Abstract: The EPA Pollution
Prevention (P2) program is a voluntary
program that encourages businesses/

reduce both financial costs (e.g. waste
management and cleanup) and
environmental costs (e.g. health
problems and environmental damage).
P2 is any practice that reduces
environmental releases of hazardous
substances, pollutants, or contaminants
prior to entering a waste stream for
recycling, treatment, or disposal. In
