases to air.
Reported releases of n-butyl alcohol, which
ranked second, totaled 9.8 million pounds. The
largest use of n-butyl alcohol is in coatings,
specifically in nitrocellulose lacquers. Xylenes,
also a solvent used in coatings, ranked third with
9.4 million pounds. Air emissions dominated the
reported releases for all three chemicals.
Aluminum oxide ranked fourth for total releases,
with 8.5 million pounds, almost entirely as off-site
releases (transfers to disposal). As noted earlier,
one facility in the miscellaneous metal stamping
industry (SIC code 3469) reported 8.0 million
pounds of off-site releases (transfers to disposal)
of aluminum oxide.
OSHA Carcinogens
The fabricated metals sector reported 13.4 million
pounds of releases of chemicals designated as
OSHA carcinogens in 1996, as shown in Table
12-8. (OSHA carcinogens and the bases for their
designation appear in Box 1-9 in Chapter 1.) The
majority—12.3 million pounds or 91.6%—was
reported as air emissions. The sector also reported
994,000 pounds of off-site releases (transfers to
disposal) of OSHA carcinogens.
Three of the sector's top 15 chemicals for total
on- and off-site releases were OSHA carcinogens

emissions. The sector also reported releases of
479,000 pounds of nickel and 416,000 pounds of
nickel compounds, among other OSHA
carcinogens. These were both largely off-site
releases (transfers to disposal).
As shown in Table 12-8, the miscellaneous
fabricated metal products industry (SIC code
3499) reported the largest releases of OSHA
carcinogens in the fabricated metals sector. This
industry reported 2.7 million pounds of total
releases of these chemicals. The plating and
polishing industry (SIC code 3471) ranked
second, reporting 2.03 million pounds of OSHA
carcinogen releases. The multiple-codes group
ranked third with 1.97 million pounds, and the
miscellaneous metal stampings industry (SIC code
3469) ranked fourth with 1.7 million pounds. In
all four industries, half or more of the total on-
and off-site releases consisted of air emissions of
trichloroethylene (miscellaneous fabricated metal
products, 1.5 million pounds; plating and
polishing, 1.2 million pounds; multiple-codes
forms, 964,000 pounds; and miscellaneous metal
stampings, 1.2 million pounds).
Figure 12-7 shows the on- and off-site releases of
the four-digit SIC codes with the largest OSHA
carcinogen releases.
1996 TRI Chemicals in
Waste for Fabricated
Metals
Table 12-9 presents waste management data for
the four-digit SIC codes in the fabricated metals
sector. Nearly half (44.7%) of all production-
related waste was recycled off-site, 319.9 million
pounds out of 716.2 million pounds. On-site
recycling accounted for another 148.0 million
pounds, or 20.7%. The third-largest waste
management option in the fabricated metals sector
was on-site treatment, with 113.7 million pounds

or 15.9%. The sector reported 83.4 million pounds
of quantities released on- and off-site, which was
11.6% of total production-related waste. Other
waste management methods represented less than
5% each of the sector's total. Figure 12-8 shows
the distribution of on-site waste management, off-
site waste management, and quantities released
on- and off-site in this sector.
A total of six industry groups at the four-digit SIC
code level ranked first or second in the various
waste management types shown in Table 12-9.
Multiple-codes forms in SIC code 34 reported the
sector's largest total production-related waste,
with 100.1 million pounds. This multiple-codes
group ranked second for on-site recycling, with

Note: Data from Section 8 of Form R. Forms with more than one 4-digit SIC code within SIC code 34 are assigned to the "multiple" category. One facility
reported incorrectly in SIC code 3999 for 1996. The facility should have reported in SIC code 3499. The incorrectly reported amounts were as follows:
3,209,200 pounds of recycling on-site, 573 pounds of treatment on-site, 206,766 pounds of recycling off-site, 567 pounds of treatment off-site, 13 pounds of
quantity released on- and off-site and 3,417,119 pounds of total production-related waste.

million pounds) and on-site treatment (29.2
million pounds).
Distribution of production-related waste for the
top industries in the sector appears in Figure 12-9.
Projected Quantities of TRI
Chemicals in Waste
The fabricated metals sector's projections of
waste management data through 1998 appear in
Table 12-10. (As explained in Chapter 1, facilities
not only report current data but project waste
management quantities for the next two years in
their TRI submissions.) Total production-related
waste was projected to decrease 4.3% from 716.2
million pounds in 1996 to 685.5 million pounds in
1998. The projected 30.8 million-pound reduction
in total production-related waste reflected
projected decreases in all waste management
methods except on-site energy recovery.

Chapter 12 — TRI Data for Fabricated Metals
The largest reduction (in pounds) was projected in
quantities released, from 83.4 million pounds in
1996 to 73.4 million pounds in 1998. Off-site
recycling was projected to decrease from 319.9

these represented a reduction of more than 9
million pounds. The sector projected a reduction
in on-site recycling from 148.0 million pounds to
142.6 million pounds and a reduction in on-site
treatment from 113.7 million pounds to 108.8
million pounds. Each of these represented a
reduction of about 5 million pounds.
Smaller (absolute) reductions were projected in
off-site energy recovery, from 13.6 million
pounds to 11,8 million pounds (1.8 million-pound
reduction) and in off-site treatment, from 16.5
million pounds to 15.7 million pounds (an
806,000 pound reduction).
In percentage terms, these reductions ranged from
a 2.9% decrease in off-site recycling, the sector's
largest reported method of waste management, to
a 13.5% decrease in off-site energy recovery, the
sector's smallest reported method.

A 1.6 million-pound increase was projected in on-
site energy recovery, from 21.0 million pounds to
22.5 million pounds (a 7.5% increase).
Figure 12-10 illustrates the projected percentage
changes in the fabricated metals sector's waste
management methods.
The projected changes represent little potential
difference in the ways in which the fabricated
metals sector manages its TRI chemicals in waste.
The sector's releases were projected to decline
from 11.6% of total production-related waste in
1996 to 10.7% in 1998. Essentially no change at
all was expected in the proportion of total
production-related waste managed by recycling,
energy recovery, and treatment. Thus, the sector
projected no real movement up the waste
management hierarchy, explained in Chapter 1.

Source Reduction Activity
Of the 7,416 forms submitted by the fabricated
metals sector, 1,440 forms indicated one or more
source reduction activities underway during 1996,
as shown in Table 12-11. The plating and
polishing industry (SIC code 3471) submitted 290
forms indicating such activity. The metal coating
industry (SIC code 3479) submitted 205 forms
indicating source reduction activity. These
submissions represented approximately 23% of
the forms in both industries. In three industrial
groups, more than 100 forms reported source
reduction activity in 1996. These were the
multiple-codes group (124 forms), the metal cans
industry (SIC code 3411, 121 forms), and
miscellaneous fabricated metal products (SIC
code 3499, 114 forms). In these groups, the forms
reporting source reduction activity represented
18% to 20% of all forms submitted.
As shown in Table 12-11, half (728 forms) of the
forms reporting source reduction activity
indicated improved operating practices. Other
activities frequently cited were process
modifications (338 forms) and raw material
modifications (224 forms).

On- and Off-site Releases
Total on- and off-site releases reported by the
fabricated metals sector decreased 7.0% from
1995 to 1996, despite a 51.9% increase in off-site
releases (transfers to disposal), as shown in Table
12-12 and Figure 12-11. On- and off-site releases
totaled 97.0 million pounds in 1995 and 90.3
million pounds in 1996, a reduction of 6.8 million
pounds. Off-site releases (transfers to disposal)
increased from 13.1 million pounds in 1995 to
19.9 million pounds in 1996, an increase of 6.8
million pounds. One facility in the miscellaneous
metal stampings industry (SIC code 3469)

aluminum oxide in 1995 and 8.0 million pounds
in 1996, an increase of 6.9 million pounds.
The largest factor in the overall reduction was a
16.5% decrease in air emissions, from 82.8
million pounds to 69.2 million pounds, a
reduction of 13.6 million pounds. About two-
thirds (63.1%) of this reduction in releases to air
was reported in point-source emissions, and the
remaining third (36.9%) in fugitive emissions.
The sector reported much smaller amounts in
other release types. Surface water discharges
decreased from 395,000 pounds in 1995 to
351,000 pounds in 1996. Underground injection
was less than 1,000 pounds in both years. The
only on-site release type to show an increase was
on-site land releases, which increased from
686,000 pounds to 777,000 pounds.
Other On-site Waste Management
The fabricated metals sector reported 306.2
million pounds of other on-site waste
management in 1995 and 282.7 million pounds in
1996. These data also appear in Table 12-12. This
7.6% reduction amounted to a decrease of 23.4
million pounds. Much of this reduction occurred
in reporting of on-site treatment, which decreased
15.6% (or 21.0 million pounds), from 134.7
million pounds in 1995 to 113.7 million pounds in
1996.
On-site recycling also decreased from 152.1
million pounds to 148.0 million pounds (a 2.7%
reduction), while on-site energy recovery
increased from 19.4 million pounds to 21.0
million pounds (an 8.4% increase).

Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Table 12-12 also presents the fabricated metals
sector's reporting of transfers off-site for further
waste management for 1995 and 1996. Total
transfers off-site for further waste management
decreased 3.5% (12.1 million pounds) from 348.6
million pounds in 1995 to 336.5 million pounds in
1996.
Transfers to recycling were both the largest type
of transfer reported by this sector and the type
with the largest reduction (hi pounds). The sector
reported 316.9 million pounds of transfers to
recycling in 1995 and 303.4 million pounds in
1996. This 4.2% reduction amounted to a decrease
of 13.4 million pounds. A smaller reduction was
reported in transfers to energy recovery (from
14.5 million pounds to 13.7 million pounds).
The sector reported increased amounts for
transfers to treatment (from 11.3 million pounds
to 12.7 million pounds) and to POTWs (from 5.8
million pounds to 6.6 million pounds).
1988-1996 TRI Data for Fabricated
Metals
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRI baseline year to the current year rely on
the list of "core" TRI chemicals that were
reportable, with the same reporting definition, in
all years. These multi-year comparisons also
review only the data elements that were collected
in all years, which excludes from this section any
analysis that distinguishes RCRA subtitle C
landfills from other land releases as well as
analysis based on the types of underground
injection wells. On-site waste management data
and transfers off-site to recycling and to energy
recovery have been collected only since 1991;
these data are included, but cannot be compared
across the full 1988-1996 period.
From 1988 to 1996, the fabricated metals sector's
reporting of on- and off-site releases of the "core"
chemicals decreased by 51.6%, from 160.4 million
pounds to 77.6 million pounds, as shown in Table
12-13. The largest reduction (in pounds) was
reported hi air emissions, from 125.6 million
pounds to 65.5 million pounds. Decreases in both
fugitive and point-source emissions contributed to
this 47.9% reduction in releases to air. The sector
also reported reductions hi other on-site release
types. Although these decreases ranged from
81.8% to 99.6%, they represented smaller
amounts.
The fabricated metals sector reported 30.0 million
pounds of off-site releases (transfers to disposal)
in 1988 and 11.3 million pounds in 1996, a 62.3%
reduction.
Figure 12-12 illustrates the sector's 1988-1996
percentage change in on- and off-site releases.
On-site waste management and transfers off-site
for recycling or energy recovery were not
collected in 1988. For the 1994-1996 period, the
fabricated metals sector recorded a 121.9 million-
pound reduction in other on-site waste
management, from 378.2 million pounds to 256.3
million pounds. This was largely attributable to a
reduction of 112.3 million pounds in on-site
recycling, from 258.5 million pounds to 146.2
million pounds. On-site treatment also decreased,
from 98.9 million pounds to 89.1 million pounds
(a 9.8 million-pound reduction). The sector
reported an increase in on-site energy recovery
from 20.7 million pounds to 21.0 million pounds
(a 250,000 pound increase). These data also
appear in Table 12-13.
The sector reported decreases of 41.0% and
57.2%, respectively, in transfers to treatment and
to POTWs from 1988 to 1996, as shown in Table
12-13. The sector reported 18.4 million pounds of
transfers to treatment in 1988 and 10.9 million

and 2.4 million pounds in 1996.
1988-1996 Data for Four-Digit
Industries in Fabricated Metals
Tables 12-14 through 12-16 summarize data for
1988 and 1994-1996 for industries at the four-
digit SIC code level within SIC code 34. The
tables present, respectively, on- and off-site
releases, other on-site waste management, and
transfers off-site for further waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
The metal cans industry (SIC code 3411) reported
the fabricated metals sector's largest decrease in
on- and off-site releases from 1988 to 1996. This
industry reported releases totaling 37.6 million
pounds in 1988 and 23.4 million pounds in 1996.
The reduction was attributable to decreases in
reported air emissions. The plating and polishing
industry (SIC code 3471) ranked second for
decreases, from 17.5 million pounds to 6.4 million
pounds. Miscellaneous fabricated metal products
(SIC code 3499) reported the third-

Chapter 12 — TRI Data for Fabricated Metals
largest decrease, from 15.0 million pounds to 5.6
million pounds. For plating and polishing and for
miscellaneous fabricated metal products, the
overall reductions reflected decreases in all
release types.
The sheet metal work industry (SIC code 3444)
ranked first for increases in total releases,
reporting 1.2 million pounds in 1988 and 1.6
million pounds in 1996. The increase was largely
attributable to air emissions. The industrial valves
industry (SIC code 3491) reported the sector's
second-largest increase, from 128,000 pounds to
417,000 pounds. This industry reported a larger
increase in air emissions, partly offset by a
reduction in off-site releases (transfers to
disposal). However, both industries showed a
decrease from 1995 to 1996. No other fabricated
metals industry reported an increase in total
releases from 1988 to 1996.
Table 12-14 provides release data for all four-digit
SIC codes in the fabricated metals sector, for
1988-1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
The cutlery industry (SIC code 3421) reported the
largest decrease in other on-site waste
management reported in the fabricated metals
sector for 1994-1996 (on-site waste management
data were not collected in 1988). This industry
reported 111.9 million pounds in 1994 and 46.5
million pounds in 1996. Miscellaneous fabricated
metals products (SIC code 3499) reported the
second-largest reduction, from 64.7 million
pounds to 4.2 million pounds. (One facility
erroneously reported in SIC code 39 in 1996. The
facility should have reported in SIC code 3499.
This error does not affect the ranking of SIC code
3499 as second for decreases in other on-site
waste management.) Ranking third for decreases,
the multiple-codes group reported 50.8 million
pounds in 1994 and 29.9 million pounds
in 1996. The majority of the reduction in all three
industry groups was reported in on-site recycling.
The nonferrous forgings industry (SIC code 3463)
reported the sector's largest increase in other on-
site waste management, from 283,000 pounds in
1994 to 12.9 million pounds in 1996. One facility
in SIC code 3463 submitted forms for copper in
1994 and 1995 with no on-site recycling; in 1996,
this facility reported recycling 12.8 million
pounds of copper on-site. The plating and
polishing industry (SIC code 3471) ranked
second, reporting 36.0 million pounds in 1994 and
44.8 million pounds in 1996, although the total
was smaller (33.1 million pounds) in 1995. The
plumbing fixture fittings and trim industry (SIC
code 3432) reported the third-largest increase,
from 1.6 million pounds to 8.9 million pounds.
The primary component of all three industries'
increases was on-site recycling.
On-site waste management data for 1994-1996
appear in Table 12-15.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The metal cans industry (SIC code 3411) ranked
first for decreases in transfers off-site for further
waste management from 1994 to 1996 (data for
some types of off-site transfers were not collected
in 1988). This industry reported 16.5 million
pounds in 1994 and 10.8 million pounds in 1996.
Miscellaneous fabricated metal products (SIC
code 3499) ranked second, decreasing from 17.8
million pounds to 12.4 million pounds. The
multiple-codes group ranked third, reporting 52.7
million pounds in 1994 and 48.7 million pounds
in 1996. For both the miscellaneous fabricated
metal products industry and the multiple-codes
group, the 1995 levels were higher (18.2 million
pounds and 68.7 million pounds, respectively). In
all three industry groups, transfers to recycling
accounted for the majority of the reduction.

Chapter 12 — TRI Data for Fabricated Metals
The plumbing fixture fittings and trim industry
(SIC code 3432) reported the sector's largest
increase for 1994 to 1996. This industry reported
an increase from 26.7 million pounds to 41.5
million pounds. The miscellaneous metal
stampings industry (SIC code 3469) reported 24.9
million pounds in 1994 and 31.3 million pounds
in 1996, the second-largest increase. Ranking
third, the screw machine products industry (SIC
code 3451) reported an increase from 12.1 million
pounds to 17.8 million pounds. In all three
Industries, the increases were principally
attributable to transfers to recycling.
Table 12-16 presents data for the fabricated
metals sector's reporting of transfers off-site for
further waste management from 1988 to 1996.
Facilities with Lame Increases and
Decreases in Releases. 1988-1996
Metal Container Corporation in New Windsor,
New York (SIC code 3411), ranked first in
increases of releases with 808,000 pounds. A
manufacturer of aluminum can bodies (for end use
by beer and soft drink producers), this facility
reported a 455,000 pound increase in air
emissions of glycol ethers between 1988 and 1996
(56% of the overall change). The chemical is a
solvent in the coatings used to decorate and
protect the cans, according to the facility contact.
The solvent is emitted to the air when the coated
cans are dried in curing ovens. The facility contact
attributed the facility's ranking to lower
production in 1988. The facility was built in 1988
and did not reach full production by the end of the
reporting year. The contact also stated that the
facility plans, this year, to install control
equipment that will reduce future air emissions by
over 40%.
Metal Impact Corporation in Rosemont, Illinois
(did not report in 1988, SIC code 3499 in 1996),
was second in increases with 636,000 pounds.
Because the facility did not report in 1988, the
increase is equal to total releases reported in 1996.
Air emissions of tetrachloroethylene accounted
for 99.9% of the 1996 releases. The facility
contact chose not to comment on the chemical's
usage or the reason for the increase.
U.S. Can Company in Weirton, West Virginia
(SIC code 3411), ranked third with an overall
increase of 581,000 pounds. The metal sheet
coating and printing facility uses glycol ethers as
a wash-up solvent and as a constituent of the
coatings and varnishes applied to metal sheets.
The facility contact stated that these solvents,
coatings, and varnishes are purchased from
outside suppliers. Reported air emissions of the
chemical accounted for 71% of the facility's
increase. Two reasons were given for the increase:
coating and varnish consumption has increased
and the facility switched to butyl cellosolve, a
glycol ether, as its primary wash-up solvent.
Plateco, Inc., in Reedsburg, Wisconsin (SIC code
3471 in 1988, did not report in 1996), was first in
decreases of releases with 4.0 million pounds. The
facility is a zinc-plating job shop. Metal fasteners
for the automotive industry are among Plateco's
primary products. Releases of chromium
compounds totaled 1.5 million pounds in 1988.
The facility did not submit a Form R in 1995 or
1996. No information was provided by the facility
before the deadline for this publication.
Double Eagle Steel Coating Company in
Dearborn, Michigan (SIC code 3479), ranked
second in decreases with 2.9 million pounds. A
manufacturer of electrogalvanized steel
automotive body parts, the facility reported no
releases of zinc compounds in 1996, accounting
for nearly 100% of the decrease. Zinc is the
primary constituent of the coating used in the
metal galvanization process. Excess zinc
compounds were formerly transferred off-site for
disposal but are now purified and sold as a
product to a battery manufacturer, according to
the facility contact.

Chapter 12 — TRI Data for Fabricated Metals
Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., in
Winchester, Virginia (SIC code 3411), was third
in decreases with 2.4 million pounds. Metal is cut
and coated to customer specifications at this plant.
Reported reductions in air emissions of xylene
(mixed isomers), a constituent of solvent-based
coatings and used as a wash-up solvent, accounted
for 76% of the facility's total decrease. Coating
processes were eliminated at the plant resulting in
a significant reduction in xylene usage.
1991-1996 Waste Management Data
for Fabricated Metals
Table 12-17 summarizes on- and off-site waste
management data for the fabricated metals sector
for 1991, when TRI began collecting this
information, and the three most recent years
(1994-1996). From 1991 to 1996, the sector
reported a 5.9% increase in total production-
related waste, from 639.3 million pounds to 676.8
million pounds.
This 37.5 million-pound increase in total
production-related waste reflected a larger
increase in reporting of off-site recycling, partly
offset by sizable reductions in on-site recycling
and quantities released. The sector reported 233.2
million pounds of off-site recycling in 1991 and
318.6 million pounds in 1996, an increase of
36.6% or 85.4 million pounds. At the same time,
on-site recycling decreased 13.0%, from 168.0
million pounds to 146.2 million pounds (a 21.8
million-pound reduction), and quantities released
decreased 34.8%, from 118.4 million pounds to
77.2 million pounds (a 41.2 million-pound
reduction).
Other waste management types showed smaller
absolute changes. The sector reported increases in
on-site energy recovery (from 17.2 million pounds
to 21.0 million pounds), on-site treatment (from
76.5 million pounds to 89.1 million pounds), and
off-site energy recovery (from 12.9 million pounds
to 13.4 million pounds). These increases ranged
from 22.3% for on-site energy recovery to 3.9% for
off-site energy recovery. The sector reported a
13.1% decrease in off-site treatment (from 13.1
million pounds to 11.4 million pounds).
Figure 12-13 shows the percentage changes for
on- and off-site waste management types.
These changes indicate substantial improvement
in the fabricated metals sector's management of
TRI chemicals in waste over time. Specifically,
they show a shift from releases to recycling. The
proportion of total production-related waste
reported as releases decreased (from 18.5% in
1991 to 11.4% in 1996), while the proportion of
total production-related waste recycled on- and
off-site increased (from 62.8% to 68.7%). In
terms of the waste management hierarchy
(explained in Chapter 1), recycling is the most
desirable method for managing waste that cannot
be prevented, while releases are the least desirable
waste management option.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Waste Management, 1991-1996
American Safety Razor, Inc., in Verona, Virginia
(SIC code 3421), ranked first in increases of waste
managed with a 40.7 million-pound increase. A
manufacturer of products ranging from industrial
razor blades to surgical scalpels, the facility uses
trichloroethylene as a degreaser. Reported on-site
recycling of the chemical accounted for 100% of
the increase. According to the facility contact, the
increase in on-site recycling was likely due to a
change in interpretation of how to report this
category.1
There are no TRI regulatory definitions of recycling.
Facilities may use their own interpretations for purposes
of reporting to TRI. Changes in these interpretations do
not represent a change in guidance by EPA on how to
report recycling.

