  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the SABIC 
Innovative Plastics facility in Mount Vernon, Indiana as recipient of 
the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable's MVP2 Project Award. 
SABIC Innovative Plastics is one of the largest producers of 
thermoplastics, glycols, methanol and fertilizers and this award is 
testament to its facilities dedication to pollution prevention.
  The project garnering this award recovered and commercialized sodium 
nitrate. This initiative reduced water use by 19 million gallons and 
carbon dioxide generation by 10 million pounds for a combined savings 
of $4.45 million annually.
  I am proud to have the global headquarters of SABIC in our district 
and their commitment to environmental sustainability should be 
commended. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the Mt. Vernon SABIC Innovative Plastics facility for 
receipt of the MVP2 Project Award.
