Pollution prevention possibilities for small and medium-sized industries. Results of the write projects. Research report 1989-94
The Waste Reduction Innovative Technology Evaluation Program (WRITE) was a pilot program with six (6) states and one (1) local government to identify priority needs at the respective governmental level, find promising waste minimization technologies and perform an evaluation to determine performance, pollution prevention (P2) impact and costs. The research concentrated on environmental problems and (P2) opportunities for small to medium-sized business, technology at pilot-or full-scale, and use of voluntary business/EPA partnerships. A total of 41 technologies were tested and evaluated. Industries included were coating, depainting, electronics, metal plating and finishing, printing, surface cleaning, steel, and a number of miscellaneous categories. Many of the evaluations were able to list cost savings coupled with reduced or eliminated waste streams.
