Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 1,603 Primary Metals facilities in this database, Me Global Inc. reports the 666th-largest volume (17.1K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Methanol alone is 79.0% 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.
Me Global Inc. files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 331513 (Primary Metals). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 17.1K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 10 distinct chemicals, 4 of which (40%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Methanol; Manganese And Manganese Compounds; Chromium and Chromium Compounds(except for chromite ore mined in the Transvaal Region); Manganese compounds.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 13.9K lbs (81.1% of total volume), followed by off-site transfers at 18.9%. Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals increased by 16% - from 3.3K lbs to 3.9K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Me Global Inc alongside Me Global Inc. Nearest other TRI reporters: Paradigm Precision Holdings LLC; Cemex - Maricopa Plant; Advanced Turbine Components Manufacturing; Safeway Tempe Milk Plant. Similar-scale peers outside Arizona: Omaha Steel Castings Co LLC; Luvata Appleton LLC; Vermont Foundry Co; Kent Foundry.
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 Me Global Inc. has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Paradigm Precision Holdings LLC 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 Methanol, Manganese And Manganese Compounds, Chromium and Chromium Compounds(except for chromite ore mined in the Transvaal Region), Manganese compounds; nearby reporters include Paradigm Precision Holdings LLC. "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.
