pollution prevention programs

Pollution prevention programs focus on reducing or eliminating waste and pollutants before they are created, rather than managing them after the fact. This involves designing processes, products, and practices that minimize environmental impact—like using less harmful materials, improving efficiency, or modifying manufacturing methods. The goal is to protect the environment, improve safety, and often save costs. By proactively addressing pollution at its source, these programs help create sustainable operations that benefit both the planet and businesses.
