Potential emissions to air, water and land
remained significantly low. The survey results
report 0.6 g/t potential emissions to air showing a
drop of 40% compared to the previous year.
Reporting potential emissions to water were
0.01 g/t. Since 2011, potential emissions to land
have been reduced to zero; this was maintained
throughout 2012 and 2013.
This demonstrates the dedication of participating
sites that have continuously reduced potential
emissions of TBBPA since the beginning of the
programme.
Results from the 2013 survey show that as with
other products 100% of the empty packaging of
TBBPA sold was responsibly disposed of, either
through incineration or sent to controlled landfill
sites, as demonstrated in figure 16.