Ilco Unican Corporation in Rocky Mount, North
Carolina (SIC codes 3429, 3469, 3471), was
second in increases with 12.3 million pounds.
Reported on- and off-site recycling of copper
compounds accounted for 79% of the increase. No
data were reported in either category in 1991. This
facility manufactures keys and produces brass on
site. Copper is a constituent of brass. The facility
contact stated that no recycling data were reported
for copper compounds in 1991 because the
recycling system had not yet been implemented.
A. Y. MacDonald Manufacturing Company in
Dubuque, Iowa (SIC code 3494), was the third
ranking facility with an 11.7 million-pound
increase. A manufacturer of brass castings, this
facility provides service products for oil, water,
and gas service industries. On- and off-site
recycling of copper between 1991 and 1996
increased a reported 11.0 million pounds (94% of
the overall increase). Excess brass is remelted and
recast at the plant. The facility contact stated that
two reasons likely contributed to the increase: a
change in interpretation of how to calculate
recycling data2 and a production increase.
Warner-Lambert Company in Milford,
Connecticut (SIC code 3421), ranked first in
decreases of waste managed with a 70.5 million-
pound decrease. The facility, a razor blade
manufacturer, replaced a solvent degreasing

system with an aqueous cleaning process. The
process substitution resulted in the elimination of
trichloroethylene usage at the plant. In 1991,70.4
million pounds of trichloroethylene were managed
as waste.
Double Eagle Steel Coating Company in
Dearborn, Michigan (SIC code 3479), was second
in decreases with 40.7 million pounds. The
facility also ranked second in decreases of
releases (see "Facilities with Large Increases and
Decreases in Releases, 1988-1996"). The
manufacturer of galvanized metal auto-body parts
formerly sent zinc waste off-site for recycling.
Prior to the 1996 reporting year, the facility began
purifying zinc from waste and selling it as a
product to a battery manufacturer. This process
and a reporting interpretation change resulted in a
40.6 million-pound decrease hi reported waste
management of zinc compounds. No data were
reported for zinc in 1996. Aeroquip Corporation
in Van Wert, Ohio (SIC code 3429, 3471,3492),
was third in decreases with 3.7 million pounds.
The manufacturer of industrial connectors
reported 2.2 million-pounds less off-site recycling
of copper in 1996 than 1991. This accounted for
61% of the overall change. The reason for the
decrease was elimination of some products,
according to the facility contact.
Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Production-Related Waste, 1991-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which
have been identified as reporting errors or plant
closures. Because these are errors or plant
closures and not actual changes in the data, these
facilities are not discussed in detail here. There is
one such facility in the metal finishing sector:

Toxics Release Inventory Data
for Industrial Machinery (SIC Code 35)
A Look at the Industrial
and Commercial
Machinery and Computer
Equipment Industry
(SIC Code 35)
The industrial machinery sector (SIC code 35)
manufactures machinery for agriculture,
construction, mining, and oil and gas extraction.
The sector produces industrial engines, as well as
elevators, escalators, conveyors, cranes, hoists, and
monorails. It also manufactures industrial trucks
and related equipment, such as forklifts. This sector
produces machinery and equipment for
metalworking, including machine tools, dies and
tools, and rolling mill machinery. Other products
include machinery for special industries such as
textile manufacture, woodworking, paper
production, printing, and food processing. General
industrial machinery manufactured in SIC code 35
includes pumps, compressors, high-speed drives
and gears, and furnaces and ovens. Other major
industry groups in this sector are computer and
office equipment, and refrigeration and service
industry machinery. Although computers are
classified in SIC code 35, electronic components
such as semiconductors and circuit boards are
classified in the electrical equipment sector (SIC
code 36).
Box 13-1 lists Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) codes and their designations for this sector.
In TRI, SIC codes are given as reported by the
facilities; these may differ from information in
economic and other data collections.
Shipments in the industrial machinery sector rose
from $353.34 billion in 1995 to $381.79 billion in
1996 (both in current dollars). Employment totaled
nearly 2.0 million in both years. Although the
sector experienced a sharp drop in production from
1989 to 1991, rapid recovery followed. By 1996,
industrial machinery production had increased
51.8% over 1989 levels, compared to an increase of
17.6% for all U.S. manufacturing. Only the
electrical equipment sector (SIC code 36) grew
faster (90.3%) during that period (see Chapter 1,
Table 1-10).
The computers and office equipment industry (SIC
code 357 at the three-digit level) shipped products
valued at $103.27 billion, more than one-fourth of
the sector's value of shipments in 1996. However,
this industry group contributed only one-eighth of
the sector's 1996 employment (259,000
employees). This industry group has provided
much of the sector's growth in the 1990s.

Chapter 13 — TRI Data for Industrial Machine*
Six major industry groups shipped products valued
at $35 billion to $42 billion each in 1996. These
were construction machinery (SIC code 353),
metalworking machinery (SIC code 354), special
industry machinery (SIC code 355), general
industrial machinery (SIC code 356), refrigeration
and service machinery (SIC code 358), and
miscellaneous industrial machinery (SIC code 359).
Employment in these more labor-intensive
machinery manufacturing groups ranged from
192,000 to 392,000, or roughly one-tenth to one-
fifth of the sector's total. These industry groups are
particularly sensitive to the economic conditions
that influence the decisions of companies in other
sectors about major equipment purchases.
At the four-digit SIC code level, one industry in
this sector—refrigeration and heating equipment
(SIC code 3585)—reported the largest TRI releases
and waste management in almost all categories.
This industry shipped $28.09 billion in products in
1996 and employed 135,000. Only two four-digit
industries in SIC code 35 had a higher dollar value
of shipments: electronic computers (SIC code
3571) with $59.41 billion and miscellaneous
industrial machinery (SIC code 3599) with $30.75
billion. The United States' ban on the production of
ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), once
widely used as refrigerants, has helped stimulate
this industry to new production of alternative air
conditioning and refrigeration equipment.
This sector produces the machinery and equipment
that makes possible much of the business
conducted in other sectors of the economy,
including manufacturing, construction, and
farming. Some processes used in this sector are
similar to those applied in other sectors, such as
metal fabrication (SIC code 34), electrical
equipment (SIC code 36), or transportation
equipment (SIC code 37). Basic production
processes in metal fabrication consist of casting and
molding, shearing and forming (cutting and
bending materials), machining, heat treatment,
finishing, and assembly. In SIC code 35, these
processes and others are applied in building farm,
construction, and mining equipment, among other
products. Industrial machinery may be built to be
powered electrically, by turbines, or by other
means. Machines produced in this sector vary in
their degree of automation, ranging from
mechanical repetition of a single process such as
stamping to programmable computer-aided
manufacturing. Producers of industrial machinery
may specialize in discrete products such as drills or
conveyors, or they may offer manufacturing
systems which integrate a variety of machine tools,
robots, materials-handling equipment, and other
components.
As in other industrial sectors with comparable
processes, chemical and electrochemical finishing
processes and solvent-based cleaning and surface
preparation represent potentially significant sources
of chemical releases and waste.
1996 TRI Data for
Industrial Machinery
Table 13-1 summarizes TRI reporting by the
industrial machinery sector for 1996. The sector
submitted 2,791 forms in 1996. Of these, 172 were
Form A certification statements, certifying that a
facility's total annual reportable amount of a TRI
chemical was less than 500 pounds for the year and
that the facility did not manufacture, process, or
otherwise use more than 1 million pounds. (The
Form A certification statement is explained in
Chapter 1.)
The refrigeration and heating equipment industry
(SIC code 3585) submitted the most forms (455) in
the industrial machinery sector in 1996, as shown
in Table 13-1. These forms represented 16.3% of
all forms submitted by the sector. The construction
machinery industry (SIC code 3531) ranked second
with 202 forms, or 7.2% of the total. Three other
industries submitted more than 150 forms each:
farm machinery (SIC code 3523) with 179 forms,
miscellaneous internal combustion engines (SIC
code 3519) with 163 forms, and ball and roller
bearings (SIC code 3562) with 152. These

Chapter 13 — TRI Data for Industrial Machinery
industries each represented roughly 6% of the
sector's 1996 submissions.
The refrigeration and heating equipment industry
(SIC code 3585) also ranked first in the industrial
machinery sector for all categories of TRI reporting
summarized in Table 13-1, except off-site releases.
This industry reported 4.5 million pounds of total
on- and off-site releases, including 4.3 million
pounds of on-site releases. These amounts were
more than 20% of the sector's total on- and off-site
releases of 22.1 million pounds and on-site releases
of 19.2 million pounds. The refrigeration and
heating equipment industry also reported 34.7
million pounds of other on-site waste management,
58.6% of the sector's 59.2 million-pound total. The
industry reported 12.9 million pounds of transfers
off-site for further waste management, which was
17.4% of the sector's total of 74.1 million pounds
in that category. Refrigeration and heating
equipment also accounted for 65.5 million pounds
of total production-related waste, 38.7% of the
sector total of 169.5 million pounds.
For both on-site releases and total releases, the farm
machinery industry (SIC code 3523) ranked second
and the construction machinery industry (SIC code
3531) ranked third. The farm machinery industry
reported 3.7 million pounds of total releases, almost
all as on-site releases. This industry accounted for
19.3% of the sector's on-site releases and 17.0% of
the total releases. The construction machinery
industry reported 2.1 million pounds of on-site
releases and total releases, which was 10.7% and
9.7%, respectively, of the sector's total amounts in
those categories.
The carburetors, pistons, rings, and valves industry
(SIC code 3592) ranked first for off-site releases
reported in the industrial machinery sector, with
441,000 pounds. This was 15.4% of the sector's
total of 2.9 million pounds. The machine tool
accessories industry (SIC code 3545) reported the
second-largest off-site releases, with 372,000
pounds (13.0%). Ranking third, the miscellaneous
internal combustion engines industry (SIC code
3519) reported 360,000 pounds (12.6%).
The machine tool accessories industry (SIC code
3545) reported 4.3 million pounds of other on-site
waste management, or 7.3% of the sector's total.
The miscellaneous special industry machinery
industry (SIC code 3559) reported 3.1 million
pounds (5.2%). These industries ranked second and
third for other on-site waste management, after the
refrigeration and heating equipment industry (SIC
code 3585).
Miscellaneous internal combustion engines (SIC
code 3519) ranked second for transfers off-site for
further waste management with 6.0 million pounds
(8.0%) and second for total production-related
waste with 10.4 million pounds (6.1%). However,
both of these amounts included 2.4 million pounds
of aluminum that one facility reported in error.
Only fume and dust forms of aluminum are
reportable to TRI, but the aluminum that this
facility sent to recycling was dross, a waste
material that is neither fume nor dust. Taking into
account this error, forms reporting more than one
SIC code in SIC code 35 ("multiple-codes" forms)
ranked second for off-site transfers (with 5.1
million pounds, or 6.9%), and ball roller bearings
(SIC code 3562) ranked third (with 4.6 million
pounds, or 6.2%). The "multiple-codes" forms
ranked third for total production-related waste (with
7.4 million pounds, or 4.4%). (The "multiple-
codes" forms are explained below.)
Multiple SIC Codes in SIC Code 35
Some facilities in the industrial machinery sector
manufacture distinct, but related, products that are
classified in different SIC codes. A facility that
produces equipment for farm use such as tractors or
harvesters (SIC code 3523) may also produce lawn
and garden equipment (SIC code 3524). A facility
may produce machinery for use in oil and gas fields
(SIC code 3533) and also manufacture pumps and
pumping equipment (SIC code 3561). Such
facilities may report multiple SIC codes on their
TRI forms. (Box 1-5 in Chapter 1 further explains

Chapter 13 — TRI Data for Industrial Machine*
reporting of multiple SIC codes and its affect on the
analyses presented in the TRI data release.)
Table 13-2 further examines multiple-codes reporting
in SIC code 35 in 1996. The most frequent
combination in this sector, reported on 17 forms, was
farm machinery (SIC code 3523) and construction
machinery (SIC code 3531). This combination also
reported the largest total on- and off-site releases
(302,000 pounds) and the second-largest total
production-related waste (1.2 million pounds) among
multiple-codes groups in SIC code 35. The
combination of mining machinery (SIC code 3532),
hoists, cranes, and monorails (SIC code 3536) and
miscellaneous general industrial machinery (SIC code
3569) submitted 12 forms. This group ranked first
among multiple-codes forms for total production-
related waste, reporting 2.3 million pounds.

Section 6 (transfers off-site to disposal) of Form R.
As noted, the carburetors, pistons, rings, and valves
industry (SIC code 3592) ranked first among
industrial machinery industries for off-site releases,
with 441,000 pounds, followed by machine tool
accessories (SIC code 3545), with 372,000 pounds,
and miscellaneous internal combustion engines
industry (SIC code 3519), with 360,000 pounds.
These amounts ranged from 12.6% to 15.4% of the
sector's total off-site releases.
Other On-site Waste Management
The industrial machinery sector reported 49.6
million pounds of on-site recycling in 1996, as
shown in Table 13-4. This amount accounted for
83.8% of the sector's other on-site waste
management. Almost all of the remainder was
reported as on-site treatment: 9.4 million pounds, or
15.9% of the total. Only two of the 50 industry
groups in SIC code 35—industrial furnaces and
ovens (SIC code 3567) and construction machinery
(SIC code 3531)—reported energy recovery, for a
total of 131,000 pounds, or 0.2% of the sector's
total other on-site waste management. Figure 13-3
illustrates the distribution of other on-site waste
management data for the industrial machinery
sector.
The refrigeration and heating equipment industry
(SIC code 3585) reported more than two-thirds
(69.1%) of the sector's on-site recycling. This
industry reported 34.3 million pounds of on-site
recycling, including 22.2 million pounds of 1,1,1-
trichloroethane (TCA). Three facilities in the
refrigeration and heating equipment industry,
owned by the same parent company, reported a
total of 21.3 million pounds of on-site recycling of
TCA. (As described later in this chapter, amounts
reported by these facilities represented reductions
from earlier years.) Ranking second for on-site
recycling, the machine tool accessories industry
(SIC code 3545) reported 4.2 million pounds, 8.4%
of the sector's total. The miscellaneous internal
combustion engines industry (SIC code 3519)
ranked third with 2.4 million pounds (4.7%).
Miscellaneous special industry machinery (SIC
code 3559) accounted for one-third (32.4%) of the
sector's on-site treatment, with 3.1 million pounds.
Miscellaneous general industrial machinery (SIC
code 3569) ranked second for on-site treatment

Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Transfers to recycling accounted for the majority
of transfers off-site for further waste management
reported by the industrial machinery sector in
1996, as shown in Table 13-5. The sector
reported 64.0 million pounds of transfers to
recycling, 86.4% of the sector's total transfers
off-site for further waste management. The sector
also reported 2.5 million pounds (3.4%) of
transfers to energy recovery, 1.3 million pounds
(1.8%) of transfers to treatment, and 4.2 million
pounds (5.6%) of transfers to POTWs. Figure 13-5
illustrates the distribution of these transfers by type.
The refrigeration and heating equipment industry
(SIC code 3585) reported 12.4 million pounds of
transfers to recycling, 19.3% of the total transfers to
recycling. This amount included 7.1 million pounds
of copper. Ranking second in this category, the
miscellaneous internal combustion engines industry
(SIC code 3519) reported 5.1 million pounds (8.0%),
including 2.6 million pounds of aluminum. However,
as noted above, one facility in SIC code 3519
reported in error 2.4 million pounds of aluminum
transferred off-site to recycling. Taking into account
this error, the multiple-codes forms in SIC code 35
ranked second in this category with 5.0 million
pounds (7.8%), and ball and roller bearings (SIC
code 3562) ranked third with 4.5 million pounds
(7.0%).

arc transfers reported without a valid waste management code.
For transfers to POTWs, the miscellaneous service
industry machinery industry (SIC code 3589) and
the computer storage devices industry (SIC code
3572) reported comparable amounts, ranking first
and second in the sector. Miscellaneous service
industry machinery accounted for 991,000 pounds
of transfers to POTWs and computer storage
devices for 975,000 pounds of such transfers. These
amounts represented approximately 24% each of
the sector's total transfers to POTWs. Ranking
third, the miscellaneous internal combustion
engines (SIC code 3519) reported 420,000 pounds,
or 10.1% of the total.

Chapter 13 — TRI Data for Industrial Machine*
1996 TRI Data by State
for Industrial Machinery
As shown in Table 13-6, the industrial machinery
sector submitted more than 200 forms in each of
four states in 1996: Wisconsin (218 forms), Ohio
(214 forms), niinois (213 forms), and
Pennsylvania (206 forms). These numbers
represented nearly 8% each of all forms submitted
by the sector in 1996.
Although the manufacture of industrial machinery
and equipment historically centered in the
Midwest, production of such goods has spread
through much of the United States in recent years.
The sector's current geographic diversity is
evident in the pattern of releases and waste
management reported to TRI. As seen in Table
13-6, no single state or territory accounted for as
much as 10% of the sector's total releases or as
much as 12% of the sector's total production-
related waste in 1996.
The industrial machinery sector reported 1.69
million pounds of on-site releases in Iowa and
1.68 million pounds in Illinois, approximately
8.8% each of the sector's total on-site releases.
Indiana ranked third with 1.2 million pounds
(6.5%). For total on- and off-site releases, niinois
ranked first with 1.9 million pounds (8.5%),
followed by Iowa with 1.7 million pounds (7.8%)
and Wisconsin with 1.5 million pounds (6.8%).
For off-site releases, the top-ranked states were
South Carolina with 521,000 pounds, or 18.2% of
the sector's total; Wisconsin with 395,000
pounds, or 13.8%; and Ohio with 375,000
pounds, or 13.1%.
Puerto Rico ranked first for other on-site waste
management reported by the industrial machinery
sector, with 9.6 million pounds, or 16.2% of the
sector's total other on-site waste management.
One facility in Puerto Rico reported on-site
recycling of 9.0 million pounds of 1,1,1-
trichlorethane in 1996. Georgia ranked second with
7.5 million pounds, or 12.6%. A facility in Georgia
reported on-site recycling of 7.0 million pounds of
1,1,1-trichlorethane. Both the Puerto Rico and
Georgia facilities, owned by the same parent
company, reported in the refrigeration and heating
equipment industry (SIC code 3585). Ranking third
and fourth, Tennessee and Minnesota reported
comparable amounts of other on-site waste
management, with 5.5 million pounds each
(approximately 9.4%).
Wisconsin was the state with the largest transfers off-
site for further waste management reported by the
industrial machinery sector. These transfers totaled
8.3 million pounds in Wisconsin, 11.2% of the
sector's total. However, one Wisconsin facility
reported in error 2.4 million pounds of aluminum
transferred off-site for recycling, as mentioned
earlier. Taking into account this error, New York
ranked first in this category, with 6.4 million pounds
(8.6%), Illinois ranked second with 5.1 million
pounds (6.9%), and Ohio ranked third with 4.8
million pounds (6.5%).
Indiana ranked first for total production-related waste
with 19.1 million pounds (11.2%), followed by
Wisconsin with 15.7 million pounds (9.2%) and
Georgia with 10.3 million pounds (6.1%).
Map 13-1 illustrates the geographic distribution of
total on- and off-site releases in the industrial
machinery sector.
1996 TRI Data by Chemical
for Industrial Machinery
The top 15 chemicals for total on- and off-site
releases in industrial machinery manufacture appear
in Table 13-7. Releases of these chemicals totaled
18.2 million pounds, or 82.6% of the sector's total
releases. Xylenes led this list, with 5.2 million
pounds of total releases. Trichloroethylene ranked
second with 2.0 million pounds, and toluene ranked
third with 1.8 million pounds. These solvents are

used in degreasing metals, among other
applications. For 12 of the 15 top chemicals,
including the three top-ranked chemicals, air
emissions represented 95% or more of the sector's
total releases. As noted earlier, the farm machinery
industry (SIC code 3523) reported 2.2 million
pounds of xylene air emissions, and the
refrigeration and heating equipment industry (SIC
code 3585) reported 835,000 pounds of
trichloroethylene air emissions in 1996.
Off-site releases (transfers to disposal) were the
predominant release type reported for the remaining
three chemicals. The sector reported transfers to
disposal of 725,000 pounds of chromium, 527,000
pounds of manganese, and 411,000 pounds of
nickel.
OSHA Carcinogens
On- and off-site releases in this sector of chemicals
designated OSHA carcinogens totaled 4.3 million
pounds in 1996, as shown in Table 13-8. (OSHA
carcinogens and the bases for their designation
appear in Box 1-9 in Chapter 1.) The majority (3.8
million pounds, or 88.4%) was released to air, and
most of the remainder was released off-site
(transfers to disposal; 490,000 pounds, or 11.5%).
Four of the top 15 chemicals for total releases by
the industrial machinery sector were carcinogens.
These included trichloroethylene with 2.0 million
pounds of releases, tetrachloroethylene with
743,000 pounds, dichloromethane with 648,000
pounds, and nickel with 449,000 pounds. These
chemicals ranked second, eighth, ninth, and
thirteenth, respectively, for total releases reported
by the industrial machinery sector, as shown in
Table 13-7. All three are used in metal cleaning and
degreasing.
The refrigeration and heating equipment industry
(SIC code 3585) reported the sector's largest
releases of OSHA carcinogens, a total of 1.1
million pounds. As mentioned earlier, this included
835,000 pounds of air emissions of
trichloroethylene. The carburetors, pistons, rings,
and valves industry (SIC code 3592) ranked second
for releases of OSHA carcinogens with 793,000
pounds, and the miscellaneous industrial machinery

1996 TRI Chemicals in
Waste for Industrial
Machinery
The industrial machinery sector reported a total of
169.5 million pounds of total production-related
waste in 1996, as shown in Table 13-9. Nearly half
(47.6%) of this consisted of off-site recycling,
which totaled 80.7 million pounds. On-site
recycling of 49.6 million pounds amounted to
29.3% of total production-related waste. Quantities
released on- and off-site totaled 22.3 million
pounds (13.1%), constituting the third-largest type
of waste management reported by the industrial
machinery sector in 1996.
Figure 13-8 illustrates the distribution of
production-related waste by waste management
method for the industrial machinery sector.
The refrigeration and heating equipment industry
(SIC code 3585) reported 34.3 million pounds of
on-site recycling and 25.8 million pounds of off-
site recycling. These amounts represented,
respectively, two-thirds (69.1%) of the sector's
reported on-site recycling and one-third (32.0%) of
the reported off-site recycling. Together, these two
amounts also represented more than one-third
(35.5%) of all production-related waste reported by

the industrial machinery sector in 1996. This
industry also reported the sector's largest quantities
released, 4.4 million pounds or 19.7% of the total in
that category.
The machine tool accessories industry (SIC code
3545) reported the sector's second-largest amount
of on-site recycling: 4.2 million pounds, or 8.4% of
the total in that category. The multiple-codes group
ranked second for reporting of off-site recycling
with 6.2 million pounds, or 7.7%. The farm
machinery industry (SIC code 3523) reported 3.4
million pounds of releases (15.1% of the total) and
ranked second in that category.
The industrial furnaces and ovens industry (SIC
code 3567) reported 110,000 pounds of on-site
energy recovery, and the construction machinery
industry (SIC code 3531) reported 21,000 pounds.
These were the only industrial machinery industries
to report on-site energy recovery in 1996.
Miscellaneous special industry machinery
production (SIC code 3559) accounted for the
largest reported amount of on-site treatment, with
3.1 million pounds (32.4%), followed by
miscellaneous general industrial machinery (SIC
code 3569) with 1.3 million pounds (13.9%).
In the remaining off-site waste management
methods, the construction machinery industry (SIC
code 3531) ranked first for off-site energy recovery,
reporting 692,000 pounds (26.2%). Miscellaneous
internal combustion engines (SIC code 3519)
ranked second with 375,000 (14.2%). The
computer storage devices industry (SIC code 3572)
ranked first for off-site treatment, reporting 989,000
pounds (21.2%), and miscellaneous general
industrial machinery (SIC code 3569) ranked
second, reporting 494,000 pounds (10.6%).
Distribution of production-related waste for the top
industries in the sector appears in Figure 13-9.
Projected Quantities of TRI
Chemicals in Waste
Table 13-10 summarizes the industrial machinery
sector's projections for on- and off-site waste
management through 1998. (As explained in
Chapter 1, facilities not only report current data but
project waste management quantities for the next
two years in their TRI submissions.) Total
production-related waste was projected to decrease
by 17.9% (30.3 million pounds) from 169.5 million
pounds in 1996 to 139.2 million pounds in 1998.
The industrial machinery sector projected decreases
in all waste management types except off-site
recycling and off-site treatment. The largest
reduction, in pounds and percent, was projected in
on-site recycling, a 52.8% decrease from 49.6
million pounds in 1996 to 23.4 million pounds in
1998. This would amount to a 26.2 million-pound
reduction. Three facilities in SIC code 3585 that
reported on-site recycling of large amounts of
1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) in 1996, as mentioned
earlier in this chapter, projected zero amounts of
on-site recycling for this chemical in 1998.
Production of TCA, an ozone-depleting chemical,
was banned effective January 1, 1996, under the
United States' implementation of the Montreal
Protocol to reduce ozone-depleting chemicals.

