The process-intensive petrochemical industry has demanding environmental management challenges. In addition, new regulatory requirements and programs such as Title V certification requirements in the U.S., NPRI compliance in Canada, and IPPC and EU ETS in Europe, require more effective environmental management than ever before. While environmental regulations are becoming ever-more stringent, the pattern of mergers and buyouts which the petrochemical industry is currently faced with add even further complications to the environmental management challenge.
