Pollution Prevention Grant
The purpose of the Pollution Prevention grant is to provide businesses with technical assistance (e.g., information, training, tools) and to encourage the development and implementation of pollution prevention (P2) practices.
All P2 grants projects selected under this grant support at least one of the EPA's P2 Program's six national emphasis areas (NEAs).
Businesses can save money by reducing their resource use, expenditures, waste and liability costs, while also reducing their environmental footprint and helping to protect human health and the environment.
