Pollution Prevention (P2)

Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2RX)

The Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx™) is a national network of regional P2 information centers whose mission is to advance pollution prevention as a cornerstone of sustainability. The centers build networks, deliver P2 information and measure P2 program results. The P2Rx centers are funded in part through grants from EPA under the Pollution Prevention Information Network grants program.

The goals of the P2Rx Regional Information Centers are to:

  • Build and facilitate dynamic regional and national P2 topic driven networks.
  • Serve as the trusted source for P2 information.
  • Increase the awareness, accessibility and usability of P2 information.
  • Evaluate and measure the impact of various tools to achieve our goals.
