Across the country, businesses are discovering that responsible environmental management goes hand in hand with financial growth. Pollution from industrial facilities is a problem, but it can also signal opportunities for profitable investments in pollution prevention.
Pollution prevention reduces unwanted hazardous substances at their source.
Several studies have been done of businesses that are experimenting with pollution prevention. They indicate that a pollution prevention program offers nearly every industrial facility the opportunity to reduce its environmental impact while bolstering its competitiveness and growth. In New Jersey, facilities, which have implemented pollution prevention, have already realized positive returns on their investment.
