POLLUTION PREVENTION TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES IN 1991

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
Faced with the increasing costs and liabilities
associated with end-of-pipe waste management
practices, many hazardous waste generators are
turning to pollution prevention as a cleaner, safer,
and more cost-effective alternative. Pollution
prevention is an umbrella term for a wide range of
source reduction activities, which may include toxics
use reduction, chemical substitution, process
modification, product redesign, and better
management practices.
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
a waste management hierarchy that sets source
reduction and recycling as the options of first choice.
This legislation reinforces the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) aggressive effort to
integrate the concept of pollution prevention into
all of its programs and activities. In addition, the
Agency strives to promote pollution prevention
efforts by other Federal agencies, States, local
governments, industry, universities, and the general
public. Providing interested parties with information
about pollution prevention training resources is an
important step in this direction.
This guide contains information about publicly
sponsored training opportunities and resources that
exist throughout the Nation. It is not intended to be
a listing of all pollution prevention resources, but
rather a directory of training-related services and
materials. The document cover.s seminars and
workshops, as well as hardcopy and video training
materials, and provides contact information for State
and Federal pollution prevention programs. The
information in this guide has been provided by State
environmental offices and technical assistance
programs, as well as EPA Headquarters and Regional
Offices. Additional pollution prevention information
can be obtained by accessing EPA's Pollution
Prevention Information Clearinghouse, which offers
a wide range of free information services (see
"Pollution Prevention Resources").
Because of the popularity 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 it was sent
to press, but given the dynamic character of the field,
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.

courses and materials other than those produced or
sponsored by U.S. EPA does not constitute an
endorsement of their quality by the Agency. Many
of the organizations sponsoring such training
opportunities have pollution prevention policies that
differ significantly from those of the U.S. EPA and
thus do not reflect the Agency's position.

retired engineers. This year, emphasis will be placed on followup activities
to the waste reduction assessments and development of case studies, in
addition to initiating new projects.
The first training program was developed with funding from theTennessee
Valley Authority (TVA). A second, 1 -week workshop has been completed
by UT-CIS staff. Many State and Federal agencies have participated in the
UT-CIS/TVA program or have used their training materials. Waste-and
industry-specific waste reduction workshops are provided throughout the
year by UT-CIS for Tennessee industries.
Another training activity includes ongoing nationwide teleconferences on
waste reduction issues. Individual waste reduction subjects are addressed
in a series of videotapes produced from the first teleconference. Future
teleconferences will cover waste reduction opportunities in solvent usage,
electroplating, solid waste, and used-oil issues. (See "Pollution Prevention
Videos".)

INDUSTRIAL WASTE AUDIT AND REDUCTION
MANUAL
The first step to effective waste reduction is a
systematic audit of plant processes. The Industrial
Waste Audit and Reduction Manual explains each step
of the audit process, including determining the
origin, characteristics, and volume of wastes being
produced; evaluating waste disposal methods and
costs; weighing costs and benefits of different waste
reduction measures; and deciding on the best, most
cost-effective methods for your operation. This
manual is targeted at small- and medium-sized
companies, and can be used by both technical and
nontechnical staff. It includes example waste audit
case studies from printed circuit board
manufacturing, steel pickling, and detergent
manufacturing companies, and devotes one section
to sources of pollution prevention information and
assistance.

MANAGEMENT AND MINIMIZATION OF
HAZARDOUS WASTE UNDER RCRA
This manual was written as a teaching aid for
workshops designed to meet the training
requirements of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Actfor North Carolina industries. Although
its focus lies with educating generators about the
Act's regulatory requirements, it promotes pollution
prevention as the best means to avoid the legal and
economic burdens of waste generation. The manual
discusses how to plan a waste reduction program
and conduct an audit, use operating practices
conducive to preventing pollution, and motivate
people to alter their behavior and adopt a waste
reduction mentality.

POLLUTION PREVENTION PAYS
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The Pollution Prevention Pays Instruction Mam/a/was
developed to introduce the concept of pollution
prevention 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 which
(1) minimize or eliminate the production of pollution,
and (2) result in savings to a company.
The main concepts of the manual are (1) current
legal and environmental issues which create the
need for an industrial pollution-reduction program,
and (2) an innovative systems approach to industrial-
resource management that can reduce pollution
and increase profits. The manual includes activity
plans, materials, and information for instructors that
focus on a basic problem-solving approach to waste
reduction and management Theactivitiesemphasize
elimination of pollution at its source through process
modification, product reformulation, recycling, and
conservation of raw materials.

PROFITING FROM WASTE REDUCTION IN
YOUR SMALL BUSINESS
Profiting from Waste Reduction in Your Small Business
helps small business managers and their employees
work together to identify and implement methods
to reduce industrial wastes. Moreover, it is designed
to help managers and employees see their industrial
waste as a financial resource rather than unavoidable
byproducts of their business process. This manual
shows how to organize a business to promote waste
reduction, review business plans for waste reduction
potential, conduct a waste reduction audit, evaluate
a waste reduction program, and learn specific
strategies for nine common business processes. It
includes a section covering waste reduction resources
for small businesses.

TOXICS USE REDUCTION GUIDE
This guide was developed to educate Colorado
industry about the benefitsof reducing thegeneration
of toxic chemicals. It advocates a waste management
strategy based on pollution prevention — not end-
of-pipe treatment — which can lead to economic
savings, reduced regulatory requirements, improved
worker health, and protection of the environment.
These claims are reinforced in a case study of Polaroid
Corporation's pollution prevention successes. The
Toxics Use Reduction Guide includes a section that
explains how any company can establish its own
waste reduction program, from the planning stage
to implementation. A list of pollution prevention
contacts is also included.