Together, these facilities would account for a
reduction of 21.3 million pounds. Another facility
in this industry projected a decrease in on-site
recycling of dichloromethane, an OSHA
carcinogen, from 3.2 million pounds in 1996 to
zero pounds in 1998.
Quantities released were expected to decrease from
22.3 million pounds to 18.1 million pounds, a
reduction of 18.9% or 4.2 million pounds. The
sector also projected a 25.3% reduction, or 2.4
million pounds, in on-site treatment from 9.4
million pounds to 7.0 million pounds.
Smaller reductions were projected for on-site
energy recovery (from 131,000 pounds to 110,000
pounds) and off-site energy recovery (from 2.6
million pounds to 2.2 million pounds),
approximately 15% each.
Off-site recycling, the largest type of waste
management reported by the sector in 1996, was
projected to increase 2.3% from 80.7 million
pounds to 82.6 million pounds. Off-site treatment
was projected to increase 22.6%, from 4.7 million
pounds to 5.7 million pounds. These two projected
increases would total an increase of 2.9 million
pounds by 1998.
Figure 13-10 displays the sector's projected
percentage changes in on-site waste management,
off-site waste management, quantities released, and
total production-related waste from 1996 to 1998.
As shown in Table 13-10, the sector projected a
partial shift in where it recycles TRI chemicals in
waste, from on-site to off-site, rather than a change
in waste management methods. On-site recycling
would decrease from 29.3% of total production-

related waste in 1996 to 16.8% in 1998, while off-
site recycling would increase from 47.6% to 59.3%.
The proportion of waste managed by other methods
was projected to remain essentially static through
1998.
The industrial machinery sector reported recycling
more than three-fourths (76.9%) of its production-
related waste in 1996 and, as indicated by the
projections, the sector planned to continue that high
level of recycling activity (76.2%) in 1998. In terms
of the waste management hierarchy, explained in
Chapter 1, recycling is the most desirable option for
managing waste that cannot be prevented.
However, the projections suggest no improvement
in relation to the proportion (13%) of its waste that
the sector reported as releases.
Source Reduction Activity
In 1996, the industrial machinery sector submitted
510 forms that indicated one or more source
reduction activities underway, as shown in Table
13-11. These forms represented 18.3% of the
sector's total submissions for 1996. The
refrigeration and heating equipment industry (SIC
code 3585) filed 106 of these forms, 23.3% of its
submissions and the largest number submitted by
any industrial machinery industry in 1996. In the
farm machinery industry (SIC code 3523), 61 forms
indicated source reduction activity, which was
34.1% of that industry's submissions. Two other
industries in this sector submitted more than 30
forms indicating source reduction activity in 1996:
construction machinery (SIC code 3531) with 39

such forms (19.3% of its forms) and ball and roller
bearings (SIC code 3562) with 32 forms (21.1%).
Improvements in operating practices were the most
frequently reported source reduction activity (195
forms). Process modifications, which more often
indicate innovative actions to reduce TRI chemicals
in waste at their source, were the second most
frequently reported source reduction activity, cited
on 129 forms. Surface preparation and finishing
ranked third with 91 forms.
Year-to-Year
Comparisons for
Industrial Machinery
1995-1996 TRI Data for Industrial
Machinery
From 1995 to 1996, the number of forms submitted
with industrial machinery SIC codes decreased
4.5%, as shown in Table 13-12. Although the
number of Form A certification statements
submitted was small, Form A submissions
increased 19.4%. (The Form A certification
statement is explained in Chapter 1.) This may
reflect more widespread awareness of the Form A
certification statement in its second year of
availability.
On- and Off-site Releases
On- and off-site releases reported by the industrial
machinery sector decreased 15.8% from 1995 to
1996, as shown in Table 13-12. The sector reported
26.2 million pounds of total releases in 1995 and
22.1 million pounds in 1996. The largest reduction
(in pounds) was reported in air emissions, which
decreased from 22.6 million pounds to 19.0 million
pounds. Approximately one-third of the decrease in
releases to air was reported in fugitive emissions
and two-thirds in point-source emissions. The net
reduction in air emissions was 15.6%. The sector
reported only small amounts of other types of on-
site releases in the two years.
Reported off-site releases (transfers to disposal)
also decreased, from 3.5 million pounds in 1995 to
2.9 million pounds in 1996, a 17.4% reduction.
Figure 13-11 shows the sector's percentage change
in on- and off-site release types for 1995 to 1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
The industrial machinery sector reported a
reduction in other on-site waste management from
69.7 million pounds in 1995 to 59.2 million pounds
in 1996. These data also appear in Table 13-12. The
15.1% reduction in total other on-site waste
management resulted largely from an 18.5%
decrease in on-site recycling, from 60.8 million
pounds to 49.6 million pounds. This reduction
included decreases of approximately 6 million
pounds each by two of the three facilities that
reported large amounts of on-site recycling of
1,1,1-trichlorethane in 1996.
The industrial machinery sector's reported on-site
energy recovery was also reduced, from 188,000
pounds in 1995 to 131,000 pounds in 1996 (a
30.4% reduction). The sector reported an 8.3%
increase in on-site treatment, from 8.7 million
pounds to 9.4 million pounds.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Table 13-12 also presents transfers off-site for
further waste management reported by the
industrial machinery sector in 1995 and 1996. The
sector reported an increase of 3.1%, from 71.8
million pounds to 74.1 million pounds. The sector
reported an increase in transfers to recycling from
63.6 million pounds to 64.0 million pounds.
However, this included reporting errors by two
facilities. One facility, previously mentioned,
reported 2.4 million pounds of transfers to

recycling in error in 1996. Another facility reported
29 pounds of transfers to recycling in 1995, but
should have reported nearly 1.3 million pounds.
When these errors are taken into account, the
sector's reported transfers to recycling show a
reduction from 1995 to 1996 of 3.2 million pounds
(a decrease of 5.0%), and total transfers off-site for
further waste management show a reduction of 1.4
million pounds (a decrease of 1.9%).
The sector reported an increase in transfers to
POTWs from 3.4 million pounds to 4.2 million
pounds The sector reported decreases in transfers to
energy recovery (from 3.1 million pounds to 2.5
million pounds) and in transfers to treatment (from
1.7 million pounds to 1.3 million pounds).
The largest increase in transfers off-site for further
waste management resulted from forms that
reported amounts with invalid codes or no codes to
indicate the type of transfer. These errors rose from
2,000 pounds in 1995 to 2.0 million pounds in
1996. One facility reported 2.0 million pounds of
transfers with invalid codes in 1996, including 1.8
million pounds of dichloromethane. In previous
years, this facility reported most of its off-site
transfers as transfers to recycling.
Changes in SIC Codes
As indicated in facility descriptions below, some
facilities report different SIC codes over time. This
may reflect new or discontinued lines of
production, or it may represent a different
understanding of how SIC code designations relate
483
-------
Chapter 13 — TRI Data for Industrial Machinery
to a facility's business activities. These changes can
contribute—sometimes largely—to apparent
increases or decreases across comparison years in
the amounts reported by the four-digit, or even two-
digit, SIC codes.
1988-1996 TRI Data for Industrial
Machinery
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRI baseline year to the current year rely on
the list of "core" TRI chemicals that were
reportable, with the same reporting definition, in all
years. These multi-year comparisons also review
only the data elements that were collected in all
years, which excludes from this section any
analysis that distinguishes RCRA subtitle C
landfills from other land releases as well as analysis
based on the types of underground injection wells.
On-site waste management data and transfers off-
site to recycling and to energy recovery have been
collected only since 1991; these data are included,
but cannot be compared across the full 1988-1996
period.
Table 13-13 summarizes the sector's TRI data for
1988 to 1996. The number of forms submitted by
the industrial machinery sector showed little net
change from 1988 (2,463 forms) to 1996 (2,456
forms), although more forms were submitted in this
sector in 1994 and 1995.
The industrial machinery sector reported a 72.5%
reduction in total on- and off-site releases from
1988 to 1996, as shown in Table 13-13. The sector
reported 69.7 million pounds of total releases in
1988 and 19.2 million pounds in 1996. Much of
this 50.6 million-pound reduction occurred in
reported air emissions, which totaled 59.1 million
pounds in 1988 and 16.3 million pounds in 1996.
Fugitive and point-source emissions each
accounted for roughly half of this 42.9 million-
pound reduction in releases to air. The industrial
machinery sector reported 10.3 million pounds of
off-site releases (transfers to disposal) in 1988 and
2.7 million pounds in 1996. Percentage reductions
in air emissions and in transfers to disposal were
both approximately 73%. Figure 13-12 illustrates
the sector's percentage change in on- and off-site
releases for 1988 to 1996.
The sector reported only small amounts of surface
water discharges and on-site land releases from
1988 to 1996, both of which also decreased as
shown in Table 13-13. No underground injection
was reported.
On-site waste management and transfers off-site for
recycling or energy recovery were not collected in
1988. For the 1994-1996 period, on-site recycling
decreased from 68.4 million pounds to 47.9 million
pounds (a 20.5 million-pound reduction). This
accounted for most of the overall decrease in other
on-site waste management, from 73.2 million
pounds to 55.4 million pounds (a 17.9 million-
pound reduction). On-site treatment increased from
4.8 million pounds to 7.5 million pounds (an
increase of 2.7 million pounds). The sector reported
very little on-site energy recovery.
For the full comparison period, 1988 to 1996,
transfers to treatment decreased 85.1%, from 8.2
million pounds to 1.2 million pounds, while
transfers to POTWs increased 67.6%, from 1.5
million pounds to 2.6 million pounds.
As noted earlier in this chapter, production of
industrial machinery increased by more than 50%,
while the sector's reporting of releases and waste
management decreased by even larger percentages
from 1988 to 1996. (TRI facilities report absolute
amounts of waste managed and of environmental
releases, not adjusted for changes in production
levels.) One factor has been the United States' ban
on production of ozone-depleting chemicals such as
1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA). As discussed above,
facilities that reported large amounts of recycling of
TCA were already reducing these amounts by 1996
and expected to eliminate them by 1998.

1988-1996 Data for Four-Digit Industries in
Industrial Machinery
Tables 13-14 through 13-16 summarize data for
1988 and 1994-1996 for industries at the four-digit
SIC code level within SIC code 35. The tables
present, respectively, on- and off-site releases,
other on-site waste management, and transfers off-
site for further waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
The refrigeration and heating equipment industry
(SIC code 3585) reported the sector's largest
decrease in releases. This industry reported 16.8
million pounds of releases in 1988 and 2.8 million
pounds in 1996. The miscellaneous internal
combustion engines industry (SIC code 3519)
ranked second, reporting 5.3 million pounds in
1988 and 1.4 million pounds in 1996. In both
industries, air emissions accounted for the majority
of the reduction. The welding apparatus industry
(SIC code 3548) ranked third with a decrease from
3.5 million pounds to 237,000 pounds, but this
reflected a reporting error in 1988 of 2.9 million
pounds by one facility that should have reported in
SIC code 2899 (miscellaneous chemical
preparations).
The farm machinery industry (SIC code 3523)
ranked first for increased releases, reporting 3.0
million pounds in 1988 and 3.7 million pounds in
1996. The fluid power pumps and motors industry
(SIC code 3594) reported the second-largest

increase, from 57,000 pounds to 128,000 pounds.
In both of these industries, reported releases
decreased from 1994 to 1996. Ranking third, the
non-laboratory scales and balances industry (SIC
code 3596) reported 38,000 pounds in 1988 and
98,000 pounds in 1996 (although the 1995 level
was 180,000 pounds). Only one other industry in
this sector showed an increase from 1988 to 1996.
The industrial patterns industry (SIC code 3543)
reported an increase of less than 1,000 pounds from
1988 to 1996. In all four industries, air emissions
were the largest factor in the increase.
Table 13-14 provides release data for all four-digit
SIC codes in the industrial machinery sector, for
1988-1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
The refrigeration and heating equipment industry
(SIC code 3585) also reported the sector's largest
decrease in other on-site waste management, from
51.2 million in 1994 to 33.0 million in 1996 (on-
site waste management data were not collected in
1988). On-site recycling accounted for this
reduction. The printing trades machinery industry
(SIC code 3555) ranked second with a reduction
from 3.2 million pounds to 2.5 million pounds. This
decrease was also attributable to on-site recycling,
although offset in part by increasing on-site
treatment.
Miscellaneous office machines (SIC code 3579)
ranked third for decreases, reporting 1.6 million
pounds in 1994 and 1.0 million pounds in 1996,
reflecting decreases in both on-site recycling and
on-site treatment. However, this industry reported
only 73,000 pounds of other on-site waste
management in 1995. One facility reported in SIC
code 3579 in 1994 and 1996, but reported in SIC
code 3861 (photographic equipment and supplies)
in 1995. This facility reported increasing amounts
of on-site recycling of dichloromethane (from
396,000 pounds in 1994 to 621,000 in 1996) and
methyl ethyl ketone (from zero pounds in 1994 to
230,000 pounds in 1996). On-site recycling that
this facility reported in 1995, however, is not
included in SIC code 3579 because the facility filed
that year in SIC code 3861. The facility's 1995
reports included on-site recycling of 510,000
pounds of dichloromethane and 75,000 pounds of
methyl ethyl ketone.
The miscellaneous special industry machinery
industry (SIC code 3559) reported the largest
increase in on-site waste management in the
industrial machinery sector for 1994 to 1996. This
industry's increase—from 698,000 pounds to 3.1
million pounds—reflects an increase by one facility
from 290,000 pounds of on-site treatment of
ethylene oxide in 1994 to 2.7 million pounds in
1996 when it installed new on-site treatment
equipment (see "Facilities with Large Increases and
Decreases in Waste Management, 1991-1996,"
later in this chapter).
The machine tool accessories industry (SIC code
3545) ranked second for increases with 3.7 million
pounds in 1994 and 4.3 million pounds in 1996.
The carburetors, pistons, rings, and valves industry
(SIC code 3592) ranked third, with an increase
from 195,000 pounds to 710,000 pounds. In both
industries, 1995 levels were lower, and in both
industries, the increase principally involved on-site
recycling.
On-site waste management data for 1994-1996
appear in Table 13-15.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The multiple-codes group in SIC code 35 ranked
first for decreased reporting of transfers off-site for
further waste management in the industrial
machinery sector from 1994 to 1996 (data for some
types of off-site transfers were not collected in
1988). Multiple-codes forms reported 8.0 million
pounds in 1994 and 5.1 million pounds in 1996.
Almost all of the reduction was reported in
transfers to recycling.

4-digtt SIC Code within SIC code 35 are assigned to the "multiple" category. One facility reported incorrectly in SIC code 3861 for total releases in 1995. The
facility should have reported in SIC code 3579. The incorrectly reported amount was 141,121 pounds of total releases. Another facility reported incorrectly in
SK code 3548 for 1988. The facility should have reported in SIC code 2899. The incorrectly reported amounts were 43,810 pounds of total air emissions and
2,902304 pounds of transfers off-site to disposal.

Note: Data from Section 8 of Form R. Forms with more than one 4-digit SIC code within SIC code 35 are assigned to the "multiple" category. One facility
reported incorrectly in SIC code 3861 for 1995. The facility should have reported in SIC code 3579. The incorrectly reported amounts were as follows: 585,400
pounds of recycling on-site, 19,244 pounds of treatment on-site and 604,644 pounds of total other on-site waste management.
*nec: not elsewhere classified.
The miscellaneous office machines industry (SIC
code 3579) ranked second with 3.9 million pounds
of transfers off-site for further waste management
in 1994 and 2.1 million pounds in 1996. This
reduction reflected a larger decrease from 1994 to
1995 in transfers to recycling, partly offset by a
sizable increase from 1995 to 1996 in reporting of
transfers without a valid code (to identify the type
of transfer). As noted earlier in this chapter, one
facility reported 2.0 million pounds of transfers
with invalid codes in 1996, including 1.8 million
pounds of dichloromethane. In previous years, this
facility reported transferring dichloromethane to
recycling. This is the same facility that reported in
SIC code 3579 in 1994 and 1996, but reported in
SIC code 3861 in 1995, which also accounts for the
miscellaneous office machines industry's decreased
total for transfers off-site for further waste
management in 1995.
The third-ranked industry for decreases—special
dies, tools, jigs, and fixtures (SIC code 3544)—
reported a decrease from 2.4 million pounds to 1.2
million pounds (although the 1995 level was much
higher—4.2 million pounds). This reduction was
entirely attributable to transfers to recycling.
Although the refrigeration and heating equipment
industry (SIC code 3585) recorded the largest
decreases in on- and off-site releases and other on-
site waste management, discussed above, this
industry ranked first for increases in transfers off-
site for further waste management in the industrial
machinery sector. The refrigeration and heating
equipment industry reported 10.3 million pounds of
transfers off-site for further waste management in
1994 and 12.5 million pounds in 1996. This
increase was attributable to transfers to recycling.
The miscellaneous internal combustion engines
industry (SIC code 3519) ranked second in the
sector for increases, reporting 3.6 million pounds in
497
-------
Chapter 13 — TRI Data for Industrial Machinery
1994 and 5.6 million pounds in 1996. However,
these amounts reflected one facility's reporting
errors for transfers to recycling of 1.5 million
pounds in 1994 and 2.4 million pounds in 1996
(both amounts should have been zero). Taking into
account this error, miscellaneous internal
combustion engines ranked third, and the
miscellaneous special industry machinery industry
(SIC code 3559) ranked second, reporting 1.3
million pounds hi 1994 and 2.4 million pounds in
1996. In this industry, the 1995 level was
considerably higher (5.0 million pounds). The
1994-1996 increase was attributable to transfers to
recycling.
Table 13-16 presents data on transfers off-site for
further waste management for four-digit SIC codes
in SIC code 35.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
In Releases, 1988-1996
New Holland N.A., Inc., in Grand Island, Nebraska
(SIC code 3523), was first in increases with
309,000 pounds. Xylene (mixed isomers)—a paint
constituent—was responsible for 100% of the
increase. A production increase was cited as the
reason for the overall reporting increase by this
manufacturer of farming machinery (combines,
haying equipment, wagons, etc.).
John Deere Ottumwa Works in Ottumwa, Iowa
(SIC codes 3523 and 3524 in 1988 and 3523 in
1996), ranked second in increases with 289,000
pounds. No data were reported for the chemical,
sec-butyl alcohol, in 1988. Total releases for sec-
butyl alcohol in 1996 were 238,000 pounds. This
accounted for 82% of the increase. No reason was
given for the increase. The facility contact stated
that John Deere Ottumwa Works does not discuss
TRI reporting.
Kobelco America, Lie., in Calhoun, Georgia (did
not report in 1988, SIC code 3531 hi 1996), was
third in increases with 167,000 pounds. Because
there were no data in 1988, the 1996 data equal the
overall increase. Point-source air emissions of
methyl ethyl ketone constituted 91% of the
facility's total releases in the latter year. A
manufacturer of hydraulic excavation machinery,
the plant uses the chemical, methyl ethyl ketone
(MEK), to flush out paint lines. Reported point-
source air emissions of MEK totaled 152,000
pounds (91% of the overall releases for the year).
The facility began operation in July 1989.
Heatcraft, Inc., in Grenada, Mississippi (SIC code
3585 in 1988 and codes 3585, 3351, and 3366 in
1996), was the top decreaser with an overall 1.9
million-pound reduction. Heatcraft manufactures
heat transfer coils, A-coils, copper tubing, and
replacement and steam coils. Reduction of
trichloroethylene air emissions accounted for 93%
of the decrease. A lubricant is required in the
manufacture of the coil assemblies. Traditionally,
petroleum-based lubricants were used but had to be
removed by solvent degreasing systems prior to
paint application. Heatcraft developed a
proprietary, non-petroleum-based lubricant that
does not require removal from coil assemblies prior
to painting. Consequently, the facility greatly
reduced the need for solvent degreasing.
Beloit Corporation in Beloit, Wisconsin (SIC code
3554), ranked second in decreases with a 1.0
million-pound reduction. Beloit Corporation
manufactures papermaking machinery. Principal
operations at the facility in Beloit have changed
from manufacturing to service and maintenance.
The facility continues to manufacture machinery,
but on a very small scale, according to the facility
contact. The change in operations was given as the
main reason for the decrease in reported releases
between 1988 and 1996. Chromium, a constituent
of stainless steel used in machinery production,
accounted for 60% of the decrease. Scrap stainless
steel was sent to an off-site landfill. In 1988,
606,000 pounds of chromium releases were
reported. The facility reported no releases of
chromium in 1996.

Note: Transfers Off-site for Further Waste Management from Section 6 (excluding transfers off-site to disposal) of Form R. Other Off-site Transfers are
transfers reported without a valid waste management code. Forms with more than one 4-digit SIC code within SIC code 35 are assigned to the "multiple"
category. One facility incorrectly reported 1,500,000 pounds for 1994 and 2,400,000 pounds for 1996 of transfers to recycling under SIC code 3519. The correct
amounts are 0 pounds. One facility reported incorrectly in SIC code 3861 for 1995. The facility should have reported in SIC code 3579. The incorrectly reported
amounts were as follows: 1,369,940 pounds of transfers to recycling, 51,692 pounds of transfers to energy recovery, 10,243 pounds of transfers to treatment, 55
pounds of transfers to POTWs and 1,431,930 pounds of transfers off-site for further waste management Another facility incorrectly reported 29 pounds of
transfers to recycling in 1995 under multiple codes within SIC code 35. The correct amount is 1,272,858 pounds.

Chapter 13 — TRI Data for Industrial Machinery
Brunswick Corporation in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin
(SIC code 3519), was the third largest decreaser
with an 838,000 pound reduction. Elimination of
1,1,1-trichloroethane, used in degreasing and
cleaning operations and to soften rubber hoses for
applications, accounted for 24% of the total
decrease. The facility switched to aqueous cleaning
and degreasing systems and substituted warm water
for the chemical for softening hoses.
Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which have
been identified as reporting errors or plant closures.
Because these are errors or plant closures and not
actual changes in the data, these facilities are not
discussed in detail here. There are four such
facilities in the industrial machinery sector:
Caterpillar Inc. Mossville Eng., Mossville,
Illinois, increase of 418,000 pounds, reporting
error.
Lennox Industries, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas,
decrease of 889,000 pounds, plant closure.
Lincoln Electric Company, Euclid, Ohio,
decrease of 3.4 million pounds, reported
incorrect SIC code.
Mobile Pulley & Machine Works, Mobile,
Alabama, increase of 256,000 pounds, reported
incorrect SIC code.
1991-1996 Waste Management Data
for Industrial Machinery
Table 13-17 summarizes on- and off-site waste
management data for the industrial machinery
sector for 1991, when TRI began collecting this
information, and the three most recent years (1994-
1996). Total production-related waste reported by
the industrial machinery sector decreased by more
than one-fourth (27.7%) from 1991 to 1996. The
sector reported a total of 220.7 million pounds of
production-related waste in 1991 and 159.6 million
pounds in 1996.
The sector's largest reduction, in pounds and
percent, occurred in reporting of on-site recycling,
which decreased 60.9% from 122.4 million pounds
in 1991 to 47.9 million pounds in 1996. The
second-largest reduction was reported in quantities
released, which decreased 55.5% from 43.3 million
pounds to 19.3 million pounds. Off-site energy
recovery decreased from 3.3 million pounds to 2.6
million pounds, a 19.5% reduction.
At the same time, off-site recycling increased
79.6% from 43.9 million pounds to 78.8 million
pounds. Reporting errors in 1994,1995, and 1996,
described earlier in this chapter, have little effect on
this overall increase. The sector also reported an
increase of 71.1% in on-site treatment, from 4.4
million pounds to 7.5 million pounds. A small
increase was reported in off-site treatment, along
with a small decrease in on-site energy recovery.
Figure 13-13 illustrates the percentage changes in
amounts reported for these waste management
methods from 1991 to 1996.
The industrial machinery sector's reporting
indicates some improvement from 1991 to 1996 in
how the sector manages its waste, as measured by
the waste management hierarchy (explained in
Chapter 1). The sector reported releasing a smaller
portion of its total production-related waste in 1996
(12.1%) than in 1991 (19.6%). Releases are the
least desirable waste management option.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Waste Management. 1991-1996
Carrier Corporation in Indianapolis, Indiana (SIC
code 3585), ranked first for increases in waste
managed with 12.9 million pounds. Nickel
compounds, a constituent of the steel used to
manufacture fan coils and natural gas furnaces,

Industrial Machinery (SIC Code 35)
Note: Docs not include delisted chemicals, chemicals added in 1994 and 1995, ammonia, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid. Data from Section 8 of Form R
(Current Yew, Column B) of year indicated.
accounted for 94% of the increase. All of the 1996
data for nickel compounds was reported as recycled
off-site (the facility recycles metal offal). The
facility cited a production increase as the reason for
the change.
Thermo King Corporation in Bloomington,
Minnesota (SIC code 3585), was second in
increases with 4.0 million pounds. A manufacturer
of components for transport refrigeration units, the
Thermo King plant used 1,1,1-trichloroethane in a
degreasing operation. The chemical was recycled
through distillation and then reused. The facility
contact attributed the increase only to increased
hours of operation of an integral distillation unit.
The contact also stated that aqueous cleaning
operations replaced solvent degreasing at the end of
1997.
Sterilization Services of Virginia in Richmond,
Virginia (SIC code 3559), was third in increases
with 2.8 million pounds. An increase in reported
on-site treatment of ethylene oxide, used as a
sterilant for medical devices, accounted for 93% of
the change. The facility contact cited the
installation of scrubbers as the reason for the
increase in on-site treatment.
Amana Refrigeration, Inc., in Fayetteville,
Tennessee (SIC code 3585), ranked first in
decreases of waste managed with 34.8 million
pounds. The heating and air conditioning
equipment manufacturing plant eliminated a
506

degreasing process that used tricholorethylene as a
degreasing agent. Elimination of the process
resulted in a reported 34.6 million-pound decrease
between 1991 and 1996 (99% of the overall
decrease). The reduction was achieved by replacing
lubricants (used in the manufacture of heat
exchanger coils) requiring solvent degreasing with
an evaporative lubricant that does not require
physical removal.
Thermo King de Puerto Rico in Arecibo, Puerto
Rico (SIC code 3585), was second in decreases
with 7.7 million pounds. The facility manufactures
transport refrigeration units. Almost all of the
facility's decrease is accounted for by a reduction in
the amount 1,1,1-trichloroethane reported as
recycled on-site. The chemical was used in a
solvent degreasing system. The facility contact
stated that much of the reduction was attributable to
increased efficiency of the degreasing operation.
Subsequently, in March 1998, the solvent
degreasing system was replaced by an aqueous
cleaning system.
Modine Manufacturing Company in Lawrenceburg,
Tennessee (SIC code 3585), ranked third in
decreases of waste managed with an overall 6.9
million-pound reduction. The chemical, 1,1,1-
trichloroethane, accounted for 82% of the facility's
overall decrease. The change is the result of
substituting another chemical for 1,1,1-
trichloroethane, according to the facility contact.
Aluminum donut oil coolers and charge air coolers
for trucks are manufactured at the facility.

A Look at the
Transportation Equipment
Industry (SIC Code 37)
The transportation equipment industry (SIC code
37) manufactures equipment to transport
passengers and cargo by land, air, and water. Its
best known product is the automobile. Automobile
manufacture (including parts) dominates this
sector; the largest industries are the production of
motor vehicles and car bodies (SIC code 3711) and
motor vehicle parts and accessories (SIC code
3714). Facilities that manufacture both motor
vehicles and parts are also classified in SIC code
3711. Other forms of transportation equipment
manufacturing range from aircraft to bicycles to
space vehicles. Box 14-1 lists the Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and their
designations for the various transportation
equipment categories. In TRI, SIC codes are given
as reported by the facilities; these may differ from
information in economic and other data collections.
Makers of transportation equipment shipped
$465.17 billion (in current dollars) in products in
1996 and employed 1.47 million. Approximately
one out of every 12 U.S. manufacturing employees
in 1996 worked in this sector. The value of
transportation equipment shipments was up slightly
from $461.80 billion (in current dollars) in 1995,
while employment was 1.52 million. Production in
this sector dropped in 1990 and 1991 but generally
increased thereafter. By 1996, production in the
transportation equipment sector showed a net
increase of just 1.0% since 1989, well behind the
average growth (17.6%) for all manufacturing
sectors during this period (see Chapter 1, Table
1-10). Employment in transportation equipment
steadily decreased through those years.
Motor Vehicles and Equipment
Motor vehicles and equipment (SIC code 371 at the
three-digit SIC code level) accounted for 70.8% of
the sector's 1996 value of shipments, $329.15
billion (in current dollars). This consisted of nearly
two-thirds ($200.70 billion) from motor vehicles
and car bodies (SIC code 3711), one-third ($110.99
billion) from motor vehicle parts and accessories
(SIC code 3714), and small amounts from other
industries such as the manufacture of truck and bus
bodies (SIC code 3713). Motor vehicles and
equipment also provided more than half the sector's
employment, 772,000 employees. Within this, parts
and accessories accounted for the larger portion,
employing 460,000, while production of motor

vehicles and car bodies employed about half that
number (225,000). Accounting for nearly
three-quarters of the sector's value of shipments
and more than half of the sector's employment,
these two industry sectors accounted for much of
the sector's TRI reporting.
Motor vehicle producers are consolidating and
simplifying production. The Big Three U.S. auto
producers—General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler—
are involved in controlling, owning, or merging
with foreign automotive companies, while also
engaging in alliances to produce foreign
automobiles in the United States. In addition,
foreign auto manufacturers from abroad have
located independent plants in the U.S. states over
the last 15 years. Automotive parts suppliers are
similarly undergoing consolidation into fewer,
larger companies. At the same time, basic
automotive structures (a vehicle's "platform") are
being simplified to reduce cost by reducing parts
and enabling the interchange of parts.
Motor vehicle parts production (SIC code 3714)
includes the manufacture of a number of
fundamental automotive parts, including non-diesel
engines, brakes, wiring harnesses, drive shafts,
differentials, exhaust systems, steering
mechanisms, and others. Many vehicle parts,
however, are classified outside of the transportation
equipment sector. Tires are a rubber product (SIC
code 30); automobile glass is classified with other
glass in SIC code 32; automobile stampings are
fabricated metals (SIC code 34); lighting systems
are electrical equipment (SIC code 36); carburetors,
pistons, piston rings, and engine intake and exhaust
valves are classified in industrial machinery (SIC
code 35). Automotive seats are considered furniture
(SIC code 25).
Approximately 80% of the parts and accessories
industry has provided vehicle manufacturers
original automotive equipment. The remaining 20%
supplied replacement parts for the aftermarket. In
recent years, however, the improved quality and
durability of original equipment have kept the
replacement parts market constant.
Steel remains the largest material used (by weight)
in vehicle production, followed by iron, plastics
and composites, fluids and lubricants, aluminum,
and rubber. Although production processes vary
widely, as evidenced by the variety of materials,
most include casting, forging, molding, extrusion,
stamping, and welding. Metal parts may be cleaned,
coated, painted, etched, or electroplated. Major
structural pieces are welded together, including the
underbody, side assemblies, roof supports, and
roof. Assembled vehicles must then be welded in as
many as 4,000 places. Finishing operations include
anti-corrosion processes, priming, joint sealing, and
color- and clear-coat applications. Finally, all
components are assembled, hard trim, soft trim, gas
tank, exhaust system, bumpers, engine, and tires.

Materials in most of these processes—from binders
used in sand-casting iron components to adhesives
used in attaching trim—may contribute to releases
or other waste management of toxic chemicals.
Many processes involve solvents, in addition to
wide-ranging uses of metals. During automotive
assembly, the most significant chemical releases
and wastes occur during vehicle painting and
finishing. Air emissions result from both the
paint/finish applications and cleaning operations,
and consist primarily of organic solvents. In
addition to their use as a cleaning agent, solvents
such as xylenes are components of many finishes
and coatings.
Aerospace and Shipbuilding
Aircraft (SIC code 372) represented the second-
largest economic activity in the transportation
equipment sector, with 1996 shipments valued at
$83.39 billion (in current dollars) and 377,000
employees. Guided missiles and space vehicles
(SIC code 376) was third with $17.93 billion in
shipments. Employment in the guided missiles and
space vehicles category was comparatively small at
81,000. These two SIC codes (372 and 376) make
up the aerospace industry. Ship and boat building
and repair (SIC code 373) was fourth in economic
activity in the sector, with shipments of $15.63
billion and employment of 141,000. Although TRI
reporting is dominated by vehicle manufacturing,
the production of aircraft, ships, boats, and their
parts also contributed to releases and waste
management reported to TRI in this sector in 1996.

1996 TRI Data for
Transportation Equipment
Table 14-1 summarizes TRI reporting by the
transportation equipment sector for 1996. More
than 4,300 forms were submitted in this industry
for 1996. Of these, 214, or 4.9%, were Form A
certification statements, certifying that a facility's
total annual reportable amount of a TRI chemical
was less than 500 pounds for the year and that the
facility did not manufacture, process, or otherwise
use more than 1 million pounds. This is less than
half the percentage of Form As (10.1 %) submitted
in all industries. (The Form A certification
statement is explained in Chapter 1.)
As shown in Table 14-1, the two motor vehicle
industries also reported the largest amounts of
releases and waste management, ranking first or
second in the summary categories and accounted
for more than half the reporting in the transporta-
tion equipment SIC code. Producers of motor
vehicles and car bodies (SIC code 3711) reported
42.1 million pounds of on-and off-site releases,
37.8% of the sector's total. On-site releases were
40.6 million pounds for motor vehicles and car
bodies, 39.2% of the sector's total.

-------
Chapter 14 — TRI Data for Transportation Equipment
Producers of motor vehicle parts and accessories
(SIC code 3714) reported the largest amounts in
other categories, as shown in Table 14-1. Off-site
releases reported by motor vehicle parts
manufacturing equaled 4.3 million pounds,
representing 56.3% of the sector's total off-site
releases. This industry reported 16.8 million pounds
in other on-site waste management, which was
35.4% of the sector's total. Reporting in SIC code
3714 totaled 103.7 million pounds in transfers off-
site for waste management (53.7% of the total) and
145.5 million pounds in production-related waste
(41.0%).
Boat building and repairing (SIC code 3732)
ranked third for total releases with 11.3 million
pounds. (The larger amount of releases in the
multiple-codes category reflects a facility reporting
error). Aircraft engines and engine parts (SIC code
3724) ranked third for other on-site waste
management (5.3 million pounds) and third for
transfers off-site for further waste management
(12.0 million pounds). For total production-related
waste, forms submitted with more than one four-
digit SIC code ranked third. This reporting of
multiple SIC codes, explained below, accounted for
18.7 million pounds of production-related waste.
Multiple SIC Codes in SIC Code 37
Some facilities in the transportation equipment
sector manufacture products in similar but distinct
categories, as designated in the Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) system. One common
combination is manufacturing both automobiles
(SIC code 3711) and motor vehicle parts (SIC code
3714). To describe their operations, some of these
facilities may report both SIC codes on their TRI
forms (others may report only SIC code 3711,
which covers both automobiles and parts when they
are manufactured by the same facility). Facilities in
other segments of the transportation equipment
sector may also produce multiple items—for
example, miscellaneous parts for aircraft (SIC code
3728) and miscellaneous parts for guided missiles
or space vehicles (SIC code 3769). These facilities
also may report multiple SIC codes on their TRI
forms. (Box 1-5 in Chapter 1 further explains
reporting of multiple SIC codes and its affect on the
analyses presented in the TRI data release.)
There were 252 forms that reported more than one
four-digit SIC code within SIC code 37 in 1996.
Table 14-2 examines reporting by this
multiple-codes group. The most frequent pairing,
reported on 61 forms, combined manufacturing
activities of the two biggest industries: motor
vehicles and passenger car bodies (SIC code 3711)
and motor vehicle parts and accessories (SIC code
3714). This combination reported 2.7 million
pounds of total on- and off-site releases and 7.6
million pounds of total production-related waste in
1996. These amounts represented the largest total
releases and the largest total production-related
waste reported by multiple-codes groups in SIC
code 37. (One facility reporting SIC codes 373 i
and 3743 reported 6.2 million pounds of air -
emissions in error.)
On- and Off-site Releases
Air emissions constituted the overwhelming
majority of on- and off-site releases in 1996 by
the transportation equipment sector: 102.7 million
pounds (including a facility reporting error of 6.2
million pounds). On-site land releases totaled
705,000 pounds, mostly in land disposal other
than RCRA subtitle C landfills. Surface water
discharges were 224,000 pounds. No underground
injection was reported. Off-site releases totaled 7.7
million pounds, the next-largest release type after

treatment, 29.5 million pounds or nearly two-thirds
(62.1%) of the total other on-site waste
management. Recycling was 16.5 million pounds;
relatively little energy recovery (1.5 million
pounds) was reported on-site.
The motor vehicles and car bodies industry (SIC
code 3711) reported 14.0 million pounds, or 47.4%
of all on-site treatment in this sector. For on-site
recycling, the motor vehicle parts industry (SIC

Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Table 14-5 presents transfers off-site for further
waste management for industries in the
transportation equipment sector. Transfers to
recycling were 165.0 million pounds, or 85.4% of
all such transfers in this sector. Motor vehicle parts
manufacturers (SIC code 3714) reported 95.5
million pounds, or 57.9%, of transfers to recycling,
and producers of motor vehicles and car bodies
(SIC code 3711) reported 36.8 million pounds, or

1996 TRI Data by State for
Transportation Equipment
States prominent in motor vehicle manufacturing
led TRI reporting in this sector, as would be
expected. Michigan produces more than 3 million
vehicles per year, and Ohio, Missouri, and
Kentucky each produce more than 1 million
annually. Detroit hosts 19 assembly plants for cars
or light trucks, all owned by one of the Big Three
automakers (General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler).
Missouri also produces vehicles for the Big Three
(mostly light trucks), but 33% of Ohio's vehicle
output is for Honda, and 40% of Kentucky's is for
Toyota. Other states manufacturing from 500,000
to 1 million vehicles per year are Alabama, Illinois,
New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
To reduce shipping costs, automakers and their
suppliers in the parts and accessories industry have
traditionally located close to one another.
Shipbuilding, as would be expected, occurs largely
in coastal states, including Washington, California,
several Gulf Coast states, and Virginia. Centers of
aircraft production include Kansas (small aircraft)
and Washington state.

These three states also led for total on- and off-site
releases. Michigan reported 15.6 million pounds,
Indiana 10.0 million pounds, and Ohio 9.5 million

Chapter 14 — TRI Data for Transportation Equipment
Ohio reported the largest total production-related
waste (61.5 million pounds), followed by Michigan
(51.5 million pounds) and Indiana (41.1 million
pounds). All other states and territories had less
than 20 million pounds each in this category.
Map 14-1 illustrates the geographic distribution of
total on- and off-site releases in the transportation
equipment sector.
1996TRIDftaby
Chemical for
Transportation Equipment
As shown in Table 14-7, the top 15 chemicals
reported in the transportation equipment sector
amounted to 97.1 million pounds of on- and off-site
releases, or 87.2% of the sector's total of 111.4
million pounds. The bulk of this reporting occurred
in air emissions, which totaled 94.0 million pounds,
or 96.8% of total on- and off-site releases, for the
15 chemicals. (Excluding a reporting error of 6.2
million pounds of air emissions of manganese
would not substantially alter this analysis.) Only for
the 15th-ranked chemical, asbestos, was the
majority of releases to another category, which was
to off-site releases (transfers to disposal). All of the
off-site releases of asbestos were reported by the
motor vehicle parts and accessories industry (SIC
code 3714); asbestos is used in clutch and brake
linings.
The chemical reported in the largest amount was
xylenes, with 25.5 million pounds of on- and off-
site releases. The second-largest was styrene, with
13.4 million pounds, followed by glycol ethers,
with 9.0 million pounds. The largest industrial
source of xylenes was the motor vehicle and car
bodies industry, which reported 16.2 million
pounds of air emissions of this chemical, largely as
point source emissions. This amounted to
two-thirds (63.3%) of the sector's total releases of
that chemical. Xylenes and other solvents such as
toluene and methyl ethyl ketone are used in
cleaning and finishing operations, especially
coating and painting, in vehicle production.
Boat building and repair (SIC code 3732) reported
the largest styrene releases. The 9.2 million pounds
of styrene air emissions reported in boat building.
and repair were 68.6% of all styrene releases. A
principal use of styrene in this industry is in the
manufacture and repair of fiberglass ships and
boats (primarily in small and medium-sized
shipyards). Some fiberglass construction processes
involve use of gelcoat, a polyester resin that
contains approximately 35% styrene.
OSHA Carcinogens
Table 14-8 shows the on- and off-site releases of
chemicals designated as OSHA carcinogens for the
four-digit industries in the transportation equipment
sector. (OSHA carcinogens and the bases for their
designation appear in Box 1-9 in Chapter 1.) The
industry with the largest releases of these chemicals
was boat building and repairing (SIC code 3732).
This industry's total was 10.2 million pounds of
OSHA carcinogens, almost all of it released to air.
The motor vehicle parts and accessories industry
(SIC code 3714) was second with 4.4 million
pounds; this included 2.5 million pounds emitted to
air and 1.7 million pounds transferred off-site to
disposal.
Four of the top 15 chemicals for total releases in
this sector were OSHA carcinogens: styrene,
trichloroethylene, dichloromethane, and asbestos
(see Table 14-7). As noted, the great majority of
releases of these chemicals were reported as air
emissions, except for asbestos, which was largely
released off-site (transferred to disposal). These
four chemicals represented 91.0% of the sector's
releases of OSHA carcinogens. The OSHA
carcinogen with the next-highest releases in this
sector was tetrachloroethylene, with 763,000
pounds.

Figure 14-7 shows the on- and off-site releases of
the four-digit SIC codes with the largest OSHA
carcinogen releases.
1996 TRl Chemicals in
Waste for Transportation
Equipment
Table 14-9 presents waste management data for the
four-digit SIC codes in the transportation
equipment sector. Nearly half (48.4%) of the
production-related waste was recycled off-site,
171.8 million pounds of the 355.2-million-pound
total. The next largest waste management activity
was on- and off-site releases. On- and off-site
releases totaled 105.7 million pounds, or 19.8% of
the total waste managed. Other types of waste
management (recycling, energy recovery, and
treatment on-site, along with energy recovery and
treatment off-site) were all less than 30 million
pounds each. Figure 14-8 illustrates the distribution
of on- and off-site waste management and
quantities released for this sector.
Off-site recycling was reported in the largest
amounts by makers of motor vehicle parts and
accessories (SIC code 3714), with 98.7 million
pounds, and motor vehicles and car bodies (SIC
code 3711), with 41.6 million pounds. Off-site
recycling by these two industries amounted to
39.5% of all production-related waste reported in
the sector.
Distribution of production-related waste for the top
four-digit SIC codes appears in Figure 14-9.

Projected Quantities of TRl
Chemicals in Waste
Facilities reporting in the transportation equipment
sector projected relatively little change in their
waste management through 1998, as shown in
Table 14-10. (As explained in Chapter 1, facilities
not only report current data but project waste
management quantities for the next two years in
their TRl submissions.) Total production-related
waste is projected to decrease by just 0.7% (2.6
million pounds) over the 1996-1998 period. The
largest component of this reduction is a projected
decrease in quantities released on- and off-site of
4.7 million pounds, a 4.4% reduction. A decrease is
also projected in off-site energy recovery, of 1.8
million pounds, or 11.9%.

Note: Data from Section 8 of Form R. Forms with more than one 4-digit SIC code within SIC code 37 are assigned to the "multiple" category.
Off-site recycling, the largest waste management
option in this sector, was projected to increase 1.5%
(2.6 million pounds) from 1996 to 1998, the net
result of a projected decrease in the first year and
increase in the second year. Other waste
management options show smaller projected
increases (in pounds) for the period.
The projected changes suggest little difference in
the ways facilities in this sector expect to manage
their TRI chemicals in waste. Off-site recycling
would represent a slightly larger portion of overall
waste management (increasing from 48.4% of
production-related waste in 1996 to 49.5% in
1998). At the same time, releases would decrease
from 29.8% of production-related waste, to 28.6%.
These changes, while small in both percentage and
absolute terms, nonetheless represent small positive
movement, as measured by the environmental
waste management hierarchy, explained in Chapter
1. In that hierarchy, recycling represents the most
favorable waste management option for waste that
cannot be or is not prevented in the first place, and
releases represent the least favorable option.
Figure 14-10 shows the percentage change
projected in quantities of TRI chemicals in waste
for 1996-1998.
Source Reduction Activity
One form out of every five submitted in the
transportation equipment sector reported
undertaking one or more source reduction activities
during 1996, as shown in Table 14-11. The largest
number of forms (295) came from the motor
vehicle parts and accessories industry (SIC code

motor vehicles and car bodies industry (SIC code
3711). These numbers represent one-fifth of all
forms from motor vehicle parts manufacturing and
less than one-seventh of all forms in motor vehicle
production. Because these two industries also

reported the largest releases and the largest
production-related waste, their activities to reduce
toxic chemicals at the source could have important
results for the sector's performance. For both
groups, good operating practices was the source
reduction activity most frequently cited. Raw
material and process modifications, which are more
likely to represent innovative source reduction
projects, were the activities cited on the next largest
number of forms in both industries.

4.6% (approximately 200 fewer forms in 1996). As
shown in Table 14-12, the number of Form A
certification statements increased markedly: 37.2%
(an increase of 58 forms). This may reflect more
widespread awareness of the Form A certification
statement in its second year of availability. (The
Form A certification statement is explained in
Chapter 1.)
On- and Off-site Releases
Total on- and off-site releases, also shown in
Table 14-12, decreased from 121.2 million pounds
in 1995 to 111.4 million pounds in 1996, a decrease
of 8.1%. The change in releases to the
environmental media varied considerably. Air
emissions, by far the largest release type in this
sector, decreased 6.9% (or 7.6 million pounds).
This represented a decrease in point source
emissions of 9.0 million pounds (10.7% reduction),
partly offset by a 1.3 million-pound increase in
fugitive emissions (5.0% increase). This analysis
includes a facility reporting error of 6.2 million
pounds of air emissions in 1996. Without this error,
percentage reductions would be larger.
As noted earlier in this chapter, transportation
equipment manufacturers reported much smaller
amounts in the other release types. However, small
changes in absolute terms resulted in significant
changes in percentage terms: a 71.6% increase in
on-site land releases and a 23.4% decrease in off-
site releases (transfers to disposal).
Figure 14-11 shows the percentage changes by
release type for the transportation equipment sector.

Other On-site Waste Management
Table 14-12 also shows the changes from 1995 to
1996 in this sector's on-site waste management.
The overall decrease of 42.2% was accomplished
primarily in on-site recycling. In 1995, recycling
was the largest on-site waste management option,
with 48.4 million pounds. A reduction of two thirds
(65.9%, or 31.9 million pounds), to 16.5 million
pounds in 1996, made on-site recycling the
second-largest type of on-site management, behind
treatment. (More than half of this reduction was the
action of one facility, Preferred Technical Group,
Inc., in Columbia City, Indiana, which eliminated a
vapor degreaser in the plant, substituting an
aqueous process. This facility reported 18.3 million
pounds of on-site recycling of trichloroethylene in
1995 and none in 1996.)
On-site treatment also decreased, by 6.2%, or 1.9
million pounds. Energy recovery, much smaller in
absolute amounts, dropped by more than one third
(35.7%), or 809,000 pounds.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
All but one type of transfers off-site for further
waste management decreased from 1995 to 1996
for the transportation equipment sector. As shown
in Table 14-12, the exception was an increase of
12.4% (616,000 pounds) in transfers to POTWs.
The largest transfer type—to recycling—showed
very little change, a decrease of 0.4%. This was a
reduction of 688,000 pounds, from 165.7 million
pounds in 1995 to 165.0 million pounds in 1996.
Reductions in energy recovery and treatment were
notably larger in both pounds and percentage.
Reporting of energy recovery decreased 10.2%, or
1.6 million pounds. Treatment decreased 22.0%, or
2.4 million pounds.

