“Pollution Prevention Planning was the perfect tool for understanding the full extent of our waste management needs. It allowed us to get a handle on our systems, rather than just reacting, and it acts as an educational tool for both the waste generator and the environmental manager. Everyone is helped in the long run – it’s the ultimate way to manage wastes.”
“In the course of writing our Pollution Prevention Plan, we discovered significant benefits, including:“Pollution Prevention Planning gave us a real opportunity to take a multi-media approach to environmental management. It provided a process for pulling together the various environmental requirements that affect our facility, and it helped us to evaluate the environmental trade-offs associated with implementing new technologies or practices. It also assured us that our money would be spent on the right things in the end.”
