An official website of the United States government.

Due to a lapse in appropriations, EPA websites will not be regularly updated. In the event of an environmental emergency imminently threatening the safety of human life or where necessary to protect certain property, the EPA website will be updated with appropriate information. Please note that all information on the EPA website may not be up to date, and transactions and inquiries submitted to the EPA website may not be processed or responded to until appropriations are enacted.

We've made some changes to EPA.gov. If the information you are looking for is not here, you may be able to find it on the EPA Web Archive or the January 19, 2017 Web Snapshot.

Results: E3 by the Numbers

These are some of the benefits brought about by E3 since 2009. E3 assessment teams are continuing to identify opportunities for manufacturers to improve environmental performance, energy efficiency, and economic conditions. E3 will share more results as new projects get under way and reporting expands.

Participating E3 communities identified opportunities to reduce >103 million lbs. air emissions, <851 million lbs. solid waste, >1.4 million lbs. hazardous waste, >254 million lbs. water pollution, >267 million gals water use (June 2015)

Communities participating in E3 have helped identify 584,001 metric tons CO2 emission reductions...the equivalent to removing more than 122,948 passenger vehicles from the road! (June 2015)

Participating E3 communities have identified nearly 29 million in one-time cost savings, more than 49 million in environmental savings, over 127.6 million in lean savings and almost 38 million in energy cost savings (June 2015)
