What is the Indiana P2 Toolkit?
The goal of the Indiana P2 Toolkit and its component parts is to encourage Indiana’s businesses particularly small and medium sized, to implement best management practices for Pollution Prevention (P2) into their businesses and day-to-day operations. Best management practices utilize resources (raw materials, water, energy, and air) efficiently and use less harmful or less toxic substances to reduce or eliminate pollution at the source. These resources are open to all Indiana regulated entities especially small and medium sized businesses.
