TRI Emissions Trends
As part of SOCMA members’ commitment to environmental performance, emissions data is reported on a yearly basis to the Environmental Protection Agency. This information includes releases to the air, land and water, is reviewed by the agency and compiled in its toxic release inventory (TRI) database. SOCMA collects this data for all three Tier levels of ChemStewards®.

SOCMA member companies are engaged in the production of specialty batch chemistry that ultimately leads to a wide variety of products. SOCMA member facilities range in size from a dozen employees to several thousand employees.

*The data below has been collected from the USEPA public website and has a 3 year lag. SOCMA members do not report this data directly to SOCMA.

ChemStewards®


What Members Are Saying…

“When you are in the custom manufacturing business like we are, ChemStewards® makes a really big difference as you go through a customer audit.  If you don’t have a comprehensive program like this in place you often can’t get your foot in the door.  In fact, we had a customer tell us we got his business because he learned that we received an award from SOCMA for our program.”
