Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 1,504 Plastics and Rubber facilities in this database, Hexpol Muscle Shoals reports the 829th-largest volume (8.3K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Zinc compounds alone is 100% of the total.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.
Hexpol Muscle Shoals files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 326299 (Plastics and Rubber). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 8.3K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 1 distinct chemical. Largest chemicals by pounds: Zinc compounds.
The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 8.3K lbs (100.0% of total volume). Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals decreased by 25% - from 1.7K lbs to 1.3K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Hexpol Holdings Inc alongside Hexpol Compounding Burton Rubber Processing; Hexpol - Tallapoosa; Hexpol - Barberton; Hexpol Long Beach. Nearest other TRI reporters: Flexco Corp; Great Southern Wood - Tuscumbia Inc.; Mid-South Central Extrusion Die; U.S. Tva Muscle Shoals. Similar-scale peers outside Alabama: Ox Engineered Products; Michelin Na Inc US10; Brc Rubber& Plastics Inc; Ahf Products Lancaster Facility.
TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that Hexpol Muscle Shoals has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Flexco Corp for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.

About TRI Data
Data as of 2023 reporting year. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory.
Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts are required to report annually to the EPA.
On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Zinc compounds; nearby reporters include Flexco Corp. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
