P2Trainer Introduction

P2Trainer provides P2 training information to individuals and organizations involved in conducting professional training on pollution prevention and related topics. There is a wealth of expertise among P2 practitioners on conducting professional training for a wide variety of audiences. This database organizes and offers this experience in a single, easily accessible location. In addition to a keyword search, the P2Trainer database can be searched by audience type and P2 training topics (environmental media, production process, P2 methodology and industrial sector).

The P2Trainer was developed as a joint project by the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable (NPPR) and the Northeast Waste Management Officials' Association (NEWMOA). The project was funded under a grant from EPA Headquarters.
