Learn more about specific aspects of the DfE Program by visiting several other EPA programs that incorporate the DfE concept.
Green
Chemistry
EPA's Green Chemistry Program fosters the research, development, and implementation
of innovative chemical technologies that prevent pollution in both a scientifically
sound and cost-effective manner. It supports fundamental research in the
area of environmentally benign chemistry as well as a variety of educational
activities, international activities, conferences and meetings, and tool
development, all through voluntary partnerships with academia, industry,
and other government agencies.
Green
Engineering
EPA's Green Engineering Program is introducing a "green" philosophy
into undergraduate chemical engineering programs. The program aims to
develop and maintain effective communication between educators and practicing
engineers. To this end the program has developed text books and workshops
for professors.
Environmentally Preferable
Purchasing
EPA's Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Program is a federal
initiative that encourages and assists Executive agencies in the purchasing
of environmentally preferable products and services. The goal of the EPP
Program is to help increase the availability of products and services
that are environmentally preferable, protect human health, save money,
and improve the overall quality of government purchases. Such purchases
are required by several Executive Orders, including Executive
Order 13101 [PDF].
The Environmental Technology Opportunities Portal, or ETOP, is a web site that has been designed to link you to programs that help fund development of environmental technologies, as well as to information on existing environmental technologies. The Design for the Environment Program is listed as a Recognition and Incentives Program, which assists in promoting technologies.
