EPA Marks 25th Annual Pollution Prevention Week with Learning Events and Recognition Awards

Released September 18, 2023

Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is kicking-off the 25th Pollution Prevention (P2) Week with a series of events and activities to advance practices that reduce, eliminate or prevent pollution at its source.

P2 practices, prior to recycling, treatment or disposal, can help reduce exposure to toxic chemicals, conserve natural resources and reduce cleanup and financial costs for businesses. It is essential for protecting public health and improving environmental conditions in and around disadvantaged communities that have long been overburdened by pollution.

During P2 Week, EPA will hold events to help businesses and P2 practitioners:

  • Tuesday, September 19, 2-3 p.m. EDT: EPA Regional Pollution Prevention Recognition Awards
    Join EPA in celebrating the P2 accomplishments of businesses in Colorado, Tennessee, Oregon and Washington state.
  • Wednesday, September 20, 2-3 p.m. EDT: 2024 Green Chemistry Challenge Awards 
    Learn about the 2024 Green Chemistry Challenge Awards, including how to apply and updates on the award categories.
  • Thursday, September 21, 1-2 p.m. EDT: Using Ecolabels to Enable Impactful Sustainable Procurement
    Learn how EPA’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) program leverages private sector sustainability standards and ecolabels to help federal purchasers identify and procure environmentally preferable products and services.

In addition, EPA will launch the P2 Hub Resources Center that will serve as a one-stop shop for P2 technical resources including case studies, webinars, tools and articles about P2 solutions, practices and technologies.