Changes in SIC Codes
As indicated in facility descriptions below, some
facilities report different SIC codes over time. This
may reflect new or discontinued lines of
production, or it may represent a different
understanding of how SIC code designations relate
to a facility's business activities. These changes can
contribute—sometimes largely—to apparent
increases or decreases across comparison years in
the amounts reported by the four-digit, or even
two-digit, SIC codes.
1988-1996 TRI Data for
Transportation Equipment
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRI baseline year to the current year rely on
the list of "core" TRI chemicals that were
reportable, with the same reporting definition, in all
years. These multi-year comparisons also review
only the data elements that were collected in all
years, which excludes from this section any
analysis that distinguishes RCRA subtitle C
landfills from other land releases as well as analysis
based on the types of underground injection wells.
On-site waste management data and transfers off-
site to recycling and to energy recovery have been
collected only since 1991; these data are included,
but cannot be compared across the full 1988-1996
period.
On- and off-site releases of the "core" chemicals in
the transportation equipment sector declined by half
(49.5%) from 1988 to 1996, as shown in Table
14-13. This was a reduction of 103.2 million
pounds. The largest component of this reduction
was air emissions, also the largest release type for
the sector. Point source emissions dropped by
42.6%, or 53.0 million pounds. Another 34.5
million pounds of the decrease was reported in
fugitive emissions, a 56.0% decrease. Altogether,

releases to air decreased 47.1%, or 87.5 million
pounds. This analysis includes a facility reporting
error of 6.2 million pounds of air emissions in
1996. Without this error, percentage reductions
would be larger.
Other on-site release types also decreased, as
shown in Table 14-13. On-site land releases
decreased 1.7 million pounds, or 71.7%. Surface
water discharges decreased 224,000 pounds, or
82.2%. Underground injection was reported in 1988
(76,000 pounds), but not in 1996. Off-site releases
(transfers to disposal) decreased by more than two-
thirds (69.2%), a reduction of 13.7 million pounds.
Figure 14-12 displays the percentage of percentage
change in on- and off-site releases by medium.
On-site waste management and transfers off-site for
recycling or energy recovery were not collected in
1988. For the 1994-1996 period, on-site waste
management in this sector decreased 38.3 million
pounds. The great majority of this reduction (37.4
million pounds) was reported in on-site recycling.
Other categories also showed decreases, except for
transfers off-site to recycling. This category
showed little change since 1994 (a net increase of
357,000 pounds). '
For the two transfer categories reported across the
full 1988-1996 comparison period, reductions
amounted to 81.1% (19.6 million pounds) in
treatment and 31.8% (1.3 million pounds) in
transfers to POTWs.

Chapter 14 — TRI Data for Transportation Equipment
Although the sector experienced little net expansion
in production during this period, some new
facilities opened and others expanded production as
a result of joint ventures between U.S. and
foreign-owned companies. Decreases in releases
continued in the more recent years, even as the
sector recovered its earlier production levels, as
noted earlier in this chapter.
1988-1996 Data for Four-Digit Industries in
Transportation Equipment
Tables 14-14 through 14-16 summarize data for
1988 and 1994-1996 for industries at the four-digit
SIC code level within SIC code 37. The tables
present, respectively, on- and off-site releases,
other on-site waste management, and transfers off-
site for further waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
Two industries reported decreases in on- and off-
site releases of 22 million pounds from 1988 to
1996, the largest such decreases. These were the
two industries with the largest releases: motor
vehicle parts and accessories (SIC code 3714), with
a 22.4 million-pound reduction, and motor vehicles
and car bodies (SIC code 3711), with a decrease of
22.1 million pounds. One other industry had a
decrease of more than 10 million pounds: aircraft
production (SIC code 3721), with 17.3 million
pounds less in releases in 1996 than in 1988.
Producers of motor vehicle parts and accessories
reported their largest reductions in air emissions, a
decrease of 14.4 million pounds across the
comparison period. Another 6.5 million-pound
decrease was reported in off-site releases (transfers
to disposal) and 1.3 million pounds in on-site land
releases. Almost all of the reduction for makers of
motor vehicles and car bodies was in air emissions
(20.6 million pounds), along with 1.5 million
pounds in off-site releases. In the aircraft industry,
air emissions were also the largest area of reduction
(13.7 million pounds), and off-site releases were
reduced by 3.5 million.
A few industries reported increases in total on- and
off-site releases over the period. The largest
occurred in manufacture of travel trailers and
campers (653,000 pound increase, SIC code 3792).
This increase occurred before 1994; since that time,
releases have been declining for this industry.
Table 14-14 provides release data for all four-digit
SIC codes in the transportation equipment sector,
for 1988-1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
One of the dominant industries in the transportation
equipment sector also reported large decreases in
other on-site waste management since 1994 (on-site
waste management data were not collected in
1988). The decrease for motor vehicle parts and
accessories was 36.5 million pounds; the bulk of
this reduction (34.8 million pounds) was in on-site
recycling and much of it occurred from 1995 to
1996.
The next largest decrease occurred in reporting for
miscellaneous aircraft parts and equipment (SIC
code 3728). This was a net difference of 4.1 million
pounds for 1994-1996. The largest component was
a reduction in on-site recycling. For this industry,
both on-site recycling and on-site waste
management as a whole increased in the first year
of this period (1994 to 1995) and decreased
substantially for 1996. Total other on-site waste
management was 5.2 million pounds in 1994,7.0
million pounds in 1995, and 1.1 million pounds in
1996.
Smaller changes were reported in on-site waste
management by motor vehicle and car body
manufacturers (SIC code 3711). In this industry,
recycling and treatment increased for 1994-1996,
but this was offset by a decrease in energy

recovery. The net reduction in other on-site waste
management of 450,000 pounds placed this
industry third for decreases for the period.
The ship building and repairing industry (SIC code
3731) reported the largest increase, 2.6 million
pounds. One facility accounted for this increase in
1996. Jn previous years, the facility's owners,
adding barge services and a drydock to the
facility's operations, classified its operations in SIC
code 4491, outside TRTs reporting criteria. New
owners in 1996 determined that more than 50% of
the facility's income came from ship building and
repairing (SIC code 3731). Accordingly, the facility
filed in this SIC code for 1996.
On-site waste management data for 1994-1996
appear in Table 14-15.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Four industries reported decreases of more than 1
million pounds each in transfers off-site for further
waste management since 1994 (data for some types
of off-site transfers were not collected in 1988).
Leading these industries was the manufacture of
truck trailers (SIC code 3715), with a 5.2
million-pound decrease. More than half of this
reduction was reported in transfers to recycling
(2.8 million pounds).
The multiple-codes group—forms submitted by
facilities that used more than one SIC code to
describe their operation—had the second largest
reduction, a net decrease of 2.6 million pounds. As
is typical of this more diverse group, no single
transfer, type accounted for this large decrease.
Other industries with large reductions were aircraft
engines and engine parts (1.7 million pounds, SIC
code 3724) and railroad equipment (1.2 million
pounds, SIC code 3743).
i,
Two industries reported large increases in transfers
off-site for further waste management from 1994 to
1996. These were ship building and repairing (SIC
code 3731), with a net increase of 4.5 million
pounds, and motor vehicles and car bodies (SIC
code 3711) with an increase of 2.3 million pounds.
In both cases, the increase occurred in transfers to
recycling, only slightly offset by smaller reductions
in other transfer types since 1994.
Table 14-16 provides data on transfers off-site for
further waste management for all four-digit SIC
codes in the transportation equipment sector.
Facilities with Lame Increases and Decreases
in Releases. 1988-1996
The facility with the largest increase in releases was
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky in
Georgetown, Kentucky (SIC codes 3711 and 3714),
with a 2.0 million-pound increase. Over one-fourth
of the change was accounted for by an increase in
air emissions of xylene (mixed isomers). The
facility, an automobile manufacturing plant,
produced 18,527 vehicles in 1988 and 385,657 in
1996. Toyota attributes the increase in xylene
emissions to the increase in production. Xylene is a
component of the paint used on the new vehicles.
Saturn Corporation in Spring Hill, Tennessee (did
not report in 1988, SIC code 3711 in 1996), ranked
second for increases with a 1.2 million-pound
change. The automobile manufacturing facility
came into production in 1990; therefore, there were
no data for 1988. There were 556,000 pounds of
glycol ethers, a constituent of paint, reported as
released to ah- in 1996.
Subaru-Isuzu Automotive, Inc., in Lafayette,
Indiana (did not report in 1988, SIC code 3711 in
1996), was third in increases with 1.1 million
pounds. This automobile manufacturing plant did
not come into operation until after the 1988
reporting year. Therefore, the data for 1996 equals
the total increase. Air emissions of xylene (mixed
isomers), a paint constituent, accounted for almost
half of this facility's overall increase.

Chapter 14 — TRI Data for Transportation Equipment
Alliant Techsystems, Inc., in Magna, Utah (SIC
code 3764 in 1988 and codes 2892, 3089 and 3764
in 1996), ranked first in decreases of releases. This
facility manufactures large solid fuel rocket motors
for the Department of Defense and several
commercial ventures. Alliant's rank was largely the
result of the phase-out of dichloromethane
(methylene chloride) as a conditioning agent in
graphite fiber manufacturing. When the Department
of Defense changed its material specifications for
military contractors as a result of the Montreal
Protocol, this facility engaged in a reduction
program. Substitution of a water-soluble compound
for dichloromethane accounted for almost half of
this facility's 2.73 million-pound reduction of
releases.
Ford Electronics in Connersville, Indiana (SIC code
3714), was second in decreases with an overall 2.4
million-pound reduction. This manufacturer of
automobile air conditioning systems reduced
trichloroethylene air emissions by 1.4 million
pounds, 59% of the facility's total change, by
substituting aqueous cleaning systems for vapor
degreasing systems. /
Chrysler Corporation in Fenton, Missouri (SIC
code 3711), was third in decreases with a 2.2 ,
million-pound reduction. Trucks and vans are
manufactured at this Chrysler plant. The facility
switched from solvent-based paints to water-based
paints for new vehicles. Consequently, releases of
paint solvents, such as xylene (mixed isomers),
were significantly reduced. Xylene (mixed isomers)
accounted for 63% of the facility's reduction in
releases.
Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which have
been identified as reporting errors or plant closures.
Because these are errors or plant closures and not
actual changes in the data, these facilities are not
discussed in detail here. There are four such
facilities in the transportation equipment sector:
Ford Motor Company, Claycomo, Missouri,
increase of 1.2 million pounds, reporting error.
The facility contact stated that there may be an
error in their 1988 reporting. At the time of this
writing, the facility is considering whether or
not to revise its 1988 submission.
General Motors NAO Van Nuys Plant,
Panorama City, California, decrease of 2.7
million pounds, plant closure.
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Savannah,
Georgia, decrease of 2.7 million pounds,
reporting error.
Gunderson, Inc., Portland, Oregon, increase of
6.2 million pounds, reporting error.
1991-1996 Waste Management Data
for Transportation Equipment
Table 14-17 summarizes on- and off-site waste
management data for the transportation equipment
sector for 1991, when TRI began collecting this
information, and the three most recent years
(1994-1996). Total production-related waste
decreased from 382.7 million pounds in 1991 to
334.9 million pounds in 1996, a 12.5% reduction.
This reduction masks an even larger decrease in
more recent years, since production-related waste
had increased to 413.9 million pounds by 1994.
The largest changes were reported in recycling, and
these changes partly offset each other. On-site
recycling dropped from 65.8 million pounds in
1991 to 16.1 million pounds in 1996. At the same
time, off-site recycling rose from 111.3 million
pounds to 169.0 million pounds. The net decrease
on-site for recycling was 49.8 million pounds and
the increase off-site was 57.7 million pounds.
Quantities released on- and off-site in this sector
decreased from 141.4 million pounds in 1991 to

99.6 million pounds in 1996, a reduction of 29.5%.
All other types of waste management decreased
except on-site treatment, which had a net increase
of 629,000 pounds for 1994-1996.
Thus, the largest changes in waste management in
the transportation equipment sector for the
comparison period were a reduction in quantities of
TRI chemicals released on- and off-site
accompanied by a net increase in recycling (on-and
off-site combined). These changes suggest some
improvements over time in how waste has been
managed in this sector, in relation to the waste
management hierarchy (described in Chapter 1).
Furthermore, reductions in production-related
waste altogether have continued in recent years,
even as the sector has seen recovery to its earlier
production levels. Notably, some facilities in this
sector with large increases in production-related
waste attribute those increases to expanding
production, while some facilities with substantial
reductions have undertaken process and material
modifications that resulted in lesser quantities of
toxic waste.
Figure 14-13 displays the 1994-1996 percentage
changes in production-related waste by waste
management type for this sector.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Waste Management. 1991-1996
Arvin N.A. Automotive in Franklin, Indiana (SIC
code 3714), ranked first in increases of production-
related waste. The facility buys stock stainless steel
and produces finished tubing for automobiles.
Scrap material is sent off-site for recycling.
Manganese (a constituent of stainless steel)
reported as recycled off-site accounted for 82
percent of the overall 14.3 million-pound increase.

'• Ti
Chapter 14 — TRI Data for Transportation Equipment
The facility attributes this change to increased
production over the 1991-1996 period.
Delphi Packard Electric Systems in Warren, Ohio
(SIC codes 3714), was the second-largest increaser
with a, total change of 7.0 million pounds. The
Delphi Packard facility manufactures wire
harnesses for automobiles. Wire and wire terminal
scrap are sent off-site for recycling. The facility
reported a 7.5 million-pound increase in off-site
recycling of copper compounds, a major
component of the wire and wire terminals, as a
result of a production increase. Decreases in other
production-related waste categories resulted in an
overall increase that was smaller than the increase
in off-site recycling (for copper compounds).
The facility with the third largest increase is
Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing in Normal,
Illinois (SIC code 3711), with a 5.4 million-pound
increase. The increase is largely due to a change in
the interpretation of TRI reporting requirements,
according to the facility contact.1 Nickel, a
constituent of the metal used in the production of
automobile body parts, was the chemical with the
single-largest increase (1.0 million pounds, off-site
recycling).
Preferred Technical Group, Inc., in Mitchell,
Indiana (SIC code 3714 in 1988, did not report in
1996), had the biggest reduction in production-
related waste with a total decrease of 22.4 million
pounds. The facility, a manufacturer of automobile
air conditioner components, eliminated the use of
trichloroethylene as a degreaser by substituting
water-based detergents. This was the only chemical
reported to TRI by Preferred Technical Group

Facilities may use their own interpretations for purposes of
reporting to TRI. Changes in these interpretations do not

recycling.
(1987 to 1994), and it accounted for 100 percent of
the facility's reduction.
Second was Modine Manufacturing Company in
Logansport, Indiana (SIC code 3714). The facility,
a manufacturer of air conditioner parts—
historically for automobiles and currently for home
and commercial applications—phased-out the use
of 1,1,1-trichloroethane from a degreasing
operation. An aqueous cleaner was substituted. The
elimination of 1,1,1-trichloroethane was
predominantly responsible for the overall decrease
of 7.1 million pounds in production-related waste.
The third-ranked facility for decreases was the
Cessna Aircraft Company in Columbus, Georgia
(SIC code 3728), with a 4.1 million-pound
reduction. The Cessna facility manufactures aircraft
structural detail and assemblies such as wing flaps,
ailerons, and stabilizers. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane
(TCA), the chemical primarily responsible for the
facility's ranking, was used in a degreasing process
and was replaced by trichloroethylene. Because of
the phase-out of TCA, no data were reported for the
chemical in 1996. Therefore, the 1991 data for the
chemical equals the total decrease. Nearly all of the
1991 data for TCA were reported as recycled on-
site (4.08 million pounds). The facility states that
its interpretation of how to calculate this quantity in
1991 resulted in a deceptively large figure. On-site
recycling estimation methods at the plant have
since changed.2

Instruments and Photographic Equipment
(SIC Code 38)
A Look at the Instruments
and Photographic
Equipment Industry
(SIC Code 38)
The instruments and photographic equipment
industry (SIC code 38) produces instruments and
equipment for a variety of purposes as indicated by
its full title: measuring, analyzing, and controlling
instruments; photographic, medical, and optical
goods; watches and clocks (see Box 15-1).
Instruments and controls manufactured in SIC code
38 include search and navigation equipment such as
radar and sonar, laboratory apparatus,
environmental controls such as thermostats for
residential and commercial use, and industrial
instruments to measure, display and control process
variables. The sector produces medical instruments,
equipment, and supplies (including x-ray apparatus)
and ophthalmic goods (such as eyeglasses).
Photographic goods produced in this sector include
not only equipment and parts, but also photographic
film, paper, and chemicals. Box 15-1 lists Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and their
designations for this sector. In TRI, SIC codes are
given as reported by the facilities; these may differ
from information in economic and other data
collections.
The instruments and photographic equipment sector
shipped products valued at $151.02 billion in 1996,
up from $144.72 billion in 1995 (both in current
dollars). However, the sector's employment
decreased from 831,000 in 1995 to 821,000 in
1996. This sector has shown little growth in the
1990s, but it has also been one of the more
economically stable sectors. From 1989 to 1996,
production in this sector increased 4.7%, compared
to 17.6% for all U.S. manufacturing. During those
years, however, production in the instruments and
photographic equipment sector never fell below the
1989 level (see Chapter 1, Table 1-10).
At the four-digit SIC code level, the search and
navigation equipment industry (SIC code 3612)
shipped products valued at $30.37 billion in 1996.
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) shipped products valued at $22.30 billion.
Two other industries in this sector had shipments
valued at more than $15 billion in 1996: surgical
and medical instruments (SIC code 3841) with
$17.04 billion and surgical appliances (SIC code
3842) with $15.87 billion. As noted throughout this
chapter, the manufacture of photographic equipment
and supplies in SIC code 3861 was associated with
the sector's largest releases and waste management
of TRI chemicals. Production of surgical, medical,
and dental instruments (industries in SIC code 384,
at the three-digit level) also contributed significantly
to the sector's TRI reporting.

The manufacture of instruments and photographic
equipment involves processes common to some
other industrial sectors, such as fabrication of metal
products, production of articles from plastics
materials or glass, and manufacture of electronic
equipment. However, in the instruments and
photographic equipment sector, some products may
require machining to finer tolerances or testing to
stricter product and performance standards. Many
medical and surgical products, for example, must
meet additional criteria such as the ability of
pacemakers to withstand sterilization in an
autoclave.
Photographic equipment and supplies (SIC code
3861) ranked first in this sector for releases and for
production-related waste in 1996. Recycling is
common in photographic film manufacture, to
recover valuable silver from wastes. Traditional
silver-based processes continue to dominate the
photographic industry's market, although new
techniques (such as digital photography) are
advancing. Manufacture of photographic film
generally begins with production of a thin sheet of
plastic from a cellulose acetate base (a solvent-
based process). Silver nitrate, produced by
dissolving silver in nitric acid, is added to a gelatin
chemically treated with iodide and potassium
bromide, yielding an emulsion of silver halide
salts.

Instruments and
Photographic Equipment
Table 15-1 summarizes TRI reporting by the
instruments and photographic equipment sector for
1996. The sector submitted 707 forms in 1996. Of
these, 46 were Form A certification statements,
certifying that a facility's total annual reportable
amount of a TRI chemical was less than 500
pounds for the year and that the facility did not
manufacture, process, or otherwise use more than 1
million pounds. (The Form A certification
statement is explained in Chapter 1.)
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) submitted the sector's largest number of
forms, 251 or 35.595? of the total. The surgical and
medical instruments industry (SIC code 3841)
ranked second with 121 forms, or 17.1%. Ranking

Chapter 15 — TRI Data for Instruments and Photographic Equipment
Forms reporting multiple SIC codes in SIC code 38
(explained below) reported the sector's third largest
amount of on-site releases, with 549,000 pounds
(3.8%), and total releases, with 556,000 pounds
(3.6%). The surgical appliances industry (SIC code
3842) ranked third for other on-site waste
management, with 1.1 million pounds (2.7%), and
the environmental controls industry (SIC code
3822) ranked third for total production-related
waste, with 4.9 million pounds (6.4%).
Multiple SIC Codes in SIC Code 38
Some facilities in the instruments and photographic
equipment sector manufacture distinct, but related,
products that are classified in separate SIC codes
within SIC code 38. A facility may manufacture
both process control instruments for industry (SIC
code 3823) and instruments to measure electricity
(SIC code 3825). Another facility may produce
both analytical instruments for laboratory use (SIC
code 3826) and miscellaneous measuring and
controlling devices (SIC code 3829). These
facilities may report multiple SIC codes on their
TRI forms. (Box 1-5 in Chapter 1 further explains
reporting of multiple SIC codes and its affect on the
analyses presented in the TRI data release.)
Table 15-2 further examines reporting on the 40
forms that reported multiple SIC codes in SIC code
38 in 1996. The surgical and medical instruments
industry (SIC code 3841) appeared in the two
combinations that were most frequently reported.
This industry and the surgical appliances industry
(SIC code 3842) was the most frequent
combination, on 19 forms. Surgical and medical
instruments and electromedical equipment (SIC
code 3845) was the second most frequent
combination, on 6 forms. Altogether, the multiple-
codes forms in SIC code 38 reported 556,000
pounds of total on- and off-site releases and 1.6
million pounds of total production-related waste in
1996.
On- and Off-site Releases
The instruments and photographic equipment sector
reported 13.2 million pounds of air emissions in
1996, amounting to 86.0% of all releases reported
in this sector. Surface water discharges were the
second-largest release type, with 1.3 million pounds
(8.5%). Off-site releases (transfers to disposal)
totaled 849,000 pounds (5.5%). The sector reported
less than 3,000 pounds of other on-site land
releases and no underground injection. Table 15-3
presents the sector's on- and off-site releases for

1996, and Figure 15-1 illustrates their distribution
by release type.
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) reported the sector's largest amounts of on-
site releases. This industry reported releasing 9.1
million pounds to air and 1.3 million pounds to
surface water. One facility in SIC code 3861
reported air emissions of 2.4 million pounds of
dichloromethane, 1.4 million pounds of methanol,
and 2.0 million pounds of hydrochloric acid in
1996. These were the three top chemicals for
releases by this sector in 1996, as seen in the
discussion of "1996 TRI Data by Chemical,"
below. The same facility and another facility owned
by the same parent company reported a total of
940,000 pounds of surface water discharges of
nitrate compounds.
The surgical and medical instruments industry (SIC
code 3841) ranked second in this sector for air
emissions, with 1.6 million pounds. No industry in
this sector, other than the photographic equipment
industry (SIC code 3861), reported more than 1,000
pounds of surface water discharges. The
photographic equipment industry and the
environmental controls industry (SIC code 3822)
each reported approximately 1,000 pounds of other
on-site land releases.

Other On-site Waste Management
The instruments and photographic equipment sector
reported on-site treatment totaling 37.6 million
pounds in 1996, as shown in Table 15-4. On-site
treatment amounted to 88.5% of the sector's total
other on-site waste management. The sector
reported 4.0 million pounds of on-site recycling and
939,000 pounds of on-site energy recovery. These
amounts represented 9.3% and 2.2%, respectively,
of the sector's total other on-site waste
management.
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) reported the largest amounts in all three types
of on-site waste management. This industry
reported on-site treatment of 33.4 million pounds,
including 14.0 million pounds of methanol reported
by one facility. This one form for methanol
represented one-third (32.9%) of the sector's total
other on-site waste management in 1996. The
surgical and medical instruments industry (SIC
code 3841) ranked second in the sector for on-site
treatment, with 2.9 million pounds.
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code

industry (SIC code 3841) ranked second for on-site
recycling with 679,000 pounds. Only one industry
in this sector, besides photographic equipment,
reported on-site energy recovery. This was the
environmental controls industry (SIC code 3822)
with 255,000 pounds.
Figure 15-3 illustrates the percentage distribution of
on-site waste management types reported by the
instruments and photographic equipment sector in
1996. Figure 15-4 illustrates the distribution of on-

industries in this sector.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Two-thirds (67.8%) of the instruments and
photographic equipment sector's 1996 reporting of
transfers off-site for further waste management
consisted of transfers to recycling, which totaled
12.2 million pounds. The sector reported 2.4
million pounds of transfers to energy recovery
(13.1% of total transfers off-site for further waste
management), 2.5 million pounds of transfers to
treatment (13.7%), and 931,000 pounds of transfers
to POTWs (5.2%). Table 15-5 presents these data
and Figure 15-5 illustrates the percentage

The environmental controls industry (SIC code
3822) ranked first among instruments and
photographic equipment industries for transfers to
recycling, with 4.0 million pounds. This included
2.8 million pounds of copper. Two environmental
controls facilities, owned by the same parent
company, reported transferring a total of 1.3
million pounds of copper to recycling. The
photographic equipment industry (SIC code 3861)
fanke<| second for transfers to recycling, with 3.6
million pounds, including 2.2 million pounds of
dichloromethane. Three unrelated facilities in this
industry reported almost all of this industry's
transfers of dichloromethane to recycling.
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) reported transfers of 2.0 million pounds to
energy recovery and 1.1 million pounds to
treatment. These were the sector's largest amounts
in the two transfer types. No other industry in this
sector reported as much as 125,000 pounds in either
category. The photographic equipment industry
also reported the sector's largest transfers to
POTWs, with 381,000 pounds, followed by
surgical and medical instruments (SIC code 3841),
with 209,000 pounds.

