Throughput is the sum of total releases, the amount leaving a facility in the product, · the inventory change, · the amount transformed on site, · the amount recycled on site or sent off site for recycling, and · the amount entering all downstream processes. If a hazardous or toxic chemical is not found in the raw material, then a raw 181 material other than that chemical is used in the throughput term, resulting in inconsistencies in reporting as discussed in Chapter 5.

Thus it is clear that significant problems arise when this uniform approach is used for even the most rudimentary processing situations. Serious problems can be expected when this concept is applied broadly within the many complex processing situations found throughout industrial facilities covered by SARA Section 313.
