DEVELOPMENT OF EMISSION FACTORS FOR THE RUBBER MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY OMRMEW The contributions of the members of the Environment Committee of the Rubber Manufacturers Association in the preparation of this document are hereby gratefully adtnowledged. The Rubber Manufacturers Association is a cooperative manufacturing trade association with more than 150 member companies. While RMA member companies are bound together by a common denominator-basic raw materials-the membership embraces several industries with often dissimilar problems. For this reason, the services of the RMA are organized into five business groups including: General Products, Information and Statistics, Public Affairs, Technical and Standards, and Finance and Administration. The goals of these groups are to: 1) serve as a forum for exchange of information with and among member companies on issues of common concern, and in areas of common interest 2) provide a single voice for the indusby in dealing with its publics, including government. consumers, and the general public; 3) monitor, recommend and promote the indusky viewpoints on legislative and regulatory issues of concern, and investigate and report on the potential impact of these issues on the rubber indusby; 4) coordinate formulation of indusby positions on domestic and international standards; and 5) establish and maintain dose working relationships with other organizations which share wmninterests and concerns. @ 1995 by The Rubber ManufacturersAssociation, Inc., 1400 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005 All Rights Reserved This dowment may not be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in whole or part, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without the written permission of the Rubber Manufacturers Association.
