Pollution Prevention for Businesses

Pollution prevention, or P2, is any practice that eliminates or reduces waste or hazardous substances at the source prior to reuse, recycling, treatment and disposal. Companies can save money, increase profits, operate more efficiently and improve the environment through P2 practices. Iowa's businesses and industries will find numerous resources on this Web page to reap the benefits of pollution prevention. The DNR's Pollution Prevention Services offers confidential and non-regulatory assistance at no cost.
