Pollution Prevention (P2) Resources

EPA New England's Assistance and Pollution Prevention (A&P2) Office promotes natural resource conservation and pollutant elimination/reduction through more efficient use of materials, energy, water and land. P2 efforts are integrated into a wide range of EPA New England activities, including compliance assistance, enforcement, and voluntary environmental programs. The Region also manages the P2 Grants program for New England states and tribes.
