Introduction
"There are significant opportunities for industry to
reduce or prevent pollution at the source through cost-
effective changes in production, operations, and raw
materials use. Such changes offer industry substantial
savings in reduced raw material, pollution control, and
liability costs as well as help protect the environment
and reduce risks to worker health and safety."
The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990
Purpose of this Document
Thisannualguidecontains information about publicly
sponsored pollution prevention resources and training
opportunities available across the Nation. Drawing
upon diverse sources, the document consolidates a
wide range of information not easily accessible by the
public. The goal of this publication is to provide
persons interested in learning more about pollution
prevention options with a single source of information
on:
Where to obtain pollution prevention training,
or who might be able to share experiences about
establishing a new training opportunity;
What publications and videos are available that
can help them learn more about pollution
prevention;
Whom to contact at the State and Federal levels
for assistance;
Which universitycentersareconducting pollution
prevention research and training;
Which Federal, State, and nonprofit organizations
can provide additional pollution prevention
information and technical assistance.
Additional information on the topics covered in this
manual and on related subjects can be obtained by
accessing the Pollution Prevention Information
Clearinghouse (PPIC), which offers a wide range of free
information services (see Section 7, Pollution Prevention
Clearinghouses and Associations).
What Is Pollution Prevention?
Faced with the increasing costs and liabilities
associated with end-of-pipe waste management
practices, many waste generators are turning to pollution
prevention as a cleaner, safer, and more cost-effective
alternative. Pollution prevention (also known as source
reduction) is defined as:
Any practice which reduces the amount of any
hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant
entering the waste stream or otherwise released to the
environment (including fugitive emissions) prior to
recycling, treatment, or disposal; and reduces the
hazards to public health and the environment associated
with the release of such substances, pollutants, or
contaminants.'
Pollution prevention includes such techniques as
toxics use reduction, raw material substitution, process
or equipment modification, product redesign, training,
improved inventory control, production planning and
sequencing, and better management practices.
Pollution Prevention Is Our Notional Policy
Acknowledging the importance of pollution
prevention in the national environmental strategy,
Congress passed the landmark Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990. This act establishes as national policy an
environmental management hierarchy that sets
1. Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C.
§13101,et. seq.
POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
-------
pollution prevention as the option of first choice. For
those wastes that are not capable of being reduced at
the source, this hierarchy considers recycling to be the
next best management option. A waste generator
should turn to treatment or disposal to solve a waste
generation problem only after source reduction and
recycling have been considered.
EPA's Leadership in Preventing Pollution
The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 reinforces
EPA's continuing and aggressive effort to integrate
pollution prevention into all of its programs and activities.
Released in February 1991, EPA's "Pollution Prevention
Strategy" provides guidance on incorporating pollution
prevention into ongoing programs and emphasizes
the need for continued strong regulatory and
enforcement programs. The strategy includes a plan
for achieving substantial voluntary reductions of targeted
high risk industrial chemicals through pollution
prevention. The plan, known as the 33/50 Program,
is aimed at reducing 17 high risk chemicals 33 percent
by the end of 1992 and at least 50 percent by the end
of 1995 (see Section V: U.S. EPA Pollution Prevention
Programs). The 33/50 Program is designed to maximize
private sector initiatives while challenging industry to
achieve ambitious prevention goals. The Agency's
pollution prevention strategy also calls for the
development of plans for the consumer, agricultural,
energy, transportation and Federal sectors.
Through these activities EPA strives to promote
pollution prevention efforts by other Federal agencies,
States, local governments, industry, universities,
nonprofit organizations, and the general public. The
Agency's pollution prevention efforts include providing
technical information transfer and exchange
mechanisms, administering grant programs,
conducting research, and offering public outreach
services (contactthe PPICfor information aboutspecific
initiatives).
Updates to this Guide
Because of the high visibility and rapid growth of this
field, many pollution prevention efforts are in a state of
flux. We worked to ensure that the information in this
guide was as current as possible when the document
was sent to press. Given the dynamic character of the
field, however, some information will have changed
since it was collected. We plan to expand and update
this publication annually to include additional
information called to our attention in the future.

