Recommendation IND 4 — Encourage new businesses to adopt sustainable practices.

In cooperation with the Washington State Department of Commerce (Commerce), Ecology will work with new businesses locating in the state to encourage them to adopt pollution prevention and sustainable practices into their facility and product design. This could include minimizing the use of toxic substances, curbing toxic and greenhouse gas emissions and stormwater runoff, and using less water and energy. This could help them avoid certain regulatory permits.

Milestone IND D: Most of the major new businesses moving to Washington incorporate more sustainable practices.
