Pollution prevention
In our 20 years of service, MnTAP has responded to over 26,000 requests for technical assistance from Minnesota companies through telephone assistance, site visits, student intern projects, pollution prevention teams, presentations, workshops and its Materials Exchange program.
| MnTAP has helped businesses save nearly $18 million in first year savings. Companies receiving MnTAP assistance have documented reducing over: |
• |
13.1 million pounds of air emissions |
• |
324 million pounds of solid waste |
• |
9 million pounds of wastewater loading |
• |
307.8 million gallons of water |
“We’re proud to have worked with so many Minnesota companies on pollution prevention,” said Cindy McComas, MnTAP director. “People in Minnesota businesses want a clean, healthy environment. They want to find ways to reduce waste at the source.”