POLLUTION PREVENTION PAYS INSTRUCTION
MANUAL
The Pollution Prevention Pays Instruction Manual was
developed to introduce the concept of pollution pre-
vention and cost savings to individuals entering the
industrial work force. "Pollution Prevention Pays," or
PPP, is a management approach that results in a
change from end-of-the-pipe measures for controlling
pollution to preventative measures that (1) minimize or
eliminate the production of pollution and (2) result in
savings to a company.
The manual concentrates on (1) current legal and
environmental issues that create the need for an indus-
trial pollution-reduction program and (2) an innova-
tive systems approach to industrial-resource manage-
ment that can reduce pollution and increase profits.
The document includes activity plans, materials, and
information for instructors that focus on a basic prob-
lem-solving approach to waste reduction and manage-
ment. The activities emphasize elimination of pollution
at its source through process modification, product
reformulation, recycling, and conservation of raw
materials.

Bibliographic Reports on
Pollution Prevention
Options for 33/50 Program
Companies
To assist companies in participating in the 33/50
Program, EPA is developing a series of bibliographic
reports for many of the industries that are major
reieasers of the 1 7 targeted chemicals. Each report will:
Summarize the types of processes within the
industrial category primarily responsible for re-
lease of the chemicals of concern
Describe general pollution prevention and recy-
cling alternatives applicable to the industrial pro-
cesses
Provide a bibliography of documents that may
provide detailed technical information on pollu-
tion prevention and recycling options for the
industrial processes.
The reports also will provide education to the gen-
eral public, EPA staff, and State and local government
employees on pollution prevention options that may
be available for various industrial processes.
Four reports are currently available:
Wood Manufacturing Covering industrial
processes in Standard Industrial Classification
code 25
Metal Fabrication Covering industrial
processes in Standard Industrial Classification
codes 34 through 38
Primary MetalsCovering industrial processes
in Standard Industrial Classification code 33.
Printing, Publishing, and Allied Industries
Covering industrial processes in Standard
Industrial Classification code 27.
Additional reports covering other industries should
be available later in 1992.

simple, practical advice on how to reduce pollution
from households. The tape emphasizes safe use,
proper disposal, recycling, and reduction of the most
common household toxics: motor oil, paints, strippers,
pesticides, automotive products, and oven and drain
cleaners. Highlights include discussions of community
programs that collect and recycle or dispose of oil,
pesticides, and paint; a demonstration of simple ways
to prevent poisoning and injury from the misuse of
household chemicals; and tips from professional
housecleaners who use mild soaps and baking soda
instead of more toxic and expensive cleaning products.
Cleaning Up Toxics In Business shows how small
businesses can use a variety of innovative solutions to
comply with increasingly strict environmental
regulations. Businesses, from a brass bed manufacturer
to a termite control service, are finding ways to stop
pollution before it starts substituting less hazardous
materials or techniques. Others, such as dry cleaners,
are investing in new equipment that recaptures and
reuses virtually all toxic chemicals in their shops. This

Cost: $350
In a series of company profiles, Waste Not examines
activities and programs within industry that have been
designed to reduce or eliminate the generation of
hazardous waste atthe source. Company spokespersons
describe how reducing waste has helped them lower
costs and liabilities. Profiles include small, medium, and
large manufacturers of electroplated, rubber, and
photographic products. Although basically
nontechnical, the tape includes an overview of waste
reduction methods and emphasizes the need to relate
waste reduction to manufacturing in terms of processes,
costs, and design.

Cost: Free Loan
Overconsumption, consumer preferencefordisposable
products, and an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality
among the public have led to the Nation's current
municipal solid waste crisis. The U.S. generates 160
million tons of this waste each year. This amount,
compounded by shrinking landfill space and the "not
in my backyard" syndrome, leaves few waste
management options. Waste Not... Want Not offers
EPA's solution: a waste management hierarchy led by
source reduction and recycling. The video stresses that
government, industry, and the public must work
cooperatively if the national waste reduction goal of 25
percent by 1992 is to be met. Industry leadership in
preventing pollution is illustrated in highlights of 3M's
Pollution Prevention Pays Program.

