What is Pollution Prevention?

Pollution Prevention (P2) is any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents pollution at its source.  P2 has become the preferred environmental management strategy for both businesses and government. The prevention of waste at the source before it is created and substitution of non-toxic materials, where possible, benefits the environment AND your budget.
