National Pollution Prevention Roundtable (NPPR) services

The Research, Technology, and Energy (RTE) group combines the strengths of what were originally the Research and Technology Transfer workgroup and the Energy Efficiency/Pollution Prevention (E2/P2) workgroup. The mission of this group is to encourage P2, process innovation, safer materials, and increased energy sustainability through the use of new and commercially available technologies. Recently, a major focus of the group has been effective technology diffusion. Through EPA grant funding, members have collaborated to advance adoption of technologies with significant E2/P2 potential in the following sectors: wood finishing, fiberglass reinforced plastics, electroplating, printed wiring boards, painting, coating, and metal casting.
