Case Studies

You will find two types of case studies here:

Technical assistance case studies- which are specific to a company and manufacturing process.
P2 Integration Case Studies - which are specific to Federal, State or Local government practices - that encourage industries to adopt P2 approaches in order to reduce pollutants in the air or water, or reduce the amount of hazardous waste, or encourage conservation of natural resources.

P2 Integration Case Studies

EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) has selected these 12 case studies from across the country to illustrate how pollution prevention approaches can be applied into traditional air, water, waste and toxics programs of State and Local government environmental protection agencies. In these case studies pollution prevention advocates worked with their agency partners can chart new pathways to achieving compliance. These results were produced without Federal grants.