California and Illinois. These amounts represented
15.8% of the sector's forms in New York, 6.9% in
Massachusetts, and 6.1% each in California and
Illinois.
New York ranked first in this sector for on-site
releases (7.68 million pounds), total on- and off-site
releases (7.70 million pounds), other on-site waste
management (27.4 million pounds), and total
production-related waste (36.2 million pounds).
Half or more of the sector's totals in these
categories was reported in New York, including
64.4% of the total other on-site waste management.
The photographic equipment facility (in SIC code
3861) that reported the majority of that industry's
releases and on-site waste management, as
discussed earlier in this chapter, is located in New
York.

Pennsylvania ranked second for on-site releases and
total on- and off-site releases, followed by
Colorado in both categories. The sector reported
826,000 pounds of total releases in Pennsylvania,
5.4% of the sector's total, and 743,000 pounds in
Colorado, 4.8% of the total. The large majority of
the releases in Pennsylvania and all of the releases
in Colorado were reported as on-site releases.
For other on-site waste management and for total
production-related waste, Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania ranked second and third, after New
York. The sector reported 4.2 million pounds of
other on-site waste management in Massachusetts,
which was 9.9% of the sector's total. In
Pennsylvania, the sector reported 1.6 million
pounds, 3.8% of the total.
The two categories not led by New York were off-
site releases and transfers off-site for further waste
management. The instruments and photographic
equipment sector reported 217,000 pounds of off-
site releases in Ohio and 214,000 pounds in
Louisiana. These amounts were approximately 25%
each of the sector's total off-site releases. South
Carolina ranked third with 122,000 pounds
(14.4%). Massachusetts ranked first for transfers
off-site for further waste management in this sector,
reporting 3.4 million pounds (19.0%). Ohio ranked
second with 1.4 million pounds (7.9%), and
Pennsylvania ranked third with 1.3 million pounds
(7.3%).

1996 TRI Data by
Chemical for Instruments
and Photographic
Equipment
The 15 chemicals with the largest on- and off-site
releases reported by the instruments and
photographic equipment sector in 1996 appear in
Table 15-7. Releases of these chemicals totaled
13.3 million pounds, or 86.6% of the sector's total
releases in 1996. Reported air emissions of 11.7
million pounds of the top 15 chemicals amounted to
88.9% of the sector's total air emissions. The sector
also reported discharging 1.1 million pounds of
these chemicals to surface waters, 84.6% of the
total in that category. The top 15 chemicals
represented half (52.6%) of the sector's off-site
releases, with 447,000 pounds.
The top three chemicals, shown on Table 15-7,
were dichloromethane with 3.5 million pounds of
releases, methanol with 2.4 million pounds, and
hydrochloric acid with 2.0 million pounds. More
than 98% of these reported releases were air
emissions. As noted earlier, one facility in the
photographic equipment industry (SIC code 3861)
accounted for the majority of these releases; This
facility reported air emissions of 2.4 million pounds
of dichloromethane (69.4% of the sector's air
emissions of dichloromethane), 1.4 million pounds
of methanol (59.9%), and 2.0 million pounds of
hydrochloric acid (100.0%).
The fourth-ranked chemical, nitrate compounds,
accounted for a large majority (77.6%)of the
sector's surface water discharges. Two facilities in
the photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) reported most of the sector's surface water
discharges of nitrate compounds; they are owned

by the same parent company. One facility reported
releasing 590,000 pounds of nitrate compounds to
surface waters. The second facility (which also
reported the air emissions cited above) reported
350,000 pounds. Together, they accounted for
93.3% of the surface water discharges of nitrate
compounds reported by the instruments and
photographic equipment sector in 1996.
The sector reported off-site releases (transfers to
disposal) in the largest amounts for zinc
compounds (234,000 pounds) and barium (212,000
pounds). Together, they accounted for 52.5% of the
sector's total off-site releases. These chemicals
ranked 11th and 13th, respectively, for total on- and
off-site releases reported by the instruments and
photographic equipment sector. As explained
above, one facility reported 160,000 pounds of zinc
compounds (71.4% of the total for this chemical),
and one facility reported 212,000 pounds of barium
(100.0% of the total for this chemical).
OSHA Carcinogens
On- and off-site releases in this sector of chemicals
designated OSHA carcinogens totaled 4.5 million
pounds in 1996, as shown in Table 15-8. (OSHA
carcinogens and the bases for their designation
appear in Box 1-9 in Chapter 1.) Releases of OHSA
carcinogens represented 29.1% of the sector's total
releases. The majority (4.3 million pounds, or
96.3%) was released to air.
Two of the top 15 chemicals for total releases by
the instruments and photographic equipment sector
were carcinogens. These included the top-ranked
chemical, dichloromethane, with 3.5 million
pounds of releases, and the eighth-ranked chemical,
trichloroethylene, with 525,000 pounds (see Table
15-7). The sector also reported releases of more
than 50,000 pounds each for three other OSHA
carcinogens: ethylene oxide (143,000 pounds),
styrene (102,000 pounds), and acetaldehyde
(51,000 pounds).
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) ranked first in the instruments and
photographic equipment sector for releases of
OSHA carcinogens, with a total of 3.3 million
pounds, 72.9% of the sector's total. This industry
reported 3.1 million pounds (72.4%) of the sector's
air emissions of OSHA carcinogens; 50,000 pounds
of surface water discharges (100.0%); and 91,000
pounds of off-site releases (transfers to disposal,
79.0%). The photographic equipment industry
reported air emissions of dichloromethane totaling
3.0 million pounds, including 2.4 million pounds
reported by one facility, mentioned earlier. The
surgical and medical instruments industry (SIC
code 3841) reported the second-largest total
releases of OSHA carcinogens in this sector, with
388,000 pounds (8.7%), followed by the
environmental controls industry (SIC code 3822)
with 288,000 pounds (6.5%).
Figure 15-7 shows the on- and off-site releases of
the four-digit SIC codes with the largest OSHA
carcinogen releases.
1996 TRI Chemicals in
Waste for Instruments
and Photographic
Equipment
The instruments and photographic equipment
industry reported production-related waste totaling
76.5 million pounds in 1996, as shown in Table
15-9. Nearly half (49.2%) of this total consisted of
on-site treatment, which was 37.6 million pounds.
The sector's second-largest waste management
option in 1996 was releases; quantities released on-
and off-site site totaled 15.4 million pounds, or
20.2% of total production-related waste. The sector
reported 12.7 million pounds of off^site recycling;
this was 16.6% of total production-related waste
and ranked third among waste management
methods in the instruments and photographic
equipment sector's reporting.

Figure 15-8 illustrates the distribution of
production-related waste by waste management
category for the instruments and photographic
equipment sector.
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) reported two-thirds or more of the sector's
total for each waste management type except off-
site recycling. For on-site waste management, this
industry reported 2.6 million pounds of recycling,
684,000 pounds of energy recovery, and 33.4
million pounds of treatment. These were 66.8%,
72.8%, and 88.6% of the sector's totals in these on-
site waste management categories. In off-site waste
management types, this industry reported 3.7
million pounds (29.4%) of recycling, 2.0 million
pounds (83.4%) of energy recovery, and 2.5 million
pounds (72.2%) of treatment. The photographic
equipment industry also reported 10.5 million
pounds as released on- and off-site, which was
68.2% of that category.
The environmental controls industry (SIC code
3822) reported the sector's largest amount of off-
site recycling (4.0 million pounds, or 31.7%). As

noted, the environmental controls industry was also
the only other industry in this sector to report on-
site energy recovery (255,000 pounds, or 27.2%),
besides the photographic equipment industry (SIC
code 3861).
The surgical and medical instruments industry (SIC
code 3841) ranked second in this sector for
reporting of on-site recycling (679,000 pounds, or
17.1%), on-site treatment (2.9 million pounds, or

7.8%), off-site treatment (298,000 pounds, or 8.8%)
and quantities released (1.8 million pounds, or
11.7%). The ophthalmic goods industry (SIC code
3851) ranked second for off-site energy recovery
(112,000 pounds, or 4.6%).
Distribution of production-related waste for the top
industries in the sector appears in Figure 15-9.
Projected Quantities of TRI
Chemicals in Waste
The instruments and photographic equipment
sector's projections of waste management data
through 1998 appear in Table 15-10. (As explained
in Chapter 1, facilities not only report current data
but project waste management quantities for the
next two years in their TRI submissions.) Total
production-related waste was projected to decrease
1.2% from 76.5 million pounds in 1996 to 75.5
million pounds in 1998.
The sector projected its largest reduction (in pounds
and percent) in quantities released on- and off-site,
from 15.4 million pounds to 13.4 million pounds, a
projected 13.5% reduction. Decreases were also
projected in on-site recycling, from 4.0 million
pounds to 3.7 million pounds (a 6.4% reduction),
and in off-site recycling, from 12.7 million pounds
to 12.0 million pounds (a 5.5% reduction). A small
reduction was expected in off-site treatment, from
3.40 million pounds to 3.36 million pounds (a 1.1%
reduction).
On-site treatment was expected to increase 5.4%,
from 37.6 million pounds to 39.7 million pounds.
The sector projected a smaller absolute increase in
on-site energy recovery (from 939,000 pounds to

10.8% increase. Minimal change was projected in
off-site energy recovery.
Figure 15-10 illustrates the projected percentage
changes for the instruments and photographic
equipment sector from 1996 to 1998.
These projected changes represent some potential
improvement in the sector's management of TRI
chemicals in waste. Although total production-
related waste was expected to decrease only
modestly from 1996 to 1998, the projections
indicate a shift from releases to treatment among
methods of managing waste. Treatment (on- and

off-site) was projected to rise as a percentage of
total production-related waste (from approximately
54% to 57%), while releases were expected to
decline (from 20% to nearly 18%). Although not
the most preferred option in the waste management
hierarchy (explained in Chapter 1), treatment is
more desirable than releases.
Source Reduction Activity
As shown in Table 15-11, more than one-fourth
(27.9%) of the forms submitted by the instruments
and photographic equipment sector indicated one or
more source activities underway in 1996. Of the
197 forms indicating such activity, the
photographic equipment industry (SIC code 3861)
submitted 69 (also one-fourth, or 27.5%, of the
forms in that industry). The surgical and medical
instruments industry (SIC code 3841) submitted 31
forms indicating source reduction activity (25.6%).
Improvements in operating practices were the most
frequently reported source reduction activity (99
forms). Sixty forms reported process modifications,
which more often indicate innovative actions to
reduce TRI chemicals in waste at their source.

change in the number of Form A submissions. (The
Form A certification statement is explained in
Chapter 1.)
On- and Off-site Releases
On- and off-site releases reported by the
instruments and photographic equipment sector
decreased 14.0% from 17.9 million pounds in 1995
to 15.4 million pounds in 1996, as shown in Table
15-12. This reduction reflected a larger decrease in
air emissions, from 16.2 million pounds in 1995 to
13.2 million pounds in 1996. The sector reported
reductions in both fugitive and point-source
emissions for a net reduction of 18.3% hi air
emissions. Partly off-setting the decrease in
reported air emissions, surface water discharges
increased 47.4% from 880,000 pounds to 1.3
million pounds. One facility reported 370,000
pounds of this 417,000 pound increase in surface
water discharges. This facility reported discharges
of 220,000 pounds of nitrate compounds in 1995
and 590,000 pounds in 1996.
The sector also reported a small reduction in on-site
land releases (from 6,000 pounds to 3,000 pounds)
and a small increase in off-site releases (transfers to
disposal, from 812,000 pounds to 849,000 pounds).
Figure 15-11 illustrates the sector's percentage
change in on- and off-site releases from 1995 to
1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
The instruments and photographic equipment sector
reported a reduction in other on-site waste
management from 43.5 million pounds in 1995 to
42.5 million pounds in 1996, as shown in Table
15-12. This reduction of 1.0 million pounds (or
2.3%) consisted primarily of a decrease in on-site
recycling, from 4.8 million pounds to 4.0 million
pounds (a 17.9% decrease). A smaller reduction, in

both pounds and percent, occurred in reported on-
site treatment, from 37.8 million pounds to 37.6
million pounds (a 0.4% decrease). The sector
reported a small increase in on-site energy
recovery, from 907,000 pounds to 939,000 pounds
(a 3.5% increase).
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Table 15-12 also presents the instruments and
photographic equipment sector's reporting of
transfers off-site for further waste management in
1995 and 1996. The sector reported 21.5 million
pounds of such transfers in 1995 and 18.1 million
pounds in 1996, a reduction of 15.9% or 3.4 million
pounds.
The principal areas of reduction were transfers to
recycling, from 14.6 million pounds to 12.2 million
pounds, and transfers to treatment, from 3.7 million
pounds to 2.5 million pounds. The 2.3 million-
pound reduction in transfers to recycling
represented a 15.9% decrease, while the 1.2
million-pound reduction in transfers to treatment
represented a 32.9% decrease.
The sector reported small increases in the other
types of transfers off-site for further waste
management. Transfers to energy recovery
increased from 2.33 million pounds to 2.37 million
pounds and transfers to POTWs increased from
895,000 pounds to 931,000 pounds.

Chapter 15 — TRI Data for Instruments and Photographic Equipment
Changes in SIC Codes
As indicated in facility descriptions below, some
facilities report different SIC codes over time. This
may reflect new or discontinued lines of
production, or it may represent a different
understanding of how SIC code designations relate
to a facility's business activities. These changes can
contribute—sometimes largely—to apparent
increases or decreases across comparison years in
the amounts reported by the four-digit, or even two-
digit, SIC codes.
1988-1996 TRI Data for Instruments
and Photographic Equipment
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRI baseline year to the current year rely on
the list of "core" TRI chemicals that were
reportable, with the same reporting definition, in all
years. These multi-year comparisons also review
only the data elements that were collected in all
years, which excludes from this section any
analysis that distinguishes RCRA subtitle C
landfills from other land releases as well as analysis
based on the types of underground injection wells.
On-site waste management data and transfers off-
site to recycling and to energy recovery have been
collected only since 1991; these data are included,
but cannot be compared across the full 1988-1996
period.
As shown in Table 15-13, the number of forms
submitted by the instruments and photographic
equipment sector decreased by one-third (34.1%)
from 900 forms in 1988 to 593 forms in 1996.
The sector reported decreases in all types of on-
and off-site releases, for an overall reduction of
82.2% from 58.1 million pounds of total releases in
1988 to 10.4 million pounds in 1996. Most of this
reduction occurred in reporting of air emissions,
which decreased from 46.5 million pounds to 9.3
million pounds, an 80.0% decrease. About two-
thirds of the reduction in air emissions was reported
in point-source emissions and the remainder in
fugitive emissions.
Off-site releases reported by the instruments and
photographic equipment sector decreased by an
even greater percentage—92.7%—from 10.9
million pounds in 1988 to 794,000 pounds in 1996.
The sector also reported reductions from 1988 to
1996 in surface water discharges (from 390,000
pounds to 264,000 pounds), underground injection
(250 pounds to zero), and on-site land releases
(from 340,000 pounds to 3,000 pounds).
Figure 15-12 illustrates the sector's percentage
reductions in on- and off-site releases from 1988 to
1996.
On-site waste management and transfers off-site for
recycling or energy recovery were not collected in
1988. For the 1994-1996 period, the instruments
and photographic equipment sector reported an
increase in other on-site waste management from
34.3 million pounds to 39.7 million pounds, a 5.4
million-pound increase. On-site treatment increased
from 30.1 million pounds to 35.6 million pounds, a
5.5 million-pound increase. One facility in the
photographic equipment industry (SIC code 3861)
reported treating 11.0 million pounds of methanol
on-site in 1994 and 14.0 million pounds in both
1995 and 1996, accounting for 3.0 million pounds
of this increase.
The sector reported 3.5 million pounds of on-site
recycling in 1994 and 3.4 million pounds in 1996, a
129,000 pound reduction. Reporting of on-site
energy recovery showed essentially no net change
for 1994 to 1996.
The instruments and photographic equipment sector
reported decreases for the two transfer types that
were reportable for the full 1988-1996 comparison
period. The sector reported 6.8 million pounds of
transfers to treatment in 1988 and 2.0 million
pounds in 1996, a 70.4% reduction. For transfers to
POTWs, the sector reported 2.3 million pounds in

SIC code level within SIC code 38. The tables
present, respectively, on- and off-site releases,
other on-site waste management, and transfers off-
site for further waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) reported the instruments and photographic
equipment sector's largest decrease in on- and off-
site releases from 1988 to 1996. This industry
reported 38.2 million pounds of total releases in
1988 and 7.5 million pounds in 1996. Roughly two-
thirds of the photographic equipment industry's
reduction was reported in air emissions and one-
third in off-site releases (transfers to disposal). The
surgical and medical instruments industry (SIC
code 3841) ranked second for decreases, reporting
5.6 million pounds in 1988 and 769,000 pounds in
1996. Ranking third, the environmental controls
industry (SIC code 3822) reported a reduction from
1.9 million pounds to 492,000 pounds.- The
majority of the reductions by the surgical and
medical instruments industry and the environmental
controls industry occurred in reporting of air
emissions.

Chapter 15 — TRI Data for Instruments and Photographic Equipment
The optical instruments and lenses industry (SIC
code 3827) ranked first for increased releases
reported by the instruments and photographic
equipment sector, with 213,000 pounds in 1988 and
481,000 pounds in 1996. The increase was
attributable to increased reporting of off-site
releases (transfers to disposal) since 1994. The x-
ray apparatus and tubes industry (SIC code 3844)
ranked second for increases. This industry
submitted no reports in 1988, but reported 39,000
pounds of releases in 1996 (reported releases were
higher in 1995 than in either 1994 or 1996). No
other instruments and photographic equipment
industry recorded an increase in total releases from
1988 to 1996,
Table 15-14 provides release data for all four-digit
SIC codes in the instruments and photographic
equipment sector, for 1988-1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
The surgical appliances and supplies industry (SIC
code 3842) ranked first in the sector for reductions
in other on-site waste management from 1994 to
1996 (on-site waste management data were not
collected in 1988). This industry reported 1.5
million pounds in 1994 and 906,000 pounds in
1996, and the reduction occurred in reporting of on-
site treatment. The miscellaneous measuring and
controlling devices industry (SIC code 3829)
reported the sector's second-largest decrease, from
459,000 pounds to 24,000 pounds. This decrease
was attributable to a reduction in reporting of on-
site recycling. Ranking third, the search and
navigation equipment industry (SIC code 3812)
reported a reduction from 398,000 pounds to
52,000 pounds. Most of this reduction also
occurred in reporting of on-site recycling.
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) reported the largest increase, from 29.2
million pounds in 1994 to 34.9 million pounds in
1996. The surgical and medical instruments
industry (SIC code 3841) ranked second for
increases, reporting 2.1 million pounds in 1994 and
3.3 million pounds in 1996. These were also the
industries with the largest decreases in releases for
1988 to 1996, as described above. In both the
photographic equipment industry and the surgical
and medical instruments industry, the increase in
other on-site waste management occurred from
1994 to 1995, and both industries reported little
change from 1995 to 1996. Most of the increase in
both industries was reported in on-site treatment, as
well as on-site recycling.
The multiple-codes forms in SIC code 38 reported
the sector's third-largest increase, from 220,000
pounds to 306,000 pounds. This increase was
attributable to on-site treatment.
On-site waste management data for 1994-1996
appear in Table 15-15.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The photographic equipment industry (SIC code
3861) reported the sector's largest decrease in
transfers off-site for further waste management
from 1994 to 1996 (data for some types of off-site
transfers were not collected in 1988). This industry
also had the largest decrease in releases, but
reported the largest increase in other on-site waste
management, as discussed above. The photographic
equipment industry reported 11.2 million pounds of
transfers off-site for further waste management in
1994 and 7.3 million pounds in 1996, with
decreases in all types, especially transfers to
recycling and to treatment.
The environmental controls industry (SIC code
3822) ranked second for decreases, reporting 4.7
million pounds in 1994 and approximately 4.0
million pounds in both 1995 and 1996. The fluid
meters and counting devices industry (SIC code
3824) ranked third, with 702,000 pounds in 1994
and 360,000 pounds in 1996 (the 1995 level was
higher, at 728,000 pounds). For both industries, the
largest reduction occurred in reporting of transfers
to recycling.

