The Sector Strategies Program:
• Seeks industry-wide environmental gains through innovative actions taken with a number of manufacturing and service sectors.
• A voluntary effort with select trade associations, EPA programs and regions, states, and others to find sensible solutions to sector-specific problems.

Sector Measurement Approach:
• strategy developed in partnership with industry
• track a core set of indicators over time
• include unique sector-specific data
• data is “Normalized ” - a common base for comparing environmental data over time by adjusting for year-to-year changes in industry size or production.
• no imposed industry-specific targets
• inform as well as track

Environmental footprint of our sectors
• 32% of TRI releases
• 18% of hazardous waste generated
• 33% of criteria air pollutant emissions from point sources
• 20% of energy consumption

… & some unique sector-specific data
![Page 12: Measurement and Targeting – Design and Implement Programs to Track Results and Accountability](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814976550346895db6c262/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
three related charts – provide context and a progressively focused look at a sector’s TRI releases and waste management activities.
TRI Data Example:Paint & Coatings
![Page 13: Measurement and Targeting – Design and Implement Programs to Track Results and Accountability](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814976550346895db6c262/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. TRI Waste Management
- larger pie chart – overall % for releases, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling.
- smaller pie chart - details the “releases” slice of the large pie chart, showing the percentages released to air, water, and disposed.
TRI Data Example:Paint & Coatings
![Page 14: Measurement and Targeting – Design and Implement Programs to Track Results and Accountability](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814976550346895db6c262/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2. Total TRI Disposal or Other Releases
- trends from 1994 - 2003
- top line = total releases (including disposal), bottom line = releases to air and water
-data normalized by annual value of shipments
TRI Data Example:Paint & Coatings
![Page 15: Measurement and Targeting – Design and Implement Programs to Track Results and Accountability](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814976550346895db6c262/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. TRI Air and Water Releases
- trends from 1994 - 2003
- blue line = releases in pounds to air and water, green line = toxicity-weighted results for those releases
- scale in pounds line is located on the left side of the chart
- scale for toxicity-weighted line on the right
- data normalized by annual value of shipments
TRI Data Example:Paint & Coatings
![Page 16: Measurement and Targeting – Design and Implement Programs to Track Results and Accountability](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814976550346895db6c262/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TRI Data Example:Paint & Coatings
Applying Toxicity Weights to TRI Data – A Basic (VERY) Overview:- Toxicity – the inherent ability of a chemical to cause harm – varies greatly.
- EPA’s Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) tool calculates a toxicity weighted score (“hazard-based”) = pounds of air or water releases X a toxicity weight specific to the chemical and exposure route.
- toxicity weights increase as the toxicological potential to cause chronic human health effects increases.
- alternative perspective to the typical pounds-based presentation.
- does NOT identify “risk” - that relies on additional information (i.e. fate and transport of the chemical in the environment after release,pathway of human exposure, number of people exposed).

4. Top Toxicity-Weighted TRI Chemicals
- chemicals that accounted for 90%of the sector’s total toxicity-weightedresults in 2003
- separate columns for Air and Water releases
- identifies opportunities for source reduction or chemical substitution

Sector Measurement Challenges
Practical
• Limits of data base content
• Major reporting systems not static
• Toxicity-weighting tool – judicious use
• Need to educate sectors about data sources and environmental footprint.
• Assist sectors in defining a measurement strategy
• Attribution – contributions of voluntary programs not easily recognized in PART or GPRA structure.

Sector Measurement Challenges
Strategic – Influencing Change
• EPA regulations
• Sector stewardship initiatives
