The objective was to identify technological opportunities within a number of selected industries and/or manufacturing/finishing processes, to reduce pollution. These industries/processes were selected as representative of and applicable to the broad range of U.S. manufacturing businesses. These include: metals coating (i.e., painting) which is widely done in a number of major industries, including the automotive industry; metals degreasing; recyclability of office equipment; chemical manufacturing; printing; textiles dye and dyeing; and the pulp and paper industry. Additionally, the promulgation of new regulations, requiring companies to change their historical manufacturing and waste generating/disposal practices, will continue to create technological needs and opportunities for savvy businesses to develop solutions.
