Pollution Prevention is a business model that encourages industry to conserve resources, reduce waste and recycle on site, in order of priority. When we reduce use of resources (raw materials, virgin chemicals, water and energy) at the front end, we can often minimize waste (hazardous  waste, solid waste, wastewater and air emissions) at the back end. Conservation of resources and waste reduction are even more desirable than recycling because the resources contributing to wastes are never used. 

Take advantage of the opportunity to reduce your wastes, costs and environmental impact by checking out some of these resources!
