Lean and Environment Workshop

Workshops in Pollution Prevention and Lean processing are being scheduled for the Fall of 2011. The Zero Waste Network can offer custom, on-site training for businesses wishing to take the next step in environmental performance.

Our workshops will give you strategies on how to improve efficiency while decreasing or eliminating pollution. Experts in pollution prevention, environmental management systems (EMS), environmental regulations, and energy efficiency conduct an interactive workshop with classroom exercises that will help you use P2 strategies to improve your bottom line.

In previous years, workshop participants reported savings of over $200,000 by implementing pollution prevention practices; they eliminated over 11,000 pounds of pollution, and reported improvement in compliance, energy use, and water conservation.
