Showcasing pollution prevention projects and their achievements!
Welcome to the Pollution Prevention Success Stories Web site! The purpose of this site is to facilitate the transfer of voluntary pollution prevention (P2) ideas and practices among organizations and groups, and to encourage others to engage in pollution prevention actions across Canada.
The sharing of successful examples of pollution prevention in practice supports the advancement of pollution prevention in Canada and helps to “achieve a climate in which pollution prevention becomes a major consideration in private sector activities,” one of the five key goals outlined in Pollution Prevention: A Federal Strategy for Action.
All success stories published on the web site recognize P2 results achieved by companies, institutions, organizations, and facilities that have implemented a new and innovative system, procedure, policy, or technology, or adapted those of another’s to meet their needs. The site also showcases relationships that organizations or groups have with their clients and member organizations or the services they offer in order to facilitate the implementation of P2.
The published stories do not in any way describe an endorsement of a particular product, technology or service by the federal government, nor do they describe a partnership, an association or an agency relationship between Environment Canada and any of the companies, institutions, organizations, or facilities with P2 projects profiled on the web site. The information in the stories has been provided by external sources. Users wishing to rely upon this information should consult directly with the appropriate source.
We encourage you to read our policies and procedures, on how potential stories are selected and the site is maintained, in the About the Site section. Should you wish to reproduce any of the content or create a link to one of the success stories on a separate web site, you are advised to refer to Environment Canada’s terms and conditions regarding the use of its web content.
