Pollution Prevention

Strata-G experts create Pollution Prevention (P2) programs that integrate requirements from multiple sources such as State and Federal regulations, executive orders, contract requirements, corporate directives, and facility permits. Strata-G personnel have successfully helped companies in both the public and private sector to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials from process design to final demolition.

• Conduct P2 audits, reviews and Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessments (PPOAs)
• Develop waste quantity and cost analyses and document progress toward waste reduction goals
• Create P2 training programs and guides
• Support sustainable design (e.g., LEED for existing buildings and new construction)
• Evaluate green transportation methods and develop metrics
• Evaluate surplus chemical and material management processes
• Support development of Site Sustainability Plans in accordance with Executive Order 13514
• Support multiple award-winning P2 programs (e.g., White House Closing-the-Circle Awards)
• Support electronic stewardship efforts as a part of the Federal Electronics Challenge
