Waste Management This section includes information on hazardous wastes and on TRI chemicals managed as waste. 13 EPA emphasizes reducing waste generation whenever possible and, if waste is generated, minimizing the quantity that is released or disposed by instead increasing recycling, energy recovery, or treatment. TRI includes the volume of the toxic chemicals within a waste stream, while Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) reporting on hazardous wastes encompasses the volume of the entire waste or waste stream that meets the definition of RCRA hazardous waste. See individual sector chapters for explanations of apparent spikes and trends. Hazardous Waste Generated and Managed 2005 Hazardous Waste Generated (Tons) Hazardous Waste Managed (Tons) Sectors in this Report 30,557,598 32,993,131 U.S. Total 38,350,145 42,825,913 Sectors in this Report as a Percentage of the U.S. Total Sector 80% 77% Cement Manufacturing 17,195 30,641 Chemical Manufacturing 23,861,975 26,138,338 Colleges & Universities 26,158 23,544 Construction 17,058 16,437 Food & Beverage Manufacturing 3,071 2,367 Forest Products 135,541 396,336 Iron & Steel 1,395,650 1,269,594 Metal Casting 30,274 28,210 Oil & Gas (Petroleum Refining) 5,063,461 5,081,593 Paint & Coatings 145,832 147,595 Shipbuilding & Ship Repair 7,214 6,071 States also may provide useful information. See information from several states about recycling construction and demolition debris, in the Construction chapter. When government data are unavailable, information from private organizations may be useful, such as the American Association of Port Authorities’ survey cited in the Ports chapter. When no data are available, we sometimes assist in preparing tools for generating future data. As discussed in the Shipbuilding & Ship Repair chapter, we are working with the American Shipbuilding Association and the Shipbuilders Council of America to develop a tool for individual facilities to measure their GHG emissions, which could enable those groups to provide better data on the sector’s overall GHG emissions in the future.

Where data are incomplete, inadequate, or unavailable, we try to fill the gaps to provide a more complete picture. We determine what needs to be measured, what is already measured, and how to find—or create appropriate surrogates for—remaining needed information. See, for example, the discussion of GHG emissions in the Construction chapter, which draws upon DOE fuel sales data. 2008 SECTOR PERFORMANCE REPORT Executive Summary 7
