Prototype Concepts Inc: Styrene-led volume
Among the 1,504 Plastics and Rubber facilities in this database, Prototype Concepts Inc reports the 912th-largest volume (4.3K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Styrene alone is 100% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 100% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count. Scale peers outside Nevada include Dadi Bathware and Westlake Royal Building Products Inc - Plant 1.
Concentrated means ≥60% of Prototype Concepts Inc's pounds in one chemical - here Styrene at 100%. Not a toxicity score.
