Across the country, businesses are discovering that responsible environmental management goes hand in hand with financial growth. Pollution from industrial facilities is a problem, but it can also signal opportunities for profitable investments in pollution prevention. Pollution prevention reduces unwanted hazardous substances at their source.

Several studies have been done of businesses that are experimenting with pollution prevention. They indicate that a pollution prevention program offers nearly every industrial facility the opportunity to reduce its environmental impact while bolstering its competitiveness and growth. In New Jersey, facilities that have implemented pollution prevention have already realized positive returns on their investment.

If you operate a facility in New Jersey and are interested in implementing P2 measures, but need technical assistance, contact the New Jersey Manufacturing Excellence (NJME) program located at Rutgers University.
