🚨 The July 1, 2026 Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reporting deadline is approaching.🚨

TRI reporting can quickly become complex with changing thresholds, exemptions, and chemical-specific requirements coming from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Common challenges include PBTs like lead and mercury, expanding PFAS reporting requirements, and exemptions that may not apply as expected.

Even overlooked materials like lead solder or lead in aluminum can trigger reporting obligations!

Our latest article, authored by EHS Practice Lead Robin Miller, CHMM, breaks down key considerations to help facilities report with confidence: https://www.bbjgroup.com/blog/getting-prepared-for-toxic-release-inventory-reporting

TRI reporting doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Get ahead of the upcoming 2026 deadline with guidance on thresholds, exemptions, and pitfalls.
