Programs/Projects
EPA Region 2's Pollution Prevention Grant Program issues grants to non-profit organizations, state/local governments and tribes for projects that improve the environment and public health through pollution prevention or that encourage the institutionalization and innovative use of pollution prevention as the preferred approached for addressing environmental issues.
The Environmental Accounting Project began in 1992 in response to concerns from outside stakeholders that pollution prevention would not be adopted as the first choice of environmental management by industry until the environmental costs of non-prevention approaches and the economic benefits of pollution prevention could be seen by managers making business decisions. The Project's mission is to encourage and motivate business to understand the full spectrum of their environmental costs, and integrate these costs into decision making.
The Pollution Prevention Business Development and Finance Program was establish to encourage the financial community to promote pollution prevention among businesses.