the need to train both industrial and regulatory
personnel. A portion of the teleconference addresses
the national strategy for pollution prevention,
strengthening State waste reduction programs and
opportunities for local governments to promote

pollution prevention. Another portion of the
teleconference outlines the incentives for industry to
implement waste reduction plans with successful
company case studies. These eight case studies detail
how the companies determined waste reduction options
and implemented the methods and techniques
identified. Finally, the teleconference covers waste
reduction assessment procedures that motivate people
to search, screen, and put into practice measures that
result in decreased waste generation. Different sessions
of the teleconference can be used as stand- alone
training courses. Theteleconference'straining materials
are on the cutting edge of identified waste reduction
needs for industry and State programs.
The following videos were developed from the
teleconference as individual subjects. To order the

ERA'S 33/50
Program
Announced early in 1991, EPA's 33/50 Program is a
voluntary pollution prevention initiative seeking to
achieve real reductions in pollution in a relatively short
period.
Under this program, EPA has identified 17 high
priority toxic chemicals. EPA's Administrator has set
a goal of reducing the total amount of these chemicals
released into the. environment and transferred offsite by
33 percent at the end of 1992 and by 50 percent at the
end of 1995.
EPA is seeking reductions primarily through pollution
prevention practices going beyond regulatory
requirements. EPA oho will be encouraging industry
to develop a preventive approach seeking continuous
environmental improvement even beyond these
reductions and these chemicals.
Expected Results
Success in the program will be measured by
nationwide reductions, rather than results at each
company orfacility. This approach provides flexibility
and allows participating companies to develop
reduction strategies that are the most cost-effective
for their facilities.
In numeric terms, the goal is to reduce the amount
of releases and off-site transfers from the 1.4 billion
pounds reported in 1988 to 700 million pounds by
1995. EPA's Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) will be
used to track these reductions using 1988 data as a
baseline.
Selection of Chemicals
Each of the 1 7 chemicals was selected from TRI
based on a number of factors, including high pro-
duction volume, high releases and offsite transfers of
the chemical relative to total production, opportuni-
ties for pollution prevention, and potential for caus-
ing detrimental health and environmental effects.

Implementation
EPA is contacting companies to provide them
with information on the 33/50 Program and to
solicit their participation. Companies are being
asked to identify and implement cost-effective
pollution prevention practices related to the 17
chemicals and to develop written commitments
stating their reduction goals and how they plan to
achieve them. Access to these written commitment
statements will be made available at a public docket
at EPA Headquarters.
Relationship to Other Programs
The 33/50 Program is part of EPA's overall Pollution
Prevention Strategy and the first of the Agency's new
pollution prevention initiatives. It is also a major
component of the Office of Pollution Prevention and
Toxics' Existing Chemicals Revitalization Program.
All of the 33/50 Program chemicals are regulated
under one or more existing environmental statutes,
and the 33/50 Program is intended to complement,
not replace, ongoing EPA programs. All 1 7 targeted
chemicalswill be subjectto the Maximum Achievable
Control Technology (MACT) standards of the new
Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA believes that the incentive
for early reductions offered by the MACT provisions
will further the progress of the 33/50 Program.

This office has prime responsibility for EPA's pollution
prevention research. In 1987, ORD initiated the Waste
Minimization Research program that primarily
addressed ways to minimize hazardous wastes. In
1989, ORD began to build a multi-media research
program. The plan for expanding this program,
described in the Pollution Prevention Research Plan:
Report to Congress, focused on six functional areas of
pollution prevention research: 1) product research; 2)
process research; 3) recycling/reuse research; 4) social
science research; 5) anticipatory research; and 6)
technology transfer.
Over the past four years (FY 88-92) pollution
prevention research has grown in all sixfunctional areas
and has expanded to air, water, pesticides, and toxic
substances. Applied research to reduce hazardous/
industrial wastes has continued to be a priority, and has
focused primarily on "process" research related to
different industry sectors. Product research, social
science research and technical assistance have been
growth areas. The Pollution Prevention Information
Clearinghouse was established to transfer data and
research results to clients in government, industry and
the general public.
Pollution prevention research over the next five
years will target: 1) high risk environmental problems
for which pollution prevention offers a cost-effective
solution for reducing the risks (such as indoor air
pollution and ozone depleting substances), and 2)
cross-cutting research that can be applied to multiple
problems, such as measurement, modeling, and life
cycle analysis.