Chapter 15— TRI Data for Instruments and Photographic Equipment
The process control instruments industry (SIC code
3823) reported the sector's largest increase in
transfers off-site for further waste management.
This industry reported 446,000 pounds in 1994 and
554,000 pounds in 1996. Ranking second, the x-ray
apparatus and tubes industry (SIC code 3844)
reported an increase from 103,000 pounds to
180,000 pounds. For both industries, the increase
was attributable to transfers to recycling. The
optical instruments and lenses industry (SIC code
3827) ranked third, reporting 26,000 pounds in
1994 and 93,000 pounds in 1996, principally in
transfers to treatment.
Table 15-16 presents the sector's transfers off-site
for further waste management for 1988-1996.
Facilities with Lame Increases and Decreases
in Releases, 1988-1996
Morton International, Inc., in New Iberia, Louisiana
(did not report in 1988, SIC code 3827 in 1996),
was the top increaser in releases with 215,000
pounds. The facility did not begin operation until
after the 1988 reporting year. Therefore, the total
releases for 1996 equal the overall increase. Zinc
compounds accounted for 75% of the 1996 release
reporting. The facility contacts did not comment on
the type of products manufactured or how zinc
compounds are used. SIC code 3827 represents
optical instruments and lenses.
White Rogers Div. Batesville in Batesville,
Arkansas (SIC code 3822), was second with an
overall increase of 190,000 pounds between 1988
and 1996. The facility manufactures natural gas
valves for residential applications.
Trichloroethylene (TCE) accounted for 84% of the
total increase in reporting. The facility reported no
releases for the chemical in 1988 and reported
160,000 pounds of air emissions in 1996. TCE
replaced 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) in a solvent
vapor degreasing system prior to the 1996 reporting
year. Conversely, the facility reported data for TCA
in 1988 but not in 1996. The ranking as an
increaser in releases is due to a change in air
emissions estimation methodology, the result being
that the decrease in TCA reporting did not equal the
increase in TCE reporting. The facility contact
stated that by early 1999, the solvent vapor
degreasing system will be fully phased-out and
replaced by an aqueous cleaning system.
Mita South Carolina, Inc., in Fountain Inn, South
Carolina (did not report in 1988, SIC code 3861 in
1996), ranked third in increases with a total
124,000 pounds. Styrene reporting accounted for
71% of the total increase. Proprietary toner
formulations for the photocopier industry are
manufactured at this facility. Granular styrene
resins are used as a toner constituent. The facility
did not begin operation until 1992. Consequently,
the total releases for the 1996 reporting year equal
the total increase between 1988 and 1996.
Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York
(SIC code 3861), was the top decreaser in releases
with a 13.4 million-pound reduction between 1988
and 1996. A reduction in dichloromethane
reporting accounted for 50% of the facility's overall
decrease. The chemical is used as a solvent in the
production of acetate film-base. In addition to film
and photographic paper, the plant also
manufactures synthetic organic chemicals used in
photographic products. The facility contact
attributed the decrease to greater process efficiency
and the installation of pollution control devices.
This facility also ranked second for decreases in
waste management (see "Facilities with Large
Increases and Decreases in Waste Management,
1991-1996").
Du Pont in Towanda, Pennsylvania (SIC code
3861), ranked second in decreases with 7.4 million
pounds. The facility manufactures coated film
products used in electronics, printing and
publishing, and medical industries. Dichlo-
romethane, a solvent in coating and cleaning
operations, accounted for 96% of the reported
decrease. The facility contact cited improvements
in pollution control technology as the primary

reason for the reduction. Since the 1996 reporting
year, dichloromethane has been eliminated
altogether through process substitutions.
Anitec International Paper in Binghamton, New
York (SIC code 3861), was third in decreases with
2.7 million pounds. The facility ran film and
photographic paper coating operations and
manufactured film-base and photographic chemical
processing solutions. Dichloromethane, used in the
production of film-base, was responsible for 67%
of the facility's reduction. The facility reported no
releases of the chemical in 1996. The processes in
which dichloromethane was used was shut down in
late 1991 due to a declining market. One reason
cited for this was the growing popularity of desk-
top computer graphics imaging. This facility was
also third in decreases of production-related waste

Chapter 15— TRI Data for Instruments and Photographic Equipment
from 1991 to 1996. See "Facilities with Large
Increases and Decreases in Waste Management,
1991-1996," for more information.
Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which have
been identified as reporting errors or plant closures.
Because these are errors or plant closures and not
actual changes in the data, these facilities are not
discussed in detail here. There is one such facility
in the instruments and photographic equipment
sector:
Xerox Corporation, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
decrease of 3.1 million pounds, reporting error.
1991-1996 Waste Management Data
for Instruments and Photographic
Equipment
Table 15-17 summarizes on- and off-site waste
management data for the instruments and
photographic equipment sector for 1991, when TRI
began collecting this information, and the three
most recent years (1994-1996). The sector reported
a 41.5% reduction in total production-related waste,
from 115.0 million pounds in 1991 to 67.3 million
pounds in 1996. The largest factor in this 47.7
million-pound reduction was a reduction in
quantities released on- and off-site from 35.8
million pounds to 10.4 million pounds. This
represented a 71.0% reduction in quantities
released. The sector also reported an 86.3%
reduction in on-site recycling, from 25.1 million
pounds to 3.5 million pounds.
Reporting of all types of off-site waste management
decreased from 1991 to 1996: recycling from 16.4
million pounds to 12.3 million pounds, energy
recovery from 3.4 million pounds to 2.4 million
pounds, and treatment from 4.4 million pounds to
2.5 million pounds. These represented percentage
decreases ranging from 25.0% to 43.5%. As noted
earlier, one facility in the photographic equipment
industry (SIC code 3861) reported a 3.0 million-
pound increase in on-site treatment of methanol
from 1994 to 1995.
The instruments and photographic equipment sector
reported increases in on-site treatment (from 29.6
million pounds to 35.6 million pounds) and on-site
energy recovery (from 269,000 pounds to 684,000
pounds). These were increases of 20.5% and
153.7%, respectively.
Figure 15-13 illustrates the percentage changes in
waste management methods reported by the
instruments and photographic equipment sector for
1991-1996.
The sector's changes in waste management
amounts reported to TRI from 1991 to 1996
indicate progress in reducing the proportion of
production-related waste that the sector releases to
the environment. The sector reported cutting in half
the proportion of its TRI chemicals in waste that it
released from 1991 to 1996 (from about 30% to
about 15% of total production-related waste). In
terms of the waste management hierarchy
(explained in Chapter 1), releases are the least
desirable option for managing waste that cannot be
prevented. Among other waste management
options, however, treatment nearly doubled (from
about 30% to 57% of production-related waste).
Although this option is preferable to releases, it is
less desirable than recycling or energy recovery.
The sector reported less of its production-related
waste as recycled over the 1991-1996 period,
decreasing from 36% of production-related waste to
23%.

in 1996), was first in increases of waste managed
with 761,000 pounds. The facility produces
chemicals used in the manufacture of Polaroid™
film. Dichloromethane, used as a solvent,
accounted for 85% of the increase. No data for
dichloromethane were reported in 1991. According
to the facility contact, a categorical discharge
regulation for organic chemicals, plastics, and
synthetic fibers came into effect in 1991. The
facility was not equipped to meet the new discharge
levels and ceased using some chemicals, including
dichloromethane, during part of 1991 until
upgrades were made to their wastewater treatment
operations. Full-time operations in subsequent
years account for the increase.
" 'ji ! "
Polaroid Corporation in New Bedford,
Massachusetts (SIC code 3861), ranked second in
increases with 729,000 pounds. This Polaroid
facility, which manufactures medical imaging and
graphic arts products, did not become operational
until 1993. Therefore, there were no data reported
in 1991. Methyl ethyl ketone data constituted 98%
of the facility's 1996 waste management reporting.
The chemical is used as a solvent in coating
operations.
Azon Corporation in Johnson City, New York (SIC
code 3861), was third in increases with 511,000
pounds. A manufacturer of diazo paper (e.g., blue-
print paper), this facility uses methanol in a coating
operation. The chemical was responsible for 38%
of the overall increase. Two reasons were cited by
the facility contact for the increase in methanol
reporting: 1) another facility that ran coating
operations was shut down and consolidated with
586

Chapter 15 — TRI Data for Instruments and Photographic Equipment
the Johnson City plant, and 2) most of the increase
in methanol reporting was in on-site energy
recovery—the facility added a boiler to its energy
recovery system, thereby increasing the system's
capacity to utilize methanol as a fuel.
Anitec International Paper in Binghamton, New
York (SIC code 3861), was the top facility for
decreases in waste managed. On-site recycling of
dichloromethane dropped from 8.5 million pounds
in 1991 to zero in 1996. The facility recovered and
reused over 90% of the chemical before its film-
base manufacturing processes were shut down. See
"Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996," for more information.
Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York
(SIC code 3861), was second in decreases with a 7.8
million-pound reduction. Dichloromethane waste
management data decreased by 6.4 million pounds
(82% of the overall decrease) between 1991 and
1996 at this photographic products manufacturing
facility. The reporting category with the largest
dichloromethane decrease was on-site recycling.
This category dropped from 2.7 million pounds in
1991 to zero pounds in 1996. The facility contact
cited a change in the interpretation of the recycling
process as the reason.1 This facility also ranked first
for decreases in releases (see "Facilities with Large
Increases and Decreases in Releases, 1988-1996").
Du Pont in Towanda, Pennsylvania (SIC code
3861), was third with a 4.6 million-pound decrease.
Decreases in dichloromethane waste management
reporting accounted for 100% of the decrease. The
facility also ranked as a major decreaser in releases
(see "Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Releases, 1988-1996"). Dichloromethane was

used in cleaning and coating operations in the
manufacture of coated film products. The chemical
was phased-out by the end of 1996. Decreased
usage prior to the chemical's elimination resulted in
the decrease.

Toxics Release Inventory Data
for Miscellaneous Manufacturing
(SIC Code 39)
A Look at the
Miscellaneous
Manufacturing
Industries
(SIC Code 39)
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector produces
goods not classified in other manufacturing sectors.
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector includes
several industry groups—-jewelry and silverware,
musical instruments, toys and sporting goods, pens
and artists' materials, and costume jewelry and
fasteners. However, the largest group within this
sector comprises industries not classified in those
groups: miscellaneous manufactures. Products of
this "miscellaneous" group (designated SIC code
399 at the three-digit level) are brooms and
brushes, non-printed signs (electrical, mechanical,
or other), burial caskets, hard surface floor
coverings (such as linoleum), and a range of goods
from hair dryers to umbrellas. Box 16-1 lists
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and
their designations for this sector. In TRI, SIC codes
are given as reported by the facilities; these may
differ from information in economic and other data
collections.
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector shipped
products valued at $48.60 billion in 1996, up from
$46.67 billion in 1995 (both in current dollars).
Employment in this sector was just under 400,000
in both years. Miscellaneous manufactures (SIC
code 399) contributed $19.58 billion of the sector's
1996 value of shipments with employment of
179,000. Toys and sporting goods accounted for
$14.75 billion and employed 103,000.
At the four-digit SIC code level, the miscellaneous
manufacturing industries (SIC code 3999) were
associated with the sector's largest amounts of
releases and waste management of TRI chemicals.
This industry shipped products valued at $7.79
billion in 1996, employing 73,000.
The diversity of products in this sector attests to a
diversity of manufacturing processes. The sector's
products include articles made of wood, metal,
plastics, and other materials. Production of such
articles involves processes used in wood finishing,
metal fabrication, plastics products manufacture,
and other relevant operations.

Chapter 16 — TRI Data for Miscellaneous Manufacturing
1996 TRI Data for
Miscellaneous
Manufacturing
Table 16-1 summarizes TRI reporting by the
miscellaneous manufacturing sector for 1996. The
miscellaneous manufacturing sector submitted 766
forms in 1996. Of these, 56 were Form A
certification statements, certifying that a facility's
total annual reportable amount of a TRI chemical
was less than 500 pounds for the year and that the
facility did not manufacture, process, or otherwise
use more than 1 million pounds. (The Form A
certification statement is explained in Chapter 1.)
The miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC
code 3999) submitted 245 forms in 1996, 32.0% of
the sector's total. Ranking second, the
miscellaneous sporting and athletic goods industry
(SIC code 3949) submitted 123 forms (16.1%). The
burial caskets industry (SIC code 3995) submitted
90 forms (11.7%).
The miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC
code 3999) reported the sector's largest amounts of
on-site releases (3.3 million pounds) and total on-
and off-site releases (3.4 million pounds). These
amounts were approximately 34% of the sector's
total on-site releases of 9.4 million pounds and total
on- and off-site releases of 10.3 million pounds.
Industries in SIC code 3999 also reported the
largest amounts of on-site waste management (6.6
million pounds) and total production-related waste
(13.1 million pounds). This represented 26.6% of
the sector's total other on-site waste management
of 24.7 million pounds and 22.7% of the sector's
total production-related waste of 57.6 million
pounds.
For both on-site releases and total on- and off-site
releases, the burial caskets industry (SIC code
3995) ranked second and the miscellaneous
sporting and athletic goods industry (SIC code
3949) ranked third. The burial casket industry
reported 2.4 million pounds of total on- and off-site
releases (23.0% of the sector's total), and the
miscellaneous sporting and athletic goods industry
reported 1.9 million pounds of total on- and off-site
releases (18.8%). More than 95% of each industry's
total releases was reported as on-site releases.
The miscellaneous hard surface floor coverings
industry (SIC code 3996) ranked first in this sector
for off-site releases, reporting 431,000 pounds,
51.3% of the sector's total of 839,000 pounds.
Miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC code
3999) ranked second, with 129,000 pounds
(15.4%), followed by miscellaneous sporting and
athletic goods (SIC code 3949) 91,000 pounds
(10.9%).
For other on-site waste management, the carbon
paper and inked ribbons industry (SIC code 3955)
ranked second (after the miscellaneous
manufacturing industries in SIC code 3999). This
industry reported other on-site waste management
of 5.3 million pounds (21.4% of the total). The
third-largest amount of other on-site waste

Facilities/forms with more than one 4-digit SIC code within SIC code 39 are assigned to the "multiple" category. One facility reported incorrectly under SIC code
3999 for 1996. The correct SIC code is 3499. The incorrectly reported amounts were as follows: 30 pounds of total releases, 3,209,773 pounds of other on-site
waste management, 207,776 pounds of transfers off-site for further waste management and 3,417,119 pounds of total production-related waste. Another facility
incorrectly reported under an invalid SIC code within SIC code 39 for 1996. The correct SIC code is 3714. The incorrectly reported amounts were as follows:
2,738 pounds of total releases, 2,867,591 pounds of other on-site waste management, 2,506,231 pounds of transfers off-site for further waste management and
5,376,558 pounds of total production-related waste. The total production-related waste rank for invalid SIC code within SIC code 39 changes from 4 to 10.

within SIC code 39. For example, a facility might
manufacture both precious-metal jewelry (SIC code
3911) and costume jewelry (SIC code 3961). Such
facilities may report multiple SIC codes on their
TRI forms. (Box 1-5 in Chapter 1 further explains
reporting of multiple SIC codes and its affect on the
analyses presented in the TRI data release.)
Table 16-2 further examines reporting on these
multiple-codes forms in SIC code 39. Of the 15
forms that reported multiple SIC codes within
miscellaneous manufacturing, seven forms reported
the combination of precious-metal jewelry (SIC
code 3911) and jewelers' materials and lapidary
work (SIC code 3915). The multiple-codes forms in
SIC code 39 reported total on- and off-site releases
of 67,000 pounds and total production-related
waste of 159,000 pounds in 1996.
On- and Off-site Releases
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector reported
9.4 million pounds of air emissions in 1996, which
was 91.6% of the sector's total releases. Off-site
releases (transfers to disposal) reported by this
sector totaled 839,000 pounds, or 8.2% of the
sector's total. Other types of releases amounted to
less than 0.5% each of the sector's total on- and
off-site releases. The sector reported no
underground injection. These data appear in Table
16-3. Figure 16-1 illustrates the percentage
distribution of releases reported by this sector.

Miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC code
3999) reported 3.3 million pounds (34.9%) of the
sector's air emissions. Ranking second, the burial
caskets industry (SIC code 3995) reported 2.3
million pounds (24.8%) of air emissions. The
miscellaneous sporting and athletic goods industry
(SIC code 3949) ranked third, reporting 1.8 million
pounds (19.5%). In all three industries, toluene was
reported in the largest amounts (see discussion of
"1996 TRI Data by Chemical," later in this
chapter). One facility in miscellaneous
manufacturing reported 545,000 pounds of air
emissions of toluene. Another facility that
manufactures burial caskets reported emissions of
214,000 pounds of toluene. A sporting goods
facility reported 402,000 pounds of toluene.
The miscellaneous hard surface floor coverings
industry (SIC code 3996) reported the sector's
largest amount of off-site releases (transfers to
disposal). This industry reported 431,000 pounds of
transfers to disposal. One facility in SIC code 3996

reported 329,000 pounds of di-(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate, the chemical accounting for most of the
industry's off-site releases. (As explained in
"Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996," later in this chapter, this
facility has reported large decreases of this
chemical.)
Figure 16-2 shows the distribution of on- and off-
site releases for the industries (four-digit SIC code)
with the sector's largest releases.
Other On-site Waste Management
Two-thirds (67.0%) of the miscellaneous
manufacturing sector's reported other on-site waste
management in 1996 consisted of on-site recycling,
which totaled 16.5 million pounds, as shown in
Table 16-4. The sector reported 3.4 million pounds
of on-site energy recovery and 4.8 million pounds
of on-site treatment, amounting to 13.6% and
19.3%, respectively, of total other on-site waste
management. Figure 16-3 illustrates the percentage
distribution of the sector's other on-site waste
management by type.
The miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC
code 3999) reported 5.2 million pounds of on-site
recycling, 31.5% of the sector's total. However,
this includes an error by one facility that reported
on-site recycling of 3.0 million pounds of zinc
compounds. This facility reported in SIC code 3999
(miscellaneous manufacturing industries), but
should have reported in SIC code 3499
(miscellaneous fabricated metal products). The
sector's next-largest amount of on-site recycling
appeared on the forms with invalid SIC codes in
SIC code 39, also a reporting error. One facility
submitting such forms reported on-site recycling of
1.6 million pounds of copper and 1.1 million
pounds of lead; these forms should have been
reported in SIC code 3714. Taking into account
these reporting errors, the fasteners, buttons,
needles and pins industry (SIC code 3965) would
rank first in this sector for on-site recycling,
reporting 2.8 million pounds. One facility in SIC
code 3965, a zipper manufacturer, reported on-site
recycling of 2.8 million pounds of copper. The
signs and advertising specialties industry (SIC code
3993) would rank second with 2.1 million pounds,
and the miscellaneous sporting and athletic goods
industry (SIC code 3949) would rank third with 1.2
million pounds.
The carbon paper and inked ribbons industry (SIC
code 3955) reported almost all (98.2%) of the
industry's on-site energy recovery, with 3.3 million
pounds. This industry reported combustion for
energy recovery of 2.1 million pounds of methyl
ethyl ketone and 1.1 million pounds of toluene. One
facility accounted for the majority of this reporting
of energy recovery, with 2.0 million pounds of
methyl ethyl ketone and 830,000 pounds of toluene.
Only three other industries in this sector reported
on-site energy recovery in 1996, as shown in
Table 16-4.
The carbon paper and inked ribbons industry (SIC
code 3955) also ranked first in this sector for
reporting of on-site treatment, with 1.7 million
pounds (36.2%). The miscellaneous manufacturing
industries (SIC code 3999) ranked second, with 1.4
million pounds (28.7%). Miscellaneous sporting

Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector reported
17.8 million pounds of transfers to recycling in
1996, which amounted to 83.1% of the sector's
transfers off-site for further waste management.
Transfers to energy recovery totaled 2.5 million
pounds (11.6%). Transfers to treatment and to
POTWs each accounted for 3% or less of the
sector's total transfers off-site for further waste
management, as shown in Table 16-5. Figure 16-5
illustrates the percentage distribution of the
596
miscellaneous manufacturing sector's reported
transfers off-site for further waste management.
The fasteners, buttons, needles, and pins industry
(SIC code 3965) reported transferring 4.9 million
pounds to recycling, including 3.1 million pounds
of copper and 1.7 million pounds of ethylene
glycol. One facility reported transfers to recycling
of 2.5 million pounds of copper. The facility
mentioned above that reported substantial on-site
recycling of copper reported all of the industry's
transfers to recycling of ethylene glycol (1.7
million pounds). The two facilities are owned by
the same parent company. The silverware and
plated ware industry (SIC code 3914) ranked
second for transfers to recycling, with 3.3 million
pounds (18.8%), including 1.7 million pounds of
chromium. One facility in this industry reported
transferring 1.3 million pounds of chromium to
recycling. Forms reporting invalid SIC codes in

1.6 million pounds (16.5% of the sector's total) in
Indiana, 1.2 million pounds (13.0%) in
Pennsylvania, and 548,000 (5.8%) pounds in Puerto
Rico.
Pennsylvania ranked first for off-site releases
(transfers to disposal) reported by the
miscellaneous manufacturing sector, with 348,000

di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. Kentucky and Indiana
followed Pennsylvania with 94,000 pounds (11.2%)
and 89,000 pounds (10.6%), respectively.
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector reported
4.6 million pounds of other on-site waste
management in New York, the state with the largest
amount in this category. Ohio ranked second, with
3.3 million pounds, but this included the forms
submitted erroneously with invalid SIC codes in
SIC code 39, with on-site waste management of 2.9
million pounds. Colorado reported the third-largest
amount, 3.2 million pounds, although this also
included the facility that erroneously reported on-
site recycling of 3.0 million pounds of zinc
compounds in SIC code 3999 instead of in SIC
code 3499. Taking into account the reporting errors
In both states, Ohio would rank 10th and Colorado
would rank last for other on-site waste
management. Pennsylvania would rank second with
2.9 million pounds, and Georgia would rank third
with 2.8 million pounds.
Georgia ranked first for transfers off-site for further
waste management reported by the miscellaneous
manufacturing sector in 1996. The Georgia total
was 4.6 million pounds (21.5%), including one
facility reporting 2.5 million pounds of copper and
another facility (with the same parent company)
reporting 1.7 million pounds of ethylene glycol.
Both forms were for transfers to recycling. New
York ranked second for transfers off-site for further
waste management with 3.7 million pounds
(17.4%). One New York facility reported
transferring 1.3 million pounds of chromium off-
site to recycling. Pennsylvania ranked third with
2.8 million pounds (13.0%).

The sector's production-related waste totaled 8.9
million pounds in New York, 7.6 million pounds in
Pennsylvania, and 7.5 million pounds in Georgia.
These top three states represented 15.4%, 13.2%,
and 13.0%, respectively, of the sector's total
production-related waste.
Map 16-1 illustrates the geographic distribution of
total on- and off-site releases in the miscellaneous

1996 TRI Data by
Chemical for
Miscellaneous
Manufacturing
In 1996, the miscellaneous manufacturing sector
reported larger total on- and off-site releases for
toluene than for any other chemical, 3.2 million
pounds. The sector reported comparable amounts
for the second- and third-ranked chemicals: 1.03
million pounds of methyl ethyl ketone and 1.01
million pounds of xylenes. Air emissions accounted
for 98% or more of the releases reported for these
three chemicals and for 10 others among the top 15.
Table 16-7 presents the top 15 chemicals for total
on- and off-site releases reported by the
miscellaneous manufacturing sector in 1996.
As indicated earlier, three industries in this sector
reported large air emissions of toluene.
Miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC code
3999) reported 1.0 million pounds, including
545,000 pounds by one facility. The burial caskets
industry (SIC code 3995) reported 993,000 pounds,
including 214,000 pounds by one facility. The
miscellaneous sporting and athletic goods industry
(SIC code 3949) reported 718,000 pounds,
including 402,000 pounds by one facility. Toluene
is used in wood finishing and metal cutting
processes that also apply in casket manufacturing.
Production processes that use toluene in the
manufacture of some sporting and athletic goods
are the same as some processes used in the rubber
and plastics sector.
Off-site releases (transfers to disposal) constituted
the majority of the sector's reported releases for
two of the top 15 chemicals: di-(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate (359,000 pounds, mostly by one facility

OSHA Carcinogens
As shown in Table 16-8, the miscellaneous
manufacturing sector reported total releases in 1996
of 2.7 million pounds of chemicals designated as
OSHA carcinogens, or one-fourth (26.0%) of all
releases reported in this sector in 1996. (OSHA
carcinogens and the bases for then: designation
appear in Box 1-9 in Chapter 1.) Reported releases
of OSHA carcinogens amounted to one-fourth
(23.5%) of the sector's total air emissions, but more
than half (54.5%) of all off-site releases (transfers
to disposal) reported by this sector.
Five of the top 15 chemicals for total releases
reported by this sector were OSHA carcinogens.
These were dichloromethane with releases totaling
871,000 pounds, styrene with 861,000 pounds, di-
(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate with 381,000 pounds,
trichloroethylene with 313,000 pounds, and
tetrachloroethylene with 131,000 pounds (see Table
604
16-7). Reported releases of these OSHA
carcinogens consisted almost entirely of air
emissions, except for di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate,
largely reported as off-site releases (transfers to
disposal).
Miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC code
3999) ranked first in this sector for releases of
OSHA carcinogens and reported air emissions of
1.3 million pounds of these chemicals, including
much of the dichloromethane (590,000 pounds) and
styrene (554,000 pounds). The miscellaneous hard
surface floor coverings industry (SIC code 3996)
ranked second with 359,000 pounds of off-site
releases (transfers to disposal). As noted, one
facility in this industry reported transfers to
disposal of 329,000 pounds of di-(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate.
Figure 16-7 shows the on- and off-site releases of
the four-digit SIC codes with the largest OSHA
carcinogen releases.

