Recommendation IND7: Form a work group on low-interest loans

Form a work group to explore how to provide low-interest loans or other financing to businesses and other organizations for innovative pollution prevention or other environmental improvements, such as redesigning products to minimize the use of hazardous substances. Other state and agency programs, including the existing Cascadia revolving fund, that have successful financing mechanisms and/or low-interest loan programs will be examined, as well as funding needs and legal issues.

Related Milestone

An adequately-funded low-interest financing program for the upfront capital costs for preventing pollution and for technologies to reduce wastes and toxics is in place, and some businesses have obtained loans.
