Toxicity Credit LCA

Heritage Environmental Services (HES) is in the business of eliminating industrial waste and we have been making a difference for our clients since our beginning in the 1970’s. A privately owned business headquartered in Indianapolis, we take pride in solving complex problems by offering a wide array of tailored solutions, from waste disposal, on-site support, and technical solutions to emergency response, and sustainability services.

While the current sustainability landscape focuses on carbon reduction and carbon credits, the waste industry does not receive proper recognition for diverting wastes from the environment and disposing of wastes in a manner conducive to the environment and the public. In addition, customers have asked about their impact on the environment and how HES is reducing their overall impact by disposing their wastes. HES would like to continue with the EPA TRACI framework established by prior EEE seniors and conduct Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs) on common wastestreams HES treats to validate the efficacy of the TRACI tool. A LCA assessment framework will be used to determine boundaries, explore different inputs needed, and determine the benefits/limitations of TRACI.