The Agency has established an Office of Environmental Education as authorized by the
recently enacted National Environmental Education Act of 1990. The office's mandate is
to foster an enhanced environmental ethic in society by improving the environmental
literacy of ouryouth and increasing the public's awareness of environmental problems. The
Office will provide national leadership in these areas, and will build upon the ongoing work
of public, nonprofit, and private sector groups already pursuing these goals. Agency
environmental education programs will emphasizefourspecific themes: wise use of natural
resources, prevention of environmental problems, the importance of environmentally
sensitive personal behavior, and the need for additional action at the community level to
address environmental problems.
The Office's focus will be primarily on the K-12 levels, and the program will be multimedia
in its approach. Although grant and fellowship programs are being planned by the Office,
no funding is authorized for these programs until FY 92.

The University of Michigan has been awarded funding for a national pollution
prevention education center. This center will develop pollution prevention
curriculum modulesfor undergraduate and graduate engineering, business, and
natural resources classes, and for broad distribution to other universities nationwide.
The center plans to conduct outreach efforts through short summer courses, offer
pollution prevention internships for students at business and industrial facilities,
and provide information and education for universityfaculty through departmental
and interdepartmental seminars. The University has committed to support the
center for 3 years with substantial supplemental funding. The award of this
project, worth more than $300,000, grows out of an EPA "2% Set-Aside" project
initiated by EPA's Office of Toxic Substances.

The U.S. EPA, working in partnership with State and local governments, industry,
educational institutions, textbook publishers, and other entities, is embarking on
a projectthatwould ultimately produce pollution prevention education materials
for students and teachers. This project will contribute to the establishment of an
environmental ethic and work toward improved environmental quality. The
POLLUTION PREVENTION AND RESOURCES TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
EDUCATION
-------
materials to be produced will concentrate on kindergarten through grade 12, or
a specific segment of this broad group, and will emphasize that preventing
pollution at the source is preferable to managing pollutants after they are
produced.
A short-term goal is to provide our country's youth with an appreciation and an
understanding of the potential benefits of pollution prevention, including
conservation and .recycling. The ultimate goal of the project is to instill in our
future leaders, an ethic for more integrated environmental decisionmaking,
pollution prevention, and protection of human health and the environment.
This program is directed by an Agency-wide group, the National Pollution
Prevention Environmental Education Task Force. This task force comprises
membership from all EPA Regions, the Office of the Administrator, and the Office
of Pollution Prevention.
The actual form of the materials to be produced will be determined with the
assistance of an Advisory Board to the task force. The task force will also
encourage the private production of complementing pollution prevention
education materials, e.g., videos, films, computer software, teaching aids,
textbooks, etc. Special emphasis and consideration will be given to the
environmental education needs of urban and rural youths.

Bibliographic Data Base of Educational Curriculum Material
As the first project of the National Pollution Prevention Environmental Education
Project, the Office of Pollution Prevention has developed an annotated bibliographic
data base of educational curriculum material. This purpose of this project is to
POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
EDUCATION
-------
identify the gaps in pollution prevention education materials and to avoid
duplicative efforts. This bibliography contains approximately 2,500 references to
pollution prevention, including recycling, resource recovery, source reduction,
energy and water conservation, and composting. The data base is accessible to
the public on the PIES and includes, as available, the following information: date
of publication, a brief abstract, cost, and information on how to obtain the
publication.
PIES Literature Search Data Base
The PPIC Repository includes a collection of educational materials covering a
range of source reduction and recycling issues. The target audience for most of
these materials is students in kindergarten through grade 12. These documents
are abstracted and currently available on the PIES' literature search data base. The
collection will continue to expand as new instructional materials are developed.
To obtain these abstracts, access the PIES and type "open 1" at the Main Menu
prompt. Select the data base number 6 "General Publications Abstracts"
and search on the keywords "educational" or "curriculum." If a more focused
search is desired, combine these keywords with more descriptive keywords (for
example, "educational+recycling"). Note: these abstracts will eventually be
combined with the bibliographic data base mentioned above.
The PPIC is also collecting curriculum materials for undergraduate and graduate
engineering courses that address pollution prevention. The documents will also
be accessible through the literature search data base. If you have any materials
you wish to include on this system, please contact the PPIC (see "Other Pollution
Prevention Resources").

