Toxic Reduction Act Now In Effect – Free Webinar February 8

Toxic Reduction Act Now In Effect

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) introduced the Toxics Reduction Act last year. The Act and associated Ontario Reg. 455/09 require that manufacturers within NAICS codes 31, 32 and 33 as well as mineral processing facilities within NAICS code 212 develop toxic reduction plans and submit annual toxic substance reduction reports to the Ministry of the Environment and the public via the Internet.

Toxic Reduction Act Compliance Software

Binary Oak has developed secure web-based software, in ongoing consultation with MOE, in order to dramatically reduce the time and complexity of submitting your annual public and MOE reports, as well as planning and records management. This software is being currently tested by 30 Ontario manufacturing facilities who participated in Cleaner and Greener Manufacturing workshops delivered by last fall by CME, OCETA and Binary Oak.

Software benefits include:

  1. No need to take the time to interpret the Act and Regulation;
  2. Simple sharing of information in the event of a MOE physical site visit;
  3. Eliminate the risk of sharing confidential and competitive information.

Features include:

  1. Software updates as regulatory requirements change;
  2. Provides precisely what information is required to collect and report;
  3. Deficiency report;
  4. No installation or maintenance;
  5. Toxics accounting worksheet and samples;
  6. Optional mentoring support, web based training and public report hosting.
