Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Sabic Innovative Plastics US LLC reports the 123rd-largest volume, placing it in the top 3.1% of its sector. This one site accounts for 100% of every pound reported in Lowndes. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Phenol alone is 64.1% 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.
Sabic Innovative Plastics US LLC files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 325211 (Chemicals). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 2.9M lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 16 distinct chemicals, 3 of which (19%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Phenol; Dichloromethane; Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution); 4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenol.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 1.6M lbs (54.4% of total volume), followed by off-site transfers at 39.0%. Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals decreased by 68% - from 1.1M lbs to 351.5K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Sabic US Holdings LP alongside Sabic Innovative Plastics Mt. Vernon LLC; Shpp US LLC; Sabic Innovative Plastics US LLC; Sabic Innovative Plastics US LLC. Nearest other TRI reporters: Feldmeier/alabama Equipment Inc; Hyundai Mobis; Mplx Terminals LLC - Montgomery Al Terminal; Sherman Industries - Prattville Plant. Similar-scale peers outside Alabama: 3M Chemical Operations' Cottage Grove Facility; Huntsman International LLC; Taminco US LLC; Monument Chemical Port Arthur LLC.
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 Sabic Innovative Plastics US LLC has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Feldmeier/alabama Equipment Inc 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 Phenol, Dichloromethane, Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution), 4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenol; nearby reporters include Feldmeier/alabama Equipment Inc. "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.
