TIP allows companies to access expert engineering consultants who will develop a customized pollution prevention plan for toxic and hazardous materials management. The plan will inventory toxic substances used in the manufacturing process, recommend improvements for elimination and reduction, and identify Best Management Practices.
TIP operates on a confidential basis between the engineering consultant and participating company.
TIP has been specifically designed for the small to medium-sized manufacturing plant. To be eligible to participate, companies must be located in the CTT area and have a continuous improvement philosophy for toxics reduction and pollution prevention action. The audit inventories toxic substances used in the manufacturing process and identifies options to eliminate and reduce their use. The in-plant audit remains confidential between the client and the engineering consultant. Other organizations are involved in TIP and are assisting in client generation and marketing support.
