SHOWCASING SUSTAINABILITY IN YOUR TRI REPORT
On June 6, 2012, the TRI Program held a webinar focused on the pollution prevention (P2) section of the TRI Reporting Form R. View the webinar materials and learn how your facility can take advantage of the opportunity to report and describe pollution prevention activities and other environmentally-friendly practices related to listed toxic chemicals. The webinar includes an overview of TRI P2 reporting requirements, tips for completing the P2 section of the Form R, a discussion of how EPA uses the P2 information collected under TRI, and perspectives on TRI and sustainability from EPA's Pollution Prevention Program.