Clearinghouse
The Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse (PPIC) is dedicated to
reducing or eliminating industrial pollutants through technology transfer,
education, and public awareness. The Clearinghouse contains technical,
policy, programmatic, legislative, and financial information concerning
source reduction and recycling efforts in the United States and abroad. It is
a free, nonregulatory service of the U.S. EPA and is accessible by personal
computer, telephone hotline, or mail.
PPIC Structure
The Clearinghouse comprises four information exchange mechanisms:
Repository: A hard copy reference library containing the most current
pollution prevention information. Case studies, fact sheets, programmatic
and legislative information, and training materials are included in the
Repository.
Pollution Prevention Information Exchange System (PIES): A 24-hour
electronic network consisting of message centers, technical data bases,
issue-specific "mini-exchanges," and a calendar of events devoted exclu-
sively to pollution prevention. The system enables the user to access the
Repository, a document ordering service, and PPIC technical staff.
Hotlines: Toll free telephone services to answer or refer questions and
provide links to the PIES for users without access to a personal computer.
Outreach Efforts: Workshops and information packets containing indus-
try-specific materials on pollution prevention opportunities.

CWRT is building an integrated research program based on the identifica-
tion of target waste streams and the development of a hierarchy of techno-
logical solutions to effect their solution or elimination. CWRT's Research
Advisory Committee solicits university proposals covering both experimen-
tal research and process design methodology. Requests-for-proposals,
currently under development, center around two major areas: total water
reuse, and dilute VOC emissions recovery.
Transferring Technology and Enhancing Education
CWRT is committed to transferring technology and related information to
the user community through practical "how-to" publications, international
conferences, continuing education courses, and links with organizations
having related interests. CWRT's Technology Transfer Committee works to
identify and prioritize candidate projects, including best management
practices in several technology areas, standardized economic evaluation of
technology, and current practices in specific areas of waste reduction.
CWRT is also developing course materials for undergraduate and graduate
engineering curricula and student internship programs, as well as continu-
ing education courses for practicing engineers.

assistance in a multidisciplinary approach to manage and reduce hazardous
waste in Illinois. HWRIC collects and shares this information through its
library/clearinghouse and several computerized waste management tools.
Library/Clearinghouse
The HWRIC has collected a broad collection of pollution prevention infor-
mation, including books, journal articles, reports, and pamphlets on various
topics. Books and reports are compiled into a quarterly waste reduction
bibliography, copies of which are available upon request. The library/
clearinghouse includes all of the studies cited and the North Carolina
Pollution Prevention bibliography, as well as a number of publications cited
in a laboratory waste reduction bibliography. Print and online indexes to all
of the collections are available on site. HWRIC can distribute single copies
of HWRIC-sponsored reports, in addition to pamphlets, at no charge. Lists
of both types of materials are available upon request. Books and articles are

Waste Reduction Advisory System (WRAS)
The WRAS is a user-friendly computerized waste management tool devel-
oped by the HWRIC, the U.S. EPA, and other State waste management
programs. It provides waste generators with a wide range of options for
reducing and recycling industrial waste. The WRAS has two parts: the
Waste Reduction Audit Checklist (WRAC) and the WRIB. The WRAC gives
individualized waste reduction assistance via a series of questions presented
in the audit checklist. It is designed to assess a facility's current waste
reduction activities and then identify potential waste reduction techniques
for each waste generating process and job operation. The WRIB provides
users with more than 300 literature abstracts and case studies on current
waste reduction technologies. Currently, the WRAS case study data base is being
merged with the PIES data base (see the description of the PPIC in this section).
A fully executable WRAS program, complete with a User's Guide, costs $95.
To access this program, a user needs a fully IBM compatible PC with at least
640 K of memory, a hard disk, and DOS version 2.1 or greater.

The National
Roundtable of
State Pollution
Prevention
Programs
(Roundtable)
The Roundtable is a group of pollution prevention programs at the State
and local level in both the public and academic sectors. Typically, member
programs are engaged in a broad range of activities, including multi-
audience training and primary to post-secondary pollution prevention
education, supported by a variety of State and Federal funding sources.
The Roundtable is coordinated through biannual conferences as well as
ongoing activities. Conferences serve in part as opportunities for updates
on member programs' progress, including their training efforts. From the
conferences spring work groups designed to identify needs and develop
positions on issues. For example, a Training Work Croup monitors training
and brainstorms new pollution prevention training opportunities, audi-
ences, and approaches.
The Roundtable is funded through a U.S. EPA grant administered by
WRITAR (see below).