This video promotes source reduction and recycling
as the best hazardous waste management options,
and offers treatment as an alternative only after all
pollution prevention opportunities are realized.
Beyond Business as Usual supports its case with
success stories from industry, Federal agencies, and
State and local government programs. The video
stresses that successful pollution prevention requires
both industrial initiatives and governmental direction.
It includes a short discussion of the Federal legislative
foundation for this strategy and presents the opinions
of a cross-section of individuals involved in this field.

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 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 is a stimulating
program of special interest to business owners and
their customers, as well as public policy makers,

Less Is More highlights industry success stories
proving that pollution prevention is the best
alternative to costly end-of-the-pipe waste
management strategies, such as treatment and
disposal. The success stories draw from the
experiences of both large and small industries, which
include electroplating, ink manufacturing, metal
parts manufacturing, pesticide formulating, and
polyethylene producing concerns. The video
describes three needs essential to successful pollution
prevention programs: top-down corporate
commitment to lead the way, employee involvement,
and procedures to track costs and potential liabilities.
Less Is More demonstrates that with regard to
pollution prevention, company innovation — not
regulation— is the key to cost savings, better worker
health, and a cleaner environment. Preventing
industrial waste generation is a "Win-Win" situation
in which government and industry can work as
partners for a safer, cleaner world.

U.S. EPA's Office
of Environmental
Education
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 inaeasingthe public's awareness of environmental problems. The
Office will provide national (eadelifen these areas, and will build upon the ongoing work
of public, non-profit, and privatOpbr groups which are already pursuing these goals.
Agency environmental educatiortprograrns will emphasize four specific 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 wOl be primarily on the K-12 levels, and the program will be multi-media
in its approach. Although grant and fellowship programs are being planned by the Office,
no funding is authorized for these programs until FY 92.

National Pollution
Prevention
Environmental
Education Project
The U.S. EPA, working in partnership with State and local governments, industry,
educational institutions, textbook publishers and other entities, is embarking on
a project that would ultimately produce pollution prevention education materials
for students and teachers. This project will contribute to the establishment of an
environmental ethic and work toward an improved environmental quality. The
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 decision making,
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 is comprised of
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 complimenting pollution prevention
education materials, i.e., 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
identify the gaps in pollution prevention education materials and to avoid
duplicative efforts. This bibliography contains approximately 2,000 references to
pollution prevention, including recycling, resource recovery, source reduction,
energy and water conservation, and composting. The data base will be made
available to the public on the PIES (see "Pollution Prevention Resources"). Each
en try includes, as available, the title of the publication, author, 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 are 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 access 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. This will be accessible
through the literature search data base as well. If you have any materials you wish
to include on this system, please contact the PPIC (see "Pollution Prevention
Resources").

Pollution Prevention
Information
ClearinCliouse
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, ana1 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 exclusively
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 industry-specific materials on
pollution prevention opportunities.

Institute far
Pollution
Prevention
CAIPP)
The AIPP was founded jointly by U.S. EPA and the University of Cincinnati in 1989
to assist EPA in promoting the widespread and expeditious adoption of pollution
prevention concepts. The Institute accomplishes this mission through developing
informational and educational materials; participation in waste reduction
demonstration projects; conducting economic, programmatic, and technological
analyses; assisting government, universities, and industry identify and resolve
various pollution prevention issues. The Institute is composed of a group of
volunteer experts selected by their professional societies, agencies, and trade
associations. These experts participate in four councils that undertake various
tasks: Economics Council, Education Council, Implementation Council, and
Technology Council.

Center for Waste
Reduction
Technologies .
(CWRT)
The CWRT was established in 1989 by the American Institute of Chemical
Engineers to build a partnership among industry, academia, and govemmentfor
the concerted national effort needed to address waste reduction. This partnership
continues to serve as a focal point for research, education, and information
exchange on the innovative waste reduction technologies needed for the next
generation of clean, economically competitive manufacturing facilities.
Targeting Research:
The CWRT is building an integrated research program based on the identification
of target waste streams and the development of a hierarchy of technological
solutions to effect their elimination or reduction. CWRT research will be carried
out by university-based consortia and by individual investigators. The Center
expects to provide up to $1 million annually for each consortium. Approximately
$1.2 million is expected to be available for single investigator grants.
Transferring Technology and Enhancing Education:
The Center is committed to technology transfer through practical "how to"
publications, international conferences, continuing education courses for practicing

engineers, and links with organizations having related interests. The CWRT also
brings waste reduction advances to the educational process by developing new
course materials for undergraduate and graduate curricula, and by sponsoring
student internship programs.

Library/Clearinghouse:
The HWRIC has compiled a broad collection of pollution prevention information,
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 Caro||W|pUution Prevention bibliography, as well as
anumberof publications cited ln:»»ratory waste reducb'on bibliography. Print
and online indexes to all of the foilections are available on site. HWRIC can
distribute single copies of HWRIC-sponsored reports, in addition to pamphlets,
at no charge. Lists of both of these materials are available upon request. Books
and articles are not lent directly outside of the Center, but HWRIC does participate
in interlibrary loans.
Waste Reduction Advisory System (WRAS)
The WRAS is a "user-friendly" computerized waste management tool developed
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 provides 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 the users with over 300 literature abstracts and
case studies on current waste reduction technologies.
A fully executable WRAS program, complete with a User's Guide, costs S95. It
requires 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 that are designed to
identify needs and develop positions on issues. For example, there is a Training
Work Croup that monitors training and brainstorms new pollution prevention
training opportunities, audiences, and approaches.
