Pollution Prevention Grants Program is sponsored by ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. The P2 grant program was enacted under the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 to 1) Provide technical assistance (e.g., information, training and tools) to businesses/facilities on source reduction/P2 techniques to help them adopt and implement source reduction/P2 approaches that may increase the development, adoption, and market penetration of sustainable manufacturing and processing practices and greener products. 2) Identify, develop, document, and share source reduction/P2 best management practices and innovations so the information generated may inform future technical assistance and encourage practices and innovations that may be replicated by others. The technical assistance provided must use P2/source reduction techniques to reduce and/or eliminate pollution from air, water, and/or land prior to performing recycling, reuse, clean up, or disposal activities. The P2 grant program funds may be awarded as grants and/or cooperative agreements. Funding provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Job Act (IIJA) for FY2022-2026 affords the P2 program the ability to further support P2 technical assistance to businesses. Updated information on these programs is on EPA’s Grant Program for Pollution Prevention website: https://www.epa.gov/p2/grant-programs-pollution-prevention. In FY 2026, the P2 will continue to: 1. Help businesses adopt P2 techniques into day-to-day operations to reduce or eliminate harmful pollutants from entering the air, water, or land 2. Encourage education and/or training in P2/source reduction techniques. 3. Support P2 information sharing among states, state and federally-recognized tribal entities (e.g., state/tribal colleges/universities), federally-recognized tribes, local technical assistance programs, businesses, and industry.
