Pollution prevention challenge grants. Project summaries
The Pollution Prevention Pays approach is the primary waste management strategy of the State of North Carolina. The simple principle is that reducing and preventing waste pays off economically and environmentally. Costly end-of-the-line treatment processes and waste disposal needs focus on the back door. In 1983 the State established the Pollution Prevention Pays Program to provide free technical assistance to North Carolina industries and municipalities on ways to reduce, recycle and prevent wastes before they become pollutants. The non-regulatory program, located in the Division of Environmental Management, addresses water and air quality, toxic materials, and solid and hazardous waste.
