On December 9, U.S. EPA Region 5 held a one-day training session that provided an introduction to green chemistry and engineering basics for pollution prevention technical assistance providers. The event was also broadcast as a webinar.
Speakers and topics included:
- “P2 Hazard Reduction Fundamentals and National Metrics for Measuring
Success” — Kathy Davey, U.S. EPA, HQ - “Highlights of Module 2: U.S. EPA’s Design for the Environment Program
and External Resources” — Donna Twickler, U.S. EPA, Region 5 - “Using GLRPPR to Identify Hazardous Substance Reduction Resources” — Laura Barnes, Great Lakes Regional Pollution Prevention Roundtable
- “Green Industrial Performance through Waste Minimization” — Dan Marsch, Illinois Sustainable Technology Center
- “Hazardous Substance Reduction through Best Management Practices: MnTAP Case Study Examples” — Laura Babcock, Minnesota Technical Assistance Program
- “Targeting Chemicals of Concern and Industrial Sectors” — Laura Babcock, Minnesota Technical Assistance Program
- “Using the Toxics Release Inventory Pollution Prevention Data Tool” — Daniel Teitelbaum, U.S. EPA, HQ
Online modules are also being developed using this training material. They will be available in early 2014. Training materials are available from the following links:
