| Description: | All secondary materials (e.g., process solvents from agricultural chemical manufacturing process and automotive paint manufacturing process) must be returned to the production process to qualify for the closed-loop recycling exclusion. A process which returns 80% of xylene and sends 20% of recovered xylene off as product does not qualify. Production process includes activities that tie directly into the manufacturing operation or are the primary operation at a facility. |
