2010/2015 PFOA Stewardship Program - 2014 Annual Progress Reports
Background
As part of their commitment to the 2010/2015 PFOA Stewardship Program, the eight participating companies agreed to submit annual progress reports on their reductions of PFOA, PFOA precursors and higher homologues in facility emissions and product content. Annual reports are due by October 31, for years 2007 through 2015. Progress is being measured against the baseline data submitted in October of 2006.
EPA's Summary Tables for 2014 Company Progress Reports
EPA has summarized the data from progress reports submitted by all the participating companies in their public reports in the four tables that appear below. Additional information may be obtained by viewing the specific company reports above. Download the 2014 Summary Tables.
Contents of Tables 1-4
Data for manufacturing sites in the U.S., and for products manufactured in the U.S. Data for manufacturing sites located outside the U.S., and for products manufactured outside the U.S. Actual emissions and product content Percent reduction in emissions and product content