1996 TRI Chemicals in
Waste for Miscellaneous
Manufacturing
Table 16-9 and Figure 16-8 present waste
management data for all industries in SIC code 39.
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector reported
production-related waste totaling 57.6 million
pounds in 1996. The sector reported 18.5 million
pounds (32.0% of total production-related waste) as
off-site recycling and another 16.5 million pounds
(28.7%) as on-site recycling. Among waste
management options, quantities released on- and
off-site ranked third in this sector with 10.8 million
pounds (18.8% ). Other waste management options
accounted for less than 10% each of the sector's
total production-related waste.
The fasteners, buttons, needles, and pins industry
(SIC code 3965) reported one-fourth (26.3%) of the
sector's off-site recycling, with 4.9 million pounds.
The silverware and plated ware (SIC code 3914)
industry ranked second with 3.3 million pounds
(18.1%), followed by the forms reporting invalid
SIC codes within SIC code 39, explained earlier in
this chapter, with 2.9 million pounds (15.5%).
Forms reporting invalid SIC codes include 2.5
million pounds of off-site recycling reported by the
facility that should have reported in SIC code 3714.
Taking into account this error, the burial caskets
industry (SIC code 3995) would rank third, with 2.2
million pounds.
Miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC code
3999) reported the largest on-site recycling, with
5.2 million pounds (31.5%), but as noted this
included 3.0 million pounds of zinc compounds by
a facility that should have reported in SIC code

on-site recycling when these errors are taken into
account. As noted above, the signs and advertising
specialties industry (SIC code 3993) would rank
second with 2.1 million pounds, and the
miscellaneous sporting and athletic goods industry
(SIC code 3949) would rank third with 1.2 million

1998, the largest projected decrease in both pounds
and percent. The sector also expected a 4.3%
reduction in offcsite recycling, from 18.5 million
pounds to 17.7 million pounds. Together, these two
projected decreases would amount to a reduction of
1.7 million pounds from 1996 to 1998.
A smaller reduction was also projected in off-site
treatment, from 1.2 million pounds to 1.1 million
pounds (a 7.8% decrease). The sector projected
essentially no change in off-site energy recovery.

Figure 16-10. Projected Percentage Change in Quantities of TRI Chemicals in
Waste, 1996-1998: Miscellaneous Manufacturing (SIC Code 39)
Note: Current year and projected year amounts are all taken from Section 8 of Form R for 1996.
The sector projected its largest increase, in pounds
and percent, in on-site energy recovery, from 3.4
million pounds to 4.2 million pounds, or 24.7%.
Increases were also projected in on-site recycling,
from 16.5 million pounds to 16.9 million pounds (a
2.2% increase) and in on-site treatment, from 4.8
million pounds to 5.1 million pounds (a 6.5%
increase). These projected increases would total an
increase of 1.5 million pounds.
Figure 16-10 illustrates the projected percentage
changes in on-site waste management, off-site
waste management, quantities released on- and off-
site, and total production-related waste.
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector's
projections primarily indicate changes in where,
rather than how, the sector expects to manage its
TRI chemicals in waste. The projected data do,
however, represent some potential improvement in
the sector's management of TRI chemicals in
waste. Quantities released would decrease as a
percentage of total production-related waste (from
18.8% in 1996 to 17.3% in 1998, as shown in Table
16-10). Energy recovery (on-site and off-site)
would increase somewhat as a proportion of
production-related waste. In terms of the waste
management hierarchy, explained in Chapter 1,
energy recovery is a more desirable option than
releases for waste that cannot be prevented.
Source Reduction Activity
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector submitted
195 forms that indicated one or more source
reduction activities underway in 1996, as shown in
Table 16-11. These forms represented one-fourth
(25.5%) of all forms submitted by the sector. The
miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC code
3999) submitted 52 of these forms, the largest
number submitted by any industry in this sector.
This number amounted to one-fifth (21.1%) of the
forms submitted in SIC code 3999. The
miscellaneous sporting and athletic goods industry

Year-to-Year
Comparisons for
Miscellaneous
Manufacturing
1995-1996 TRI Data for Miscellaneous
Manufacturing
The number of forms submitted by the
miscellaneous manufacturing sector decreased from
610
813 in 1995 to 766 in 1996, a 5.8% reduction, as
shown in Table 16-12. The sector submitted
relatively few Form As, but these increased 19.1%
from 47 in 1995 to 56 in 1996. (The Form A
certification statement is explained in Chapter 1.)
This may reflect more widespread awareness of the
Form A certification statement in its second year of
availability.
On- and Off-site Releases
Total on- and off-site releases reported by the
miscellaneous manufacturing sector, decreased
25.9%, from 13.9 million pounds in 1995 to 10.3
million pounds in 1996, as shown in Table 16-12.
Approximately two-thirds of the overall 3.6
million-pound reduction was reported in air
emissions. The sector reported a 20.2% reduction in
air emissions, from 11.8 million pounds in 1995 to
9.4 million pounds in 1996. Both fugitive and
point-source emissions decreased, as shown in
Table 16-12. The remaining one-third of the overall
reduction was reported as a decrease in off-site
releases (transfers to disposal), which decreased

waste management code. One facility reported incorrectly under SIC code 39 for 1996. The correct SIC code is 37. The incorrectly reported amounts were
3,209,200 pounds of recycling on-site and 3,209,773 pounds of total other on-site waste management. Another facility incorrectly reported under SIC code 39 for
1995 and 1996. The correct SIC code is 37. The incorrectly reported amounts for 1995 were as follows: 3,270,607 pounds of recycling on-site, 3,270,607 pounds
of total other on-site waste management, 2,602,832 pounds of transfers to recycling and 2,614,809 pounds of total transfers off-site for further waste management.
The incorrectly reported amounts for 1996 were as follows: 2,867,591 pounds of recycling on-site, 2,867,591 pounds of total on-site waste management,
2,490,481 pounds of transfers to recycling and 2,506,231 pounds of total transfers off-site for further waste management. Accounting for these two facility errors,
the percentage change in recycling on-site changes from 22.1% to 1.8%, in total other on-site waste management changes from 11.3% to -14.9%, in transfers to
recycling changes from 11.8% to 14.9% and in total transfers off-site for further waste management changes from 5.6% to 7.1%.

Chapter 16 — TRI Data for Miscellaneous Manufacturing
59.1% from 2.1 million pounds in 1995 to 839,000
pounds in 1996. Much of the reduction in off-site
releases reflects a decrease in off-site releases of di-
(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. One facility in SIC code
3996 (miscellaneous hard surface floor coverings),
mentioned earlier, reported 1.2 million pounds of
off-site releases of this chemical in 1995 and
329,000 pounds in 1996.
The sector reported very small amounts of on-site
releases to surface waters and to land in 1995 and
1996. Increases in these two release types totaled
less than 2,000 pounds.
Figure 16-11 illustrates the percentage change in
on- and off-site releases reported by the
miscellaneous manufacturing sector from 1995 to
1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
The miscellaneous manufacturing sector reported
22.2 million pounds of other on-site waste
management in 1995 and 24.7 million pounds in
1996, as shown in Table 16-12. This constituted an
11.3% increase. The sector reported an increase in
on-site recycling from 13.5 million pounds to 16.5
million pounds, or 22.1%. Most of this increase
consisted of a 2.7 million-pound increase by the
facility, mentioned earlier in this chapter, that
should have reported in SIC code 3499. Without
this reporting error, on-site recycling would show
an increase of 1.8% and total other on-site waste
management would show a decrease of 14.9%. The
miscellaneous manufacturing sector also reported
an increase in on-site energy recovery, from 2.6
million pounds to 3.4 million pounds or 29.4%.
These increases were partly offset by a reduction in
on-site treatment from 6.0 million pounds to 4.8
million pounds, or 20.9%.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
Transfers off-site for further waste management
increased from 20.3 million pounds in 1995 to 21.5
million pounds in 1996, as shown in Table 16-12.
This 5.6% increase reflected an 11.8% increase in
transfers to recycling (from 16.0 million pounds to
17.8 million pounds), partly offset by reductions in
other transfer types. Without the reporting errors
previously mentioned, the increase in total transfers
off-site for further waste management would be
7.1% and the increase in transfers to recycling
would be 14.9%. The sector reported a reduction in
transfers to energy recovery from 2.9 million
pounds in 1995 to 2.5 million pounds in 1996 (a
15.1% reduction). Transfers to treatment decreased
14.2% from 601,000 pounds to 516,000 pounds,
and transfers to POTWs decreased 24.9% from
846,000 pounds to 635,000 pounds.
1988-1996 TRI Data for Miscellaneous
Manufacturing
As explained in Chapter 1, comparisons from the
1988 TRI baseline year to the current year rely on
the list of "core" TRI chemicals that were
reportable, with the same reporting definition, in all
years. These multi-year comparisons also review
only the data elements that were collected in all
years, which excludes from this section any
analysis that distinguishes RCRA subtitle C
landfills from other land releases as well as analysis
based on the types of underground injection wells.
On-site waste management data and transfers off-
site to recycling and to energy recovery have been
collected only since 1991; these data are included,
but cannot be compared across the full 1988-1996
period.
The number of forms reporting miscellaneous
manufacturing SIC codes dropped 24.0% from 867
in 1988 to 659 in 1996, as presented in Table 16-
13. On- and ofNsite releases of the 1988-1996
"core" chemicals decreased by 69.8%, or 22.7
million pounds, and decreases occurred in all
release media, as shown in Figure 16-12.

Injection and On-site Land Releases not required in 1995.
Reductions in air emissions accounted for most of
the overall decrease. The sector reported decreases
from 1988 to 1996 of 80.8% (from 9.1 million
pounds to 1.7 million pounds) in fugitive emissions
and 61.9% (from 19.1 million pounds to 7.3 million
pounds) in point-source emissions. The reduction in
off-site releases (transfers to disposal) amounted to
80.9% (from 4.1 million pounds to 785,000
pounds), again reflecting a decrease in transfers to
disposal of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate by one
facility (see "Facilities with Large Increases and
Decreases in Releases, 1988-1996," below).
The sector reported small amounts of surface water
discharges, underground injection, and on-site land
releases, all with reductions from 1988 to 1996.
On-site waste management and transfers off-site for
recycling or energy recovery were not collected in
1988. For the 1994-1996 period, other on-site waste
management activities reported by the
miscellaneous manufacturing sector showed an
increase of 566,000 pounds, from 23.3 million
pounds to 23.9 million pounds. These data also
appear in Table 16-13. The sector reported an
increase from 2.2 million pounds to 3.4 million
pounds in on-site energy recovery. Amounts
reported for on-site recycling decreased from 16.8
million pounds to 16.2 million pounds. However,
on-site recycling amounts for 1994 to 1996 include
an increase from zero pounds to 3.2 million pounds
by the facility that reported SIC code 3999 in error
(instead of SIC code 3499). The sector also
reported a small reduction in on-site treatment in
1996.

On-site Releases from Section 5 of Form R and Off-site Releases from Section 6 (transfers off-site to disposal) of Form R. Breakdown of Underground Injection
and On-site Land Releases not required before 1996.
For the full 1988-1996 comparison period, the
miscellaneous manufacturing sector reported a
reduction in transfers to treatment from 5.1 million
pounds to 490,000 pounds. Transfers to POTWs
increased from 1988 to 1996, although the reported
amounts represented a decrease in the more recent
years (1994 to 1996), as shown in Table 16-13.
1988-1996 Data for Four-Digit Industries in
Miscellaneous Manufacturing
Tables 16-14 through 16-16 summarize data for
1988 and 1994-1996 for industries at the four-digit
SIC code level within SIC code 39. The tables
present, respectively, on- and off-site releases,
other on-site waste management, and transfers off-
site for further waste management.
On- and Off-site Releases
The miscellaneous hard surface floor coverings
industry (SIC code 3996) reported the sector's
largest decrease in on- and off-site releases from
1988 to 1996. This industry reported 6.4 million
pounds of total releases in 1988 and 559,000
pounds in 1996. The miscellaneous manufacturing
industries (SIC code 3999) ranked second, with a
reduction from 7.6 million pounds to 3.3 million
pounds. Ranking third, the miscellaneous sporting
and athletic goods industry (SIC code 3949)
reported 4.5 million pounds in 1988 and 1.7 million
pounds in 1996. In all three industries, the largest
portion of the reported reduction occurred in air
emissions, along with a smaller reduction in off-site
releases (transfers to disposal).
615
-------
Chapter 16 — TRI Data for Miscellaneous Manufacturing
The burial caskets industry (SIC code 3995) ranked
first for increases in total releases. This industry
reported 2.3 million pounds in 1988 and 2.4 million
pounds in 1996. The marking devices industry (SIC
code 3953) reported the second-largest increase,
from 34,000 pounds to 51,000 pounds, although
this industry reported reductions from 1994 to
1996. The lead pencils and art goods industry (SIC
code 3952) ranked third, with a small increase from
21,300 pounds to 21,500 pounds. In all three
industries, an increase in air emissions was partly
offset by a decrease in off-site releases (transfers to
disposal). No other industry in SIC code 39
reported an increase in total releases from 1988 to
1996.
Table 16-14 provides release data for all four-digit
SIC codes in the miscellaneous manufacturing
sector, for 1988-1996.
Other On-site Waste Management
The miscellaneous hard surface floor coverings
industry (SIC code 3996) reported 6.4 million
pounds of other on-site waste management in 1994
and 1.2 million pounds in 1996, the sector's largest
reduction (on-site waste management data were not
collected in 1988). The musical instruments
industry (SIC code 3931) reported the second-
largest decrease, from 1.5 million pounds to
989,000 pounds. In these two industries, reductions
reported in on-site recycling accounted for most or
all of the overall decrease. The pens and
mechanical pencils industry (SIC code 3951)
ranked third for decreases, with a reduction from
62,000 pounds to 42,000 pounds. In this industry,
on-site treatment along with on-site energy
recovery accounted for the decrease.
The miscellaneous manufacturing industries (SIC
code 3999) ranked first for increases, with 1.9
million pounds in 1994 and 6.2 million pounds in
1996. On-site recycling was the principal
component of this increase, but this included a
reporting error of 3.2 million pounds by the facility
that should have reported in SIC code 3499.
Without this error, the miscellaneous
manufacturing industries (SIC code 3999) would
rank second, behind the carbon paper and inked
ribbons industry (SIC code 3955), which reported
3.8 million pounds in 1994 and 5.3 million pounds
in 1996. In this industry, on-site energy recovery
accounted for the largest portion of the increase.
Ranking third, the fasteners, buttons, needles, and
pins (SIC code 3965) reported an increase from 2.1
million pounds to 2.8 million pounds. This increase
was attributable to on-site recycling.
On-site waste management data for 1994-1996
appear in Table 16-15.
Transfers Off-site for Further Waste
Management
The silverware and plated ware industry (SIC code
3914) reported the sector's largest reduction in
transfers off-site for further waste management,
from 4.0 million pounds in 1994 to 3.4 million
pounds in 1996 (data for some types of ofi>site
transfers were not collected in 1988). However, this
industry's 1995 level was lower (2.7 million
pounds) than its 1996 total. The miscellaneous
sporting and athletic goods industry (SIC code
3949) ranked second, reporting 1.3 million pounds
in 1994 and 812,000 pounds in 1996. For both
industries, the largest portion of the reduction was
reported in transfers to recycling. The
miscellaneous hard surface floor coverings industry
(SIC code 3996) ranked third with a reduction from
821,000 pounds to 663,000 pounds. For this
industry, transfers to POTWs and transfers to
energy recovery showed the largest reductions.
The carbon paper and inked ribbons industry (SIC
code 3955) ranked first for increases in the
miscellaneous manufacturing sector's reporting of
transfers off-site for further waste management.
This industry reported 504,000 pounds in 1994 and
764,000 pounds in 1996. The signs and advertising
specialties industry (SIC code 3993) ranked second,
reporting 825,000 pounds in 1994 and 990,000

Chapter 16 — TRI Data for Miscellaneous Manufacturing
pounds in 1996. The miscellaneous manufacturing
industries (SIC code 3999) reported the third-
largest increase, from 2.8 million pounds to 3.0
million pounds, although this included the facility
that reported in SIC code 3999 in error. Without
this facility, the miscellaneous manufacturing
industries would show a small decrease. For all
three industries, the increase was attributable to
transfers to recycling.
Table 16-16 presents transfers off-site for further
waste management reported by the miscellaneous
manufacturing sector for 1988 to 1996.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Releases, 1988-1996
Coatings Incorporated & Company in Bayamon,
Puerto Rico (SIC code 3999), had the largest
increase in releases with 545,000 pounds. Point-
source air emissions of toluene in 1996 accounted
for 100% of the increase. No data were reported for
toluene in 1988. The facility could not be reached
for comment. See also "Facilities with Large
Increases and Decreases in Waste Management,
1991-1996."
Pre Con, Inc., in Petersburg, Virginia (did not
report in 1988, SIC code 3999 in 1996), ranked
second with a 515,000 pound increase. This facility
did not go into operation until 1992.
Dichloromethane, used as a solvent in the
production of a laminated web, accounted for 71%
of the increase.
Batesville Casket Company, Inc., in Batesville,
Mississippi (did not report in 1988, SIC code 3995
in 1996), was the third-ranked facility for increases
with 246,000 pounds. The casket manufacturing
plant started production in late 1988 and did not
exceed the reporting threshold for any TRI
chemical in that year. Xylene (mixed isomers)
accounted for 46% of reported releases in 1996
and, therefore, 46% of the facility's increase. The
1996 xylene (mixed isomers) releases were
reported as fugitive and point-source air emissions.
The chemical is a constituent of wood stain.
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania (SIC code 3996), ranked first in
decreases of releases with 3.2 million pounds. This
facility produces vinyl tile and vinyl sheet flooring
for home and commercial applications. Di-(2-
ethylhexyl) phthalate was used as a plasticizer in
production processes and was gradually replaced by
another, unlisted, phthalate ester. Most di-(2-
ethylhexyl) phthalate releases were reported under
the category transfers off-site for disposal. The
facility sent scrap material to off-site landfills. Di-
(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was eliminated from use
following the 1996 reporting year, according to the
facility contact.
Congoleum Corporation in Marcus Hook,
Pennsylvania (SIC code 3996), was second in
decreases with a 2.4 million-pound reduction. A
manufacturer of vinyl sheet flooring, this facility
phased out the usage of 1,1,1-trichloroethane as a
solvent in a printing operation. This was achieved
by reformulating the solvent. No data were reported
for the chemical in 1996.
Kurz-Hastings, Inc., in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
(SIC code 3999), ranked third in decreases with 1.0
million pounds. The reduction was partly the result
of improving systems for capturing solvent fumes.
Fugitive air emissions of toluene accounted for
100% of the reduction. There were no reported
fugitive emissions of toluene in 1996. The chemical
is used in a solvent transfer system in the
production of a wood-grain laminate product.

Other Apparent Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996
In the TRI database, there are other facilities with
large apparent increases and decreases, which have
been identified as reporting errors or plant closures.
Because these are errors or plant closures and not
actual changes in the data, these facilities are not
discussed in detail here. There is one such facility
in the miscellaneous manufacturing sector:
NER Data Products, Inc., Des Moines, Iowa,
decrease of 1.4 million pounds, plant closure.
1991-1996 Waste Management Data
for Miscellaneous Manufacturing
Table 16-17 summarizes on- and off-site waste
management data for the miscellaneous
manufacturing sector for 1991, when TRI began
collecting this information, and the three most
recent years (1994-1996). The sector reported a
6.3% reduction in total production-related waste
from 59.8 million pounds in 1991 to 56.0 million
pounds in 1996. Without the facility reporting
errors described in this chapter, the sector's
reduction in total production-related waste would
be 21.1%.
The sector recorded its largest reduction (in
pounds) in quantities released, which decreased
from 20.8 million pounds in 1991 to 10.3 million
pounds in 1996. This represented a 50.4%
reduction. The largest percentage decrease occurred
in reporting of on-site treatment, a 58.7% reduction
from 10.5 million pounds in 1991 to 4.3 million
pounds in 1996. Decreases were also reported in
off-site treatment (from 1.5 million pounds to
796,000 pounds) and in off-site energy recovery
(from 2.6 million pounds to 2.5 million pounds).

These represented reductions of 47.1% and 3.2%,
respectively.
The sector reported a 47.0% increase in off-site
recycling, from 12.6 million pounds in 1991 to 18.4
million pounds in 1996. Amounts reported for on-
site recycling increased 37.3% from 11.8 million
pounds to 16.3 million pounds. Increases in both
on-site and off-site recycling reflect reporting errors
previously mentioned. Without those errors, the
sector's off-site recycling would show an increase
of 27.1% and the sector's on-site recycling would
show a decrease of 14.0%.
The sector's reporting of on-site energy recovery
increased from 76,000 pounds in 1991 to 3.4
million pounds in 1996, which amounted to a
percentage increase of more than 4,300%.
Figure 16-13 illustrates the percentage changes
fror/i 1991 to 1996 in the sector's reporting of total
production-related waste by waste management
type.
Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases
in Waste Management, 1991-1996
YKK USA in Macon, Georgia (SIC codes 3964 and
3965 in 1991 and 3965 in 1996), ranked first in
increases of waste managed with 1.9 million
pounds. The zipper manufacturer reported a 1.6
million-pound increase in on-site recycling of
copper between the comparison years. No
information was provided on the reason for the
increase before this publication's deadline.
Coatings Incorporated & Company in Bayamon,
Puerto Rico (SIC code 3999), was second with an
overall 1.23 million-pound increase. Toluene
reporting accounted for 100% of the increase. The
facility could not be reached for comment. See also
"Facilities with Large Increases and Decreases in
Releases, 1988-1996."
Batesville Casket Company in Batesville, Indiana
(SIC code 3995), was the third-ranked increaser in
waste managed with 1.21 million pounds. This
plant stamps metal components used in casket
production. A reported increase in off-site recycling
of copper was responsible for 61% of the overall
increase. According to the facility contact, the
increase is largely due to a change in the
Note [Continued From Table 16-17]: The incorrectly reported amounts were as follows: 3,209,200 pounds of recycling on-site, 3,209,773 pounds of other on-
sttc waste management and 3,417,119 pounds of total production-related waste. Another facility incorrectly reported under SIC code 39 for 1994,1995 and 1996.
The correct SIC code is 37. The incorrectly reported amounts for 1994 were as follows: 3,496,860 pounds of recycling on-site, 3,496,860 pounds of total on-site
waste management, 2,591,830 pounds of recycling off-site and 6,102,905 pounds of total production-related waste. The incorrectly reported amounts for 1995 were

which was responsible for 40% of the overall
reduction in waste management reporting, was
primarily reported in on-site recycling. The
decrease is the result of a process change,
according to the facility contact.
Yamaha Musical Products, Inc., in Grand Rapids,
Michigan (SIC code 3931), was third with a 1.4
million-pound decrease. This facility is the site of
brass and woodwind musical instrument
production. Elimination of trichloroethylene as a
degreasing agent resulted in 100% of this facility's
reduction. An aqueous cleaning system replaced the
solvent degreasing operation.

APPENDIX B
TRI FORM R AND FORM A FOR 1996
Facilities reporting to the Toxics Release
Inventory submit their information on TRI's Form
R. If a facility's total annual reportable amount of
a chemical does not exceed 500 pounds, and the
facility does not manufacture, process, or
otherwise use more than 1 million pounds of the
chemical, it may submit a Form A certification
statement. (Form A certification statement
reporting is further explained in Chapter 1.) This
appendix supplies copies of the Form R and Form
A certification statement for the 1996 reporting
year.
FORM R
The 1996 Form R is divided into two parts:
Part I, Facility Identification Information, contains
information on such matters as name, address,
parent company information, and contact names
and phone numbers for the facility.
Part n, Chemical-Specific Information, contains
information such as chemical identity, facility
activities and uses of the chemical, amounts of on-
and off-site releases and transfers off-site for
further waste management, on-site waste
treatment methods and efficiencies, on- and off-
site waste management quantities, and
information on source reduction and recycling
activities.
FORM A CERTIFICATION
STATEMENT
The 1996 Form A certification statement consists
of facility identification information and chemical
identification, as in Form R. Facilities do not
report on the Form A certification statement
amounts or other information about their use,
releases, or waste management of the chemical.
Readers who are interested in a more in-depth
understanding of who is required to report to TRI
and how to fill out the forms, should refer to the
EPCRA Information Hotline at 1-800-424-9346.
Reporting software, forms, and instructions for
the current reporting year are available from
EPA's Web site at: http://www.epa.gov/
opptintr/tri/report.htm.
