Toxic Reduction Act Services (O.Reg 455/09) |
The Toxics Reduction Act (TRA) applies to the approximately 2,000 facilities in Ontario where manufacturing activities or mineral processing activities take place involving any of the substances listed in the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) Notice. The TRA focuses on reducing the front-end production of toxic substances in the manufacturing process.
ORTECH would be pleased to help clients get ready, assemble the reporting and develop reduction plan.

The regulation requires companies to:
• Track and quantify the toxic substances used in their manufacturing process,
• Develop plans,
• Make summaries of their plans available to the public, and
• Provide progress reports to the MOE and make certain information available to the public.
The TRA requires selective Ontario manufacturers to report 2010 toxic substances and to generate toxic
substance plans by December 2012. The Ministry of the Environment’s (MOE) goal is to reduce the creation,
use, release and/or off-site transfer of toxic substances and to encourage greener alternatives, including
new technologies.
