Scaling RCRA and EPCRA compliance with automation and expertise

Tesla worked with Encamp on a six-month pilot at 10 sites to modernize hazardous waste (RCRA) and chemical reporting (EPCRA, Tier II, HMBP). The pilot confirmed what leaders feared — manual, spread-out processes were slow, error-prone, and risky.

Encamp helped Tesla’s teams save time, reduce risk, and improve accuracy at some of their most complex facilities. The pilot showed this approach can work across the whole company.

With less risk and more time back, Tesla’s EHS teams can focus on innovation and growth — while staying compliant every day.

Business Case & Investment Pilot Summary Financial Risk

By the numbers

Operational Efficiency

During the pilot, Encamp automated generator tracking, manifest checks, and reporting — saving 75 to 100 hours. The pilot built a clear and repeatable process for managing chemical and waste compliance, making it easy to expand these time savings across all Tesla sites.

Financial Protection

Encamp’s tools helped find and fix issues before they became violations — preventing about $800,000 in potential fines. With centralized reporting and analytics, Tesla could see risk trends and site performance in one place, strengthening compliance and improving decision-making.

Risk Mitigation

The pilot closed key compliance gaps — from generator errors to reporting mistakes — bringing every site to full audit readiness and cutting Tesla’s enforcement risk by more than 90%. It also uncovered risks similar to EPA violations that have led to large fines in other industries — showing real, proven protection for Tesla.

How Encamp Helps

Track What Matters

Encamp consolidates Tesla’s entire waste and chemical compliance program — generator statuses, manifests, CDTFA reporting, and Tier II/HMBP data — into one connected system.

Automate the Routine

Because all compliance data lives in one platform, Encamp preserves institutional knowledge, keeps reporting consistent year over year, and ensures Tesla can stay compliant without depending on any one person or spreadsheet. Business continuity is never at risk.

Get Clarity

Gain visibility into generator status, vendor performance, chemical thresholds, and compliance trends — turning raw data into actionable insights that help prevent violations before they occur.

Why does it matter? Stay audit ready.

For Tesla, compliance isn’t just about avoiding fines — it’s about protecting their brand, meeting ESG goals, and keeping operations running smoothly. By cutting inefficiencies and lowering risk, Encamp lets skilled EHS staff focus on safety and innovation instead of repetitive admin tasks. With audit-ready workflows built in, Tesla can grow quickly while staying fully compliant.
