EPA’s Performance Track Achievements

EPA recently released its 6th Annual Progress Report for the National Environmental Performance Track program. Results show that since its inception in 2000, members have collectively saved enough energy to power 46,000 homes for one year, enough greenhouse gases to offset the annual emissions of 57,000 cars, and prevented solid waste equivalent to that produced by 553,000 households yearly.

To date, the combined environmental efforts of all Performance Track member facilities have resulted in significant cumulative savings, including:

• Reductions of greenhouse gas emissions by 309,780 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent
• Increases in use of recycled materials for production processes by 559,991 tons
• Reductions in water consumption of 5.2 billion gallons
