Refresco is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in Greer, SC, in the beverages sector. It reported 14.9K lbs of releases across 2 chemicals in 2023, and 16.7K lbs in total across its 2020-2023 reporting years. That ranks 8,656 of 25,986 TRI facilities nationwide by cumulative reported pounds, counting each facility over however many years it has filed. In South Carolina's 574 reporting TRI sites, pounds #1 is not chemical-count #1. Refresco is pounds #255 and chemical-count #311 at 16.7K lbs. Oceanagold Haile Gold Mine leads reported pounds (30.2M lbs) at 19 chemicals (chemical-count #14). Giant Cement Co leads chemical count at 90 chemicals (53.3K lbs, pounds #185). Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk. Nearest other TRI reporters: Mitsubishi Chemical America Inc.; Honeywell Aerospace Greer; Greif - Taylors Paperboard Mill; Metal Chem Inc. Similar-scale Beverages peers outside South Carolina: Svc Manufacturing; Reddy Ice-Davie (439); Blues City Brewery; Nor-Cal Beverage Co Inc. Largest disclosed chemicals by pounds: Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution); Nitric acid.
Refresco stamps LIGHT volume with a dominant OFFSITE pathway (100.0% off-site transfers) across 2 chemicals. Cumulative Form-R extract: 16.7K lbs (2020–2023). All figures are self-reported EPCRA §313 estimates, not measured stack emissions or a health-risk score. Scale peers include Svc Manufacturing and Reddy Ice-Davie (439).
