Michelin Na Inc has reported 17.3K lbs of toxic releases across 3 chemicals to the EPA Toxic Release Inventory, based on annual facility disclosures from 2019 through 2023. Of the chemicals reported, 2 are classified as carcinogens, representing 67% of the facility's chemical profile. The facility operates in the Plastics and Rubber sector. The primary release pathway is off-site transfers, accounting for 90% of total releases. All release data shown below is self-reported to the EPA under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Section 313.
Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 1,504 Plastics and Rubber facilities in this database, Michelin Na Inc reports the 713th-largest volume (17.3K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Zinc compounds alone is 98.6% 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.
Michelin Na Inc files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 326211 (Plastics and Rubber). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 17.3K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 3 distinct chemicals, 2 of which (67%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Zinc compounds; Cobalt compounds; Cobalt And Cobalt Compounds.
The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 15.6K lbs (90.2% of total volume), followed by water discharges at 5.0%. Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals decreased by 99% - from 12.9K lbs to 173 lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Michelin N.a. Inc alongside American Synthetic Rubber Co; Michelin N.a. Inc. Ardmore Plant; Michelin Na Inc-Sandy Springs; Camso Manufacturing USA Ltd. (emporia Division). Nearest other TRI reporters: Dunbarton Corp Rediframe Div; Apec; Covenant Steel Warehouse; Wayne-Sanderson Farms LLC - Dothan Fresh Plant. Similar-scale peers outside Alabama: American Composites Engineering Inc; Grt Rubber Technologies LLC; Danfoss Power Solutions II LLC; Duna USA Inc.
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 Michelin Na Inc has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Dunbarton Corp Rediframe Div 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, Cobalt compounds, Cobalt And Cobalt Compounds; nearby reporters include Dunbarton Corp Rediframe Div. "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.
