National EPA Information
The following Pollution Prevention and Resource Conservation national programs have been developed with the intent to prevent, conserve, and minimize the generation of land waste. Here in the Mid-Atlantic region, we work locally together with businesses, communities, state and local governments, and other organizations to achieve these environmental goals.
- Pollution Prevention (P2) --
The Pollution Prevention program focuses on preventing pollution through source reduction at its source.
- Resource Conservation Challenge (RCC)--
A national effort to conserve natural resources and energy by managing materials more efficiently. The goals of the RCC are to: Prevent pollution and promote reuse and recycling; Reduce priority and toxic chemicals in products and waste; and Conserve energy and materials. The four national focus areas for the RCC are:a. Municipal Solid Waste Recycling
b. Industrial Materials Recycling
c. Priority and Toxic Chemical Reductions (a.k.a. Waste Minimization)
d. Green Initiatives – Electronic
